When two parts of a machine or tool come apart, tie wraps can be effectively used to hold them together again. Here's an example of a repair on a cracked refrigerator door shelf.

| Over the years this crack developed in the door shelf |
 |
| Drill a hole in the top of the divider |
 |
| Drill a hole under the shelf |
 |
| Feed the tie wrap through from the bottom and tighten |

| The Finished job |
Sometimes two or more tie wraps are needed to reattach a part. A drill chuck key is a good example. It's always handy to have the key on the drill power cord. It's almost inevitable, though, that the original rubber holder will one day fall off. Put a tie wrap around the cord. Before tightening it, feed a second tie though the opening and around the chuck key. Cinch the chuck key tie wrap real tight. Leave a little play around the one on the cord so the key can slide up and down the cord a bit.
