Rubber bands that did nto break
on July 23, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This product (rubber bands) was used at a carnival for under privileged children to hold a plastic bag onto a plastic cup. The product (rubber band) held tight. The cup was filled with dirt that the children used to plant seeds in. To avoid them spilling the dirt on their way home a plastic bag needed to be secured to the cup. I had to guess what size rubber band to use and I guessed well … they worked perfectly. I was pleased that they did not break and therefore spill dirt everywhere. I believe the children's parents were also glad.
These rubber bands were everything I wanted in a super strong large rubber band. I actually bought them to use as sling shot bands but I've also used them to keep papers together and keep my tools together. These bands are strong and I found that they will work very well for all the purposes I want to use them for. I work in an Apple Orchard and I even use the bands to hold the apple branches in the manner that I need them to. They are fantastic. I suggest to each of you that are interested in these #84 Economy Rubber Bands that you run right down to Staples and buy yourself a bag.
Our local Operation Christmas Child team uses these rubber bands to make up bundles of 40-50 half sheets of copy paper to put in the shoeboxes that we send to children around the world. With the quantity we need 11 000 we would like to be able to get rubber bands at a lower price and could even use lighter weight ones if you carried them. On the other hand the quality of these rubber bands is good and we appreciate that they are consistent. It would help if you had the 1 lb. bags in stock more often.
I love these rubber bands. They are idle for any job I have going at any particular time. They are not too small or too big for what I have needed them for.
