Clear Plastic Tubes - 3-Inch-Long Round Tubes, 9/16 Inches in Diameter - Flat Caps - Use for Beads, Bath Salts, Wedding & Party Favors, Home or Office Storage - Bag of 25

I wanted tubes without hanging devices so I could store them in plastic photo holder flat plastic bins (20 bins to a larger container with handle). These worked great and now I can continue storing my beads grouped easily by color.

Great quality

These tubes are perfect for storing the beads I buy in bulk for my bead weaving and jewelry making projects. So much easier to store, sort and use for me than the plastic bags the beads are sometimes sold with. The caps fit securely which is great. I love them and will be buying more.

Arrived promptly but for some reason, about half the caps were not on the tubes in the package. Being incredibly lightweight, they flew out all over the table and floor when I opened the package. Scared the cat but led to an enjoyable half hour on my hands and knees trying to retrieve them (one’s still missing). Might be a good game for a bored kid: some of the caps really caught some distance! The tubes themselves feel flimsy, but they do hold 10 grams of size 11 seed beads. Although they fit my purpose, they’re not a pleasure to handle and I’m not likely to buy them again. I have other Beadsmith containers that are better made.

I have ordered these tubes more than once for my beading, I have got orders which were all intact and at other times I get an order where all the caps were not there.

I don't know what all got put into these vials. I know for sure none of them ended up with beads in them. I set them out for amateur cartographers and anthropologists and naturalists to collect samples when we were doing some weird art thing on a sunny day. I could figure out what is in the ones that were filled and returned but I won't. One of them has what is definitely plant matter. Probably some wild mower waste, but it could be drugs. It's probably not drugs. Who's going to waste their pot on a weird art project? No one. That's who. There are some of these that definitely have bugs in them, intentionally or unintentionally. I can't bring myself to look closely at the death of these innocent insects, nor do I want to think about why somebody would kill for art like this. It is despicable. But what you want to know is how they work? Well, nothing has escaped from these securely stoppered vials since the day of. What more can I ask?

There were only 8 caps in the bag of 25 tubes.

As described. Perfect.
