how are these meant to be used? I don't think they are intended to be used as rubber bands. do you wrap the rounded end over the arrow to hold it?

I twist them once or twice around the bag and then wrap it around the arrow. I haven't really figured how else to use them.

They keep your icing from coming out on the top of the bag. Once we had them can't live without without them.

Yes, you wrap the end of the circle around the arrow and pull the arrow tight. Kind of like a ponytail holder on a piping bag :-)

Read the responses. But I must add that I use the clip on the One and attach to my watch. It may look "strange" but most that comment say, " Cool, never thought of that". Note that I have a Velcro wristband. Not sure if it work on traditional bands.

With the hand straps attached the bands are 5 feet long. So you can use it by one end in each hand and use your foot as the attachment point, meaning the band goes under your foot and your stretch the ends with your hands. This is pretty common and will work fine for you. You can also use them by attaching one end to something stationary that will hold the force you apply to it. I use mine by attaching one end to my very heavy elliptical machine. To get more resistance just add more bands together. Hope this helps.

You have to wrap them around a strong point of what you're strapping down by putting one end of strap through the opposite loop so it tightens. Then you use rachet straps from the loop to the vehicle. Basically these are used so you dont put metal hook from rachet strap directly to item.

I would say not. These are large very heavy rubber bands that are meant to hold the legs together.

There are rubber covers on the ends and the ends bend sideways. Not a problem.

These are wonderful cooking bands. They can be reusable if washed completely. Rubber bands are more stretchy, inexpensive and not to be used with food products.

Hi, MittI do not have the bands. They were a gift for my girlfriend. I can ask her. I reckon one way is to tie a knot in them. Watching the P90X videos, they do two things: stand farther away if you have the band attached to a doorway, etc., or if standing on the band to do curls, etc., adjust the amount of the loop on the floor under your foot. Someone said that you can pull the band through the handle and there is a round thing in the handle that will hold it. This does not quite make sense to me. As I recall, there is a thing in the end of the rubber band that holds it in place. I am so sorry that I do not have more info for you, Mitt.ron Hi, MittI do not have the bands.

I used them to hold down rubber mulch mat and they worked well. I would think they would hold a tree ring too. they are metal and sturdy.

I use the door attachment to use them. Just put the circular foam part inside an open door by the hinge and then string the loop outside the door and close it. Then you just have to string the bands through it.

I have used them for securing bicycles to a bicycle rack. I would speculate, maybe the diameter of your index finger. Maybe one of the smaller sizes offered by Amazon would serve you better.

They are pretty flexible, but I wouldn't flex it all the way to a circle. It might initially work, but then start splitting. At most, I would only bend it enough to make the ends meet, which would make a tear drop shape.

insert the straps into the buckle in the opposite way that you are doing it. i know it seems counter-intuitive - i had the exact same problem! so basically, you are inserting the strap through the "back" side of the buckle (the extra strap will come out like a tongue through a dragon's teeth). once you do that, when the buckle clamps, it will hold. these are really super rings, easy on the hands and durable (i have had them outside all summer). but they really should include some visual instructions. hope this helps!

These bands are uncovered, VERY strong, VERY large rubber bands. They are not covered, but very useful for a variety of things. I especially like them keeping my garbage bags, as shown in the illustration, from crumpling back into the pail.

Not sure about your problem exactly, but I do know that these bands are not made very well at all. Mine lasted one day, so I'll bet this is a pretty common problem with it stretching out of shape.

Good news, they're both wrong! The bands will not stretch to 4" without breaking but they will fit a 2 3/4" rolling pin perfectly so you're good to go.

No, if kept very well it shouldnt be a problem, just dont force the rubber bands to streth to hard.
