Need help! I'm running some cables in our coach, and just discovered I've exhausted my supply of these EXTREMELY handy clips. I used to have a whole sack of them in different sizes and colors, but now I'm down to one single example. The base is self-adhesive, about 1.25" x 0.50", and the cable hole (with clip closed) is about 3/8" i.d. I've looked everywhere I can think of (local big box stores, Amazon, eBay, etc) without success. I don't even know exactly what to call them...
If you've ever run across these anywhere, I would really appreciate a lead!
Google Kwik Klips Richco and see if that's what they are.

I had some similar clips which I found really handy, however, after a year or so they became brittle and would easily snap. Mine may have been low quality but I can't recall where I got them. Probably get what you pay for.

Thanks to all for the leads! The 2nd link in Barry's reply looks very close to my example. Unfortunately, I don't really need 1000 of them. :o
The "Kwik Clips" are similar in shape and purpose, and would work OK, so if I don't find anything better I'll try those.
My stash of old plastic clips have been in my tool kit for probably 30-40 years, and still function perfectly in all respects. I always thought it was really elegant the way they snapped open and closed so easily, and held so well...a very clever design.
They really don't build stuff like they used to...sad.
Try Fastenal or Grainger, they may have those.

Got some similar at Lowes, they wouldn't stick to anything, including each other. May have been old adhesive.
We often find items that we don't know the exact name from a general name search "cable clip", "cable clamp", etc. What works great is Google, then click IMAGES. Amazing that we can search by picture.
Found a bunch using Barry's image approach on Goggle, all different prices, cool way to search.
