[Andrew]

Anyone got any ideas of uses for these?

Ive got a dozen in the workshop all ready as cable tidies, any other uses?

They are really handy for dispensing MIG wire

I have loads with rolled up electric fencing rope on, the cordless drill winder attachment thingymypurpose ended badly.

They're great for making shelf space.




Or they would be if you'd just throw them out.
NB - I'm just as bad for hoarding tat 'just in case'.

There like bale wrap tubes, you find a use for an odd one just not the heaps that you have

If you're using that amount would it not be cheaper to get it in the really big rolls that come in a cardboard tube on a pallet? Something like 1t rolls I guess, although it is a long time since I was in the factory?

Are the rolls made from HDPE, if so , with heat they can be pressed into usefull shapes

Look at the dinghy world. I've a couple that hold anchor line & other rope things. Just what's needed when you need to tidy a line & know they're useful. It's the 'knowing they're useful' is the hard bit

Use a few to wind up electric fence wire. Too tight to buy fancy reels
