Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for bundling or securing cording such as common electrical lines extending from various tools such as hand tools or the like. The apparatus includes a base member with a C-shaped clip member attached thereto. A strap is secured to the base member and extends outwardly through a loop to form a cording securement zone to allow cording to extend axially therethrough. The main strap can extend again toward the base member through a cinching slot defined in the C-shaped clip member and is detachably securable with respect to the base to hold the strap in position extending through the cinching slot to bundle the cording extending through the cording securement zone.
