i have been using rubber band number 117 for over 20years. this size u=is perfect for putting around file folders as it keeps them from spilling out everything and then everything is out of order regarding filing by date forward.they are also very good at keeping certain folders together. try them and you will start using them in the future. sometimes the rubber bands are cut by the edge of the folder but you get a lot of use out of each rubber band prior to it breaking you can always tie a knot in the one that breaks until you get back to the office to get a new one.

They are the size I need but just a little thick. I give them a 5 star because for the documents I bind they work perfectly

Great value

I use these large diameter rubber bands to bundle clothing or other items I am donating to outreach organizations. Have even used them to loop "shoes" together so the "matching shoe" doesn't get lost from its partner if they get tossed into a bin with lots of other similar sized units. Just wish they had a different color. . . . Several years ago I came across a fair sized bundle -maybe a 100??? - and the bundle included dark purple bright pink and teal blue! Those were sharp looking and attracted attention; made the "almost like new - gift items" more appealing. Unfortunately I have never again found colored ones in this large size - at that original price point! I can still find the tri-color in small packages but the price-tag is ridiculous - so I'm stuck with the basic khaki/mustard tone variety. Functionally great - just no "zing" of appeal to them.

I needed larger than average elastics for fabric bolts. They are great

Great rubberbands

These bands work great for wrapping around blueprints or a large stack of papers. They seem to last quite awhile and don't get brittle like other ones I have purchased.
