I bought these to help with the task of keeping items neat and to reuse over and over again. Sure I expected a few to snap they are rubber bands but I only get a single use out of them. I was hoping for at least 4 uses in the way I am putting them around the items. Alas not so much. Many just snap all have deformed to being unusable on the second attempts to recycle. The other factor was they are too big for what I'm using them for so how they deform so much so quick and still do not have the taught-ness I really require is perplexing. Not all rubber bands are created equally.
This product is high quality and does the job for which it is needed! There is nothing worse than a rubber band that breaks when you wrap it around an item you want to hold together!

Rubber bands used for counting money
on February 12, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
I volunteer at a church to count money. We count out piles of same denomination bills into piles of 25. We band they with the rubber bands. They are then recounted by another person who then combines them into bands of 50 which are then sent to the bank. It is easier for recounting if you only have to count 25 instead of 50.
