I first came across magnetic cable ties while scrolling through TikTok and ended up ordering a pack of 14 on Amazon for $15. I'm always looking for organization hacks that are easy to use, and this seemed like a quick, inexpensive option to help untangle all of my chargers.
I used to throw all of my chargers in a drawer. They'd get clumped and tangled and I'd forget which charger went with which device. Wrapping up the chargers with these magnetic cable ties has kept them all separate from each other, which makes it so much easier to grab the one I need without picking up a ball of tangled cords.

The magnetic design is simple but game changing
These Fironst ties are made of silicone with magnets at each end. They have a decent amount of stretch to them so you can wrap anything tightly and securely. The magnets are strong enough that they've never accidentally broken apart.
I prefer these to rubber bands because they're more secure and I've never had them break from too much stress. I also tend to lose regular twist ties, but these are brightly colored enough that I've never misplaced them.
The magnets offer a simple but game-changing upgrade over conventional ties, and I'll never go back to regular ones again. I've bought multiple packs and shared them with family members, who are equally impressed.

You can use them for more than just cords, too.
The ties are great for hanging things on the fridge, or tying up a loaf of bread if you lost the twist tie it came with.

Cons to consider
Because the ties are secured with magnets, anything metal will stick to them. Sometimes when I throw a cord into my bag, a loose hair barrette latches on. They've also attached to other items I keep in drawers, like a pair of scissors.

The bottom line
These magnetic cable ties are a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to keep your chargers or other cords organized and untangled. For $15, I was able to reorganize my charger drawer and still have some ties leftover. I highly recommend magnetic cable ties as an alternative to rubber bands or paper twist ties.
