Who is a good supplier (pricewise) for tie wrap mounts. Also, what kind of mounts do you guys prefer? I prefer the ones that screw down instead of the sticky backs.

I prefer screws also but I have both. The sticky backed ones come in handy sometimes like under desks etc. On backboards it's always screws.

Me three. There's a place for adhesive mounts, but I feel they should be used sparingly.

I use both...the adhesive ones are nice for inside sound racks. That's the only place I use them. For the screw mount ones, I like Panduit LPMS.

I always use the screw down on vertical surfaces, but agree with Hal and Sam, that the sticky-backs can be useful in certain situations.
We get ours at Graybar, fwiw.

I've always been very happy with Premier (Sprint North Supply's house brand) cable ties and mounts. They are now sold under the Embarq Logistics name by Eltas Direct or Womack Electrical Supply. Premier's ties/mounts are actually made by Tyton/Hellerman. I've never trusted the adhesive mounts.

The ahesive backed ones with a screw hole cover all the bases, and are especially handy when you are trying to mount in an awkward place. Peel, Stick, Screw.  John C.

John C. exactly ,its like the adhesive tape on a biscuit jack or surface mount box , use it to hold it in place while your securing it with a screw

We just put a couple of staples in the middle of the tie wrap to secure wires to the board. Works great, hold well, and cost less.
