BongoTies® ALL BLUE Bongo Ties A5-01-B ~ 10 Pack

Obviously to make the product more durable they're using thicker materials and with less stretch than expected for the sizes. Simply they're very difficult to put on, and usually require 3 hands...rather 2 hands for the bongo and an arm, table, or other brace off point for the thing you're trying to wrap. Because they don't have much stretch they have limited usage. The limited stretch really minimizes the diameters where these are functionally useful. The bongo is great...and durability will probably be lasting - but I'm finding few things to test them on, and they often remain in the bag and I use rubber bands...because the stretch and retention is better. Also a rubber band can be 'bogo'ized with a small bit of wood too. This EPDM may last the ages but if I cannot get them around what I need to easily I'll move on to things that work better.

I use these for anthying you'd use a heavy duty rubber band for and the only issue I have with them is that they tend to "walk away" with people and projects to never return. Harrumph.

I couldn’t live without these. Wrapping cables. Securing straps. I keep them on boat. In the car. 100 and 1 uses. They tend to dry out when left in a hot place or after many years of use.

These are great for wires nothing else bigger I need longer ones

I haven't used them much; they are smaller than I expected and I have other types of ties such as Velcro. These are easier to attach and more usable than cloth/Velcro because these are waterproof and stretchy.
