Cable management

Hi all just wondering what you guys are using to keep test leads ect neat and tidy I've been using velcro cable ties but would like something neater as I recieved my new diag cart today

Wow! Nice trolley!
What was that couple hundred quid?
Like you I use velcro ties, there intended use is for green fingered potters which you can buy for a few quid and get a nice long roll of the stuff you can cut to size.

Other than that I have a boom over my diag trolley so can leave the longer scope cables hanging straight ready for use

Where did you purchase the boom from if you don't mind

I've had mine a few years after I saw Frank Massey using one on a series of training dvd's i bought once upon a time.
At the time they weren't readily available (not that I could find anyway)
So I ended up making one.
Used the remains of a chrome clothes hanger frame.
The main support had a nice 90° curve in it so was perfect
Drilled through it and the leg of my bluepoint trolley and bolted together
Been going strong ever since.

Looks Great , I have 3 diag carts & not been fully happy with any !! First one made up from a MAC trolly & fitted frame & tv . But always ended up kneeling down to use or stand up & get back ache !! Next one was a old Emisions cart . use for remapping only . & now the new Diagnostic box is Great for all the storage pc & printer in bottom scope in side panel . fold away screen ect but with the mouse & keyboard in the top recess your arm aches !! I put some water pipe foam lagging on the Lip but still a problem !!! So aways a chal think I would be best to use the lid for keyboard ect & put screen up on a poll like yours Do like how you got 2 screens
