They look to be pretty cheap on Ebay.  Anything that helps keep the wiring
in line is useful.  I saw an old "This Old House" today where they explored
the bowels of a very high end home.  Six miles of wire of all sorts ended up
in the wire closet in the basement.  It was an 80 dimmer Centralite-sort of
setup.  I've never seen so much wire in a residence.
