AllianceRubber Sterling® Rubber Bands, No. 64, 1 lb, Box Of 380

This is my second time purchasing these rubber bands. They are good quality and last a long time. The price is also very reasonable.

Who would ever write a review about the common rubber band? An office supply geek? A postal worker who is sick of seeing them? Someone with too little to occupy their lives? I don't know but in my case, it's because I don't use them as rubber bands but rather the bands to attach removable high wings on radio controlled aircraft trainers.These trainer type aircraft come with wings which are held on by elastic or rubber bands so that they are easy to remove and perhaps a bit more "flexible" in a crash. Now, since they are holding on the actual wing, things like strength, durability, flexibility are all important as you really don't want to lose your wing while in flight. Not only do these meet the necessary criteria better than anything I've tried, they are also a nice and bright fluorescent orange color.Why is color important? Well, sometimes things come off a model airplane while it is in flight. Sometimes it's important things like propellers and you will know immediately that something has gone drastically wrong, even as you run to order repair parts for your airplane. However, sometimes it is one of these rubber bands breaking loose (you use more than one per side for this reason) but all you can see with you plane 200 feet in the air is "something" falling out of the sky that shouldn't be. Well, with the bright orange, it's fairly easy to identify the falling object as a broken rubber band and thus no need to panic (unless you didn't double strap in which case you too are running to order repair parts and perhaps reconsidering the amount of adult beverages you consume on a regular basis).So yes, it's a dumb little rubber band that we all take for granted BUT, if you're going to buy rubber bands for whatever reason, you might as well buy the best on the market and get them in a really cool color. Hey, the color will make it easy to identify the nefarious rubber band thieves that inhabit every office and you'll be able to bring the office supply police down on them. And if you are dumb enough to waste 100's of dollars crashing radio controlled aircraft (like me), you'll appreciate these particular bands. If you have other uses for them which cannot be discussed on a family friendly site like Amazon, please keep them to yourself and consider counseling.

We love using these large rubber bands for daily sheets and reconciliation. Non-latex means longer lasting. Great price if you have the time to wait!

I was pleasantly surprised. I like the color and they are perfect for my needs.

Smaller bag would be better

I usually get the # 64 rubber bands, called "Postal Size". These Alliance non-rubber bands are just the same in size, and feel about the same. They stretch just a tad farther and easier than the other #64 rubber bands I have bought, but otherwise seem just the same. Except, of course, for their distinctive burnt orange color. The color is so you can tell they are made of synthetic rubber, so they won't affect latex allergies. Thanks Ladies. I just got them, so I can't say how durable they are, but they feel good and all of them seem uniform. And I'm getting used to the color, but then, I'm an Astros fan.

Big box for a small price! I will never need to go searching for a rubber band again. These are strong, the perfect size, colour makes them easy to find, great price and fast delivery. Definitely recommend.

I ordered these rubber bands because I could not find a one-size large rubber band in the stores (they either were small or were mixed). The box was packed with the bands (they practically burst out when I opened the box). I grabbed a handful and immediately started to organize my work area (I do electronics and have a lot of wires running all over the place).The bands worked great on taming my tangled wires, grouping different small boxes, small books, pens and pencils, and other things that were taking over my desk. In the kitchen I use them to close a bag of chips, cracker boxes, hold lids on leftover containers and so much more. I brought a handful to work to help de-clutter there as well. I use them in the shop to tame wild extension cords and boxes of nails that seem to fall and spill nails everywhere when I walk into the shop.These are strong enough to hold together things like a spool of 12-gauge wire, a stack of screwdrivers, and on and on. I have only had one break on me and that was because the stack of metal pieces had a sharp edge and cut the band.I plan on ordering more when these run out, but no matter how many I use, the box just keeps on delivering another handful.
