These rubberbands are the perfect size for what I need. I use them for holding certain products together when packaged for shipping. The only thing that bothers me, is that a high percentage of the rubberbands seem to be already broken into little strings...or they are just about to break, so if you use them for anything at all..even begin to stretch them, they bust and are useless. I don't understand why so many rubberbands in the pound are broken or useless, but nevertheless, I buy them because I don't want to waste my money on anything more expensive, and they are the perfect size. Obviously in a huge bag, there are going to be plenty that are working as they should. I just wish I could save all the little scraps they sell me as part of the "pound" of rubberbands, and turn them in for a working rubberband :P

Last ones I bought from Staples would break the first use about 30% of time - seemed dry. I buy all such products at Staples, thought I'd try one more time, these seem "stretchier" so there's hope. My concern?Never had bad rubber bands before, and never had bad Pentel pens before (maybe a dozen worked one day, some I had time to return - clearly defective product as ink supply was fine.

The ancient rubber bands at work are stiff or weak - they break and snap my hands. I bought new ones. For me. Everyone else can get their hands snapped. :)

My wife uses these rubber bands to bind the mail that is going to one address. She is a contract mail carrier for the USPS. I usually buy 5-8 1lb bags to last her a couple months each time. The last 2 times that I purchased them, there was only one bag in the store. This means I have to go more often or purchase from Office Depot.
