They're 304 stainless, they don't rust unless you put like bleach on them or something.
Outdoor applications as others have said. Used them to put up a temporary tarp during the summer. They last so well I could put an end into the clasp to release them and reuse them next year.

I don't see many uses for this product. Maybe in extreme heat environments? Even in engines, they still use plastic. Just get plastic ties, they have a stronger hold because of the teeth and they don't rust. Some good quality thick plastic ties beat these any day.
For outdoor applications, these are what you'll wanna use. Plastic won't hold up in the sun.

Yeah my ISP installers keep slapping up the plastic zippys on the wires that run along the side of the house that are exposed to the elements and they're constantly snapping off and sprinkling down.
I think getting these is the way to go. Does anyone know if they are reusable (like can you unlock them after they've been locked)?

What's the best way to remove these? I'm thinking aviation snips?
They are technically removable. If you use the tail end of another tie you can slip it in the ball lock mechanism to release it. It's a bit fiddly to do so I would not recommend if you need to release them regularly.
