Is the loom made of the very brittle plastic one customer indicated that breaks eailsely

I have used it about twenty times. It seems fragile. I am guessing it would break with out much effort like most plastic. I am an adult and I bought it for myself. It does not turn easily and I have been concerned about the plastic gears and whether they will hold up. I am skeptical about how long it would last with a kid using this vigorously.

My kids love ours. It is kinda of difficult for anyone under ten, so parent may need to assist. It's not cheap plastic. I was happy with the purchase. You can buy string from a craft store, too, just fyi :)

I think the loom is sturdy and not brittle. My 8 year old granddaughter loves it.

I tried to open it and the latch would not move at all, after a few minutes it broke off. The outer shell feels and appears to be plastic.

no, not at all. I've had one I've used for five years. The plastic seems a bit more flexible, and doesn't seem to crack.

Yes from what I could see. Cloth and plastic seem to be what it is made of. By the way it is a wonderful toy for the price.

Nope! Even the wings, which have been fragile in my opinion on earlier gunpla, are made up of some pretty sturdy plastic!

yes, but have to be gentle because it breaks easy.. Material is very cheap.

I don't think so. For $10, if it breaks just get a new one. This one is metal and more durable than the previous plastic one. It works great.

It depends on the gauge of the loom. This particular loom handles 1 strand of worsted just fine.

I honestly do not recall the exact number. I would guess 20-30? I will say though, this loom did break within a week of receiving it.

No and it broke. The needle snapped off and there are no replacements. If you are doing clothing tags on thin fabric it should be fine

my DIY colorful looms broke. while I have heard a couple of times that the rainbow loom broke. I have heard and seen comments about the diy breaking. In the long run it might be better to save up for the rainbow loom kit. Just be careful of the counterfeit loom dealers. One way to check if it is the real rainbow loom is to look for the trademark sign. If you get a rainbow loom and there isn't a trademark and "patent pending" on the bottom of all the plastic pieces, than it is fake.

Yes, but you'll need to find another one before it breaks. Temporary plastic

No, the majority of this gun is a hard plastic material. I do not know what type of plastic but it wont break on you. So far its held up very well and is very effective.

I don't think so. At least the ones I got look just like the ones in the fabric stores, and not one of them has broken yet. And, I am ashamed to say, I am pretty hard on my tools. TMG

It comes with 3 clear plastic looms. The looms can come apart. There are 4 plastic pieces that hold the 3 pieces together so you can have the ends of the loom straight across from each other or have the middle piece out further than the end pieces. All three looms are the same kind.

No. I've had it break twice. Two different chairs at the same spot. It's a very comfy chair. However the plastic used is weak and breaks with use.

No- its not brittle at all. My 11 year old got it last Christmas & used all year!
