do the bands break easily?

They seem to break easier than other bands I have bought but not terribly worse

Mine did not break, but I actually only tried piercing them the first time I made eggs in this. Since then I have left them intact and they have been fine.

I only had leaking once, when one of the bands came loose and the top came off. You have to periodically buy new bands so they don't get stretched out, they are cheap so it's not a big deal.

I can only say that my wife is having the same problem, with one original band and two replacement bands (from this supplier) broken so far. To me this would suggest that it is a poor quality design since two different suppliers can't make a band that will last even with light duty usage.

I, too, have trouble with the bands. I think I need to lower my evaluation stars on the product. Not only do the bands come off, they split. I'm sorry I can't help you.

We've had one cord snap in the 13 months we've owned ours, (constant use by my autistic son). Unlike the metal springs that fly off and can hurt, the band stayed attached to the plastic anchor after breaking. Jumping is not noticeably affected by the broken band as there are 29 others.

yes, so far they have hold up through all the stretching my granddaughter has done. At times she has like 6 strands and pulling from the bottoms to complete her masterpiece. I sometimes think its NOT going hold and it does. I think like all rubber bands they just wear out due to old age and wear and tear......hope this help ....I'm glad I got it!

I personally have had no issues with durability. Mine have been smacked around a lot and they show no sign of breakage. They feel just as good as I first got them even after the few weeks of use. The metal feels sturdy as well.

No......You can cut the band, and replace with a new one.......But they are single use.

Hello, the bands from Black mountain have clips on them and attach to the d-rings on the handles. The guys from Black Mountain are great and will replace broken bands for free for life. I would get the whole set to start with. Thanks

I bought 2 sets of these bands for 2 of my nieces, they loved them. They have had no problems what's so ever. The cost of these bands in the stores it's outrageous, I really got my money's worth. It is a good purchase.

We have not had any problems with these breaking easily like some others I have purchased.

Yes they can, pretty sturdy so they can be reused until they crack or get a hole, which doesn't happen easily. Like a rubber band, they will crack with time though.

I'm not sure. I would think that if you did, that over time the bands would eventually dry out and break. They are definitely worth buying. Maybe you can purchase 2 sets and try one in water. Good luck!

They are not easily broken, but everything will bread if handled by rough hands. My grandson is autistic and has not broken them yet.

the bands that are actually true silicone don't break like the rubber ones do. Unfortunately these bands are just plain rubber that do not last. I am wearing a bracelet my son made me over 4 months ago from the bands that came with the loom they were real silicone bands that show no wear at all.
