I really like these rubber bands because I need lots of sizes from quite small to larger. No disappointment here! There's also very colorful which I prefer to the khaki brown bands! They're strong tight and a great value in the Staples' brand tradition. I'd recommend them to anyone!
It's hard to say much about a good-quality rubber band that does the job. You can say a lot if the rubber band is stiff and/or breaks easily. Because then you can complain all you want that the product is defective or inefficient. Or not worth the money you paid for it. But I can't say any of this. Because these rubber bands meet my needs perfectly. Not only did I get what I paid for; a good quality rubber band that was not brittle it also came in the wide variety of colors and shapes I needed.
Great value for one of those office and household necessities. Always good to have around - old ones get brittle and break so spring for a fresh batch and don't be disappointed with stuff falling apart.
I have a 3.23 Lbs rubber band ball that I have been working on on/off for the past 2 1/2 years some of the rubber bands are not as big as I would of liked but I just take them and stick them under other rubber bands or tie them together making a rope like chain that I stretch out and wrap around the rubber band ball. If you would like to make a rubber band ball of your own might I suggest using some Old English furniture polish on a rag every now and than to help keep the outer layer of the rubber band ball from drying out.
