Best wiring covering for the buck?

I bought a bunch of the Tech Flex from the Ebay seller the OP mentioned. The loom is really easy to work with, just make sure you cut it with something hot like a soldering iron.
I bought enough to do the engine harness and all the other harnesses under the hood.
20' of 1/8" - Didn't use any of this size. It's literally only large enough to fit a single wire. Don't bother.
20' of 1/4" - I used all but about a foot.
20' of 1/2" - I have about 5' left
20' of 3/4" - I have about 10' left
10' of 1" - I only used about 2' toward the back of the harness where it gets real thick.
HERE'S a shot of it installed.

After almost a year and about 5K miles it still looks brand new.

How convenient. Was going to do a search on this and here it is on first page.
Someone mentioned a tool. This place sells a few different sizes.

If you've never used the TechFlex, the tool is most definitely NOT necessary.
And just an FYI, the Ebay seller is roughly 1/4 the price if you're buying by the foot. no affiliation. http://stores.ebay.com/FURRYLETTERS

I didnt see it mentioned, but I buy my corrugated loom at Waytek. good prices, and they also have alot of OEM style clips ect. It is much better quality than the part stores, and they sell a couple of different temp ratings. They also have the braided loom but I havent tried it.
