Trash Bags not what I thought they would be.

These bags feel thin and flimsy. I tried to dump my shredded paper into one of the bags and got a huge rip down one side and put the torn bag inside another one so the shredding wouldn't get everywhere. I can only imagine pulling the bag out of a trash can. I thought they would be thicker and stronger. Not worth the price.
I use them in an auto repair facility for both garbage and recycling and they have served thier purpose with out fail. Cardboard or car parts have not punctured the bag. I have purchased again!
These bags don't break but don't cost an arm and a leg like the really thick ones. Just right in strength. When you can get them on sale they are the best deal out there. I only gave 4 stars because you need a coupon to get them at the best price.
It's important when searching for large capacity trash bags to investigate the thickness - this was described as: "Strength: X-Heavy good for industrial waste including sharp heavy or wet objects; .95 mil thickness; Maximum puncture- and tear- resistance" These arrived in a box clearly marked 'Can Liners' - and are very flimsy.... I'm searching my home for some wet sharp heavy industrial waste objects to test if it truly does exhibit 'maximum puncture and tear resistance'. My guess is probably not..... but: as a can liner it fits - so I guess I'll be loading the entire trash can into my trunk the next time I go to the recycling center.... not a chance in the world that I'm gonna'try to lift ANY THING in these bags....
