PSA: Don't buy a cheap $20 cable comb kit on Amazon like I did

I spent $20 on a 12-pack of those plastic cable combs from some brand called CompuCable. First one snapped after the first zip tie on my Seasonic power supply cables. Ended up tossing the whole kit and buying a set of CableMod combs for $35 instead. Anyone else had combs just break on you during a build?

A $20 kit snapped on the first zip tie?

I read a review on Amazon last week where someone had the exact same problem with that kit, so it might be a design flaw. Troyjackson, I would check if the zip ties are the right thickness for the slots because a loose fit can cause them to snap under tension. Otherwise, maybe try a different brand with metal buckles instead of all plastic.
