At work we have a long roll of the metal strap and clips seperate, you cut to length and then clip up. Other then that a cable tie is ok, but i used
to hold the tie with pliers and then use screw driver to tighten it - or buy the cable tie ratchet pliers.

Most decent motorfactors sell the metal cable ties for this purpose.
