A job in Tempe made me stop using those cheap plastic wire clips

I was finishing a panel at a small office building there, and the Arizona heat had made the plastic so brittle that a whole run of sensor wire just fell out of the wall a month later (the client was not happy, obviously). I switched to using metal staples with the plastic guard, and haven't had a single callback since. What's your go-to for securing wire in hot or cold spots?

Ever notice how heat just ruins cheap stuff?

Ugh, my cheap flip-flops turned into pancakes last summer.

My cheap plastic patio chairs melted into puddles last July in Phoenix.
