Are these easy to use? I don't have much strength, so that concerns me a bit.

Yes, they're easy to use. I whldnt think you'd have much issue. Of course, the stronger you are going to get more air out of the bag.

I think it's more a matter of flexibility than strength - I usually lay it flat on the ground and then roll them - so the pressure is coming more from body weight than strength. Stepping on them might be fairly effective as well. So I think the issue is not so much arm/hand strength, as the flexibility to put something on the floor and kneel on it, or step on it, or place a suitcase on it and sit on the suitcase.

Yes, they are. You put 3 sweaters and a couple of scarves for example. You zip it well. Standing at your table or any other flat surface like your kitchen counter, start rolling it from top to bottom, applying some strength. That's it. Air will come from the bottom and not back in. You may have to apply some pressure when rolling but not that much. I use them a lot to organize clothes and when I travel.

I found them easy when I put them on the floor, began to roll them and pushed my knee into the bag if I really wanted to ensure I got most the air out. I think they are easy and worth it. helped me for big coats and clothes nice and neat for a trip to Boston!

You can get the bags deflated the majority of the way with little strength. If you really want them to have absolutely no air in them, then you need a little strength and technique. My wife would get them mostly flat, but then I would put them on the bed or the floor, roll them up like a tube of toothpaste and put my weight on the bag to get the last bit out. Then I unrolled and flattened to pack in our suitcase. Just make sure you close the double zip lock well and not block the air escape vent with clothes from the inside. There is one passage out a corner that just needs to not have clothes right up against it. You can get the bags deflated the majority of the way with little strength.

I am a medium-built woman and I found it too easy. They don't have much resistance at all. As pointed out by another person, they are not marked, there is no scale mentioned. And I suspect they will loosen up too after some use. I returned the pair I bought.I guess, it depends on what you are looking for - something simple for mild exercise of your hands, or something 'tighter' for a good exercise.

Yes they are very easy to put togather, no tools! Also it's a little lower then I expected, but they are holding up pretty good. My husband is 6-4 150pounds I'm 5'3 150 pounds, they are holding up pretty well

They are not light weight, but you might use some heavy duty Velcro with adhesive. We keep ours on the ground and move them around (with ease) as needed.

so far, no problems! they're very sturdy...not flimsy. i just tried to bend them..no luck! :)

No, they are easy to handle. Just be careful of rising steam from the vents.
1306606
No. They're pretty strong. It would probably take plyers and a hammer to bend them.
1769636
They're very sturdy. Not easily bent at all, but I'm sure with enough force, could be.
1843621
No they seem to be pretty strong. I haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.

Yes they're strong enough. Just make sure if you mount them to rollbar, they only fit 1 1/2 inch bar

very easy for me, they are very heavy, so when you don't use your muscles to hold them in, they will fall out with a little jumping or walking

It should be realtively easy. You may have to pull and shake it a little while pulling. The first few times were also a little difficult for me.

I really think they would be fine. You don't have to push hard to use them so you should be smooth sailing.

I think they would be strong enough, but they may be too long. There were some shorter ones listed when I ordered these.

Absolutely, they are quite light. Guess it somewhat depends on what you're hanging on them though.

I personally think these are a little too light to handle that but I couldn't say for sure.
