This product was easily available as both as an in store and an on line purchase. The bag was easy to open and reseals tightly and compactly for ease of storage. There are easily more than a thousand bands in the one pound bag which is quite convenient given that I use roughly two hundred in a week's time. The size is usable for than one job and the elasticity is quite good allowing the product to be very versatile in it's application on various sized and shaped items. This is an item I recommend.
