Yes, everything I buy are the outdoor/UV ties. There is a small specification on the upper right of the package. You'd think they'd make it more obvious.

For handyman stuff, Harbor Freight is fine. Took up the 1970's tile and replace throughout the bathrooms., kitchen ,dining area. Picked up a heavy tile saw for 3 days Rental of a roughly used one from Home Depot. Took me far longer than the three days, worked like a charm. Now if I was a professional tile setter I would have gotten a Dewalt, etc, but for the occasional use, just fine.

I would have loved to get a job there. The smell of Chinese rubber and an endless line of irate customers returning broken tools with bandaged hands.
