Does anyone use zip ties to seal there bags besides me?

I use releasable zip ties to seal my bags. So I was wondering how many people do it this way? They are cheap and quick and I didn't have to buy an impulse sealer. They even can go through the PC with no problem. These are the ones I use...
I usually get mine from Amazon for $10.99 but they are out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/200-Black-8-in-Releasable-Reusable-Nylon-Cable-Zip-Ties-50-lbs-Tensile-Strength-/202212092715

I've just started a couple bags and used zip ties for the reasons you mentioned ^^^
It would seem to me using them would allow you to reuse the bags as well wouldn't it?

I use regular zip ties for my bags, these releasable ones seem like a good idea though!

I did at first but after I got an impulse sealer I never looked back.

Because of ease of use? Does a better job?
*edit - I'm sure it's been mentioned and debated numerous times but I value your experience and knowledge

Both. Less Contams, less topfruiting, easier to get a good buble of sterile air- everything about it really. Tt. 55

For spawn, you could reuse the bags. But for fruiting the sub I put slices in the bag.

Thanks for the info guys!
I haven't fully taken the plunge into bags yet. I'm still using a SAB. I just happened to have extra substrate and decided I would like to try a couple for fun.
I have a lot more reading to do. One step at a time in this hobby for me.

There is a great way to hang a pretty full bag on a hook using a knot and a tie wrap so yes

Bags can be done pretty easily in a SAB, to accommodate for the height of the bags I use two tall tubs stacked, one upside down on top of the other secured with tape.
