I'm replacing the RG59 cables outside that were here when my parents moved here in 1992 with some 50FT quad-shielded RG6 cables.  Since I can't reuse the mounts from the RG59 cables the way they are installed, I'd like to use ones like FiOS used to hook up their RG6 to other parts of the house(they re-used the 1992 RG59 for existing routes) and they look like this:

The way they work is to pierce into the shackles on the side of the wall and it runs right underneath them.  Does anyone know where I can find these?

I know where I would go, but not sure if you guys have a store called Graybar out there. They sell everything and anything to do with cables.

Their website sucks monkeyballs. I tried to search for them but didn't see anything similar.

I know if you walked in there  with one of them, they'd find them for you.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Radio Shack is overpriced.  Stick with Home Depot.

Interesting clips.  How do you attach them outdoors?  No Nails?

My fingers are soooooo raw from installing cables for hours into splitters and walls and stuff.  I guess the rubber gloves helped, had to wear them because the coaxial cables often shocked me when I touched them.  Same thing happens when I touch the cable box.

We don't have them or Fry's over here unfortunately.  Cool local computer stores don't exist in this area, there's a tiny one about 10 minutes away but they're like a mom and pop kind of place and they overprice the crap out of everything and have bad greedy service.  In my much much dumber days I bought an IDE cable for 20$ from them.

The best even remotely local place Micro Center which is 45 minutes away, although they do have better prices than Newegg or Tigerdirect

You can see the design in the 2nd pic, the bottom part cups and shelves the cable and then the top part penetrates into the shingles on the wall until the hook on the bottom part touches the end of the shingle.  I you look closely at the wall on the 2nd pic you can just barely see the cable underneath a shingle and possibly one or two of the clips in action as well.
