A new and improved cable tie includes a core cable tie having a multi-slot head and a set of attachments that are not integrally formed with the core cable tie. A user can combine one or more attachments with a core cable tie to form a cable tie assembly. As such, a core cable tie can be modified with one or more attachments that are specific to a desired capability or configuration. This results in improved strength and cost savings in that the same core cable tie can be used for multiple applications. The user only adds attachments, such as finger or hand pulls, based on the needs of a specific situation.
