Acco Brand 72155 Rubber Band Ball, Approximately 270 Rubber Bands, Assorted

I don't use rubber bands often but when I do I never seem to have any. I got this as something to just put on my desk so it comes in handy when I need one. With the box saying things like "at least 270 bands" and "at least 5.6 oz" I'm not sure how accurate I can be for the one anyone else would get but this one is about the size of a baseball and actually has some bounce to it. To me the price was fair considering it doubles as a stress ball and a supply of rubber bands.

I love how much space this saves me in my junk drawer! I used all the rubber bands and liked the idea of having a rubber band ball so much I ordered a second one!

I love these rubber band balls. Someone gave me one years ago, and I thought it was a strange gift, but it’s really a wonderful gift for yourself or someone else. There are so many rubber bands On the ball, it lasts for years. And, of course, to me, the best part is, they are all in one place.

Working at my office means I do not have time to keep looking for office utensils, so as better organized my desk as sooner I find my work done. I find this rubber ball very useful and fun. I keep using it and using it and the fact is it does not end! isnt'this a great fun fact? I keep it close to my envelopes and paper work since I need rubbers to set them. Different colors, different topics, or if I do not want to complicate my way, I just chose a random color. I also play with it to kill some thinking time. It works.

I love these rubber band balls and will continue to buy them.The only issue I have is when you're about 3/4 finished with the ball, the bands all sort of fall apart and no longer a ball. I realize it's technically hard to manufacture and spin the smaller portion of the ball, but believe I had about 75 or more rubber bands that fell apart.That said - I just purchased 2 more and even with that issue (or maybe some balls are made differently) I find it worth it.Positives Love:You can find the rubber bands easily on your desk.Best attribute: Keeps things neatEasy to remove a band to use.The quality of the bands - very good.Amazonprime price point at about five dollars is the best price I've found so far.TBD: Are some brands better than others?This is the only brand I've used or bought because of the quantity of bands per ball.It appears to be the largest or the most bands per ball I've found so far.It's about the size of a small baseball or between a tennis ball and baseball, or the size of an orange. I wouldn't mind finding one slightly bigger as I ran through the rubber bands quickly. (At least the ones that stayed on the ball, before it sort of fell apart near the core.)I also wouldn't mind a rubber band ball that had slightly bigger bands, say the size the mailman typically uses.But, these are good quality, and I haven't had one break on me yet. These won't fit around file folders very well. They are a little bit too small, and your papers would end up bending the papers or a couple of file folders into themselves. You can use them around small boxes (say jewelry or watch boxes and a bit larger) or several medicine bottles, handful or more of staple boxes, or banding together several rolls of wrapping paper. Many uses!And it's fun to play with....if you're into a game of toss with an officemate. Perhaps someone could weave a goal basket out of paper clips or binder clips to throw the ball through, but would probably result in a tangled mess, and too time consuming if you actually use those paperclips.I'll be purchasing again when I run out.

If you haven't had one of these... you're missing out. Instead of a container or drawer full of loose rubber bands - you have an easy to use 'ball' of rubber bands. It's brilliant. I purchased one about 4 years ago.. just ran out - so this is a replacement. Perfect.

This is the second one I’ve ordered - used all the bands of the first ball. Much easier than digging thru a plastic band to get a rubber band out.

I love the different colors of rubber bands all the same size durable
