" ... First of all their are no labels on any of the bands so you don't know what weight they actually are. ... On some bands you can't even turn the clasp as its deformed so you can't lock into place. ... Every band has a big fold mark in them (sometimes more than one) and they actually look like they have been cut, I feel they will snap once I start to use them. ... The ends of the bands are not straight they look like a bent finger. ... All the bands do not feel like difference resistances, they all feel they same. ... "
" ... Bands are not durable at all and one of them broke within 2 minutes of taking it out of its packaging and doing a test on it, inside is just the band bent over and tied with a tie wrap and a soft piece of rubber placed around it, they differ from pictures others have posted and there is no indication of the different resistance on the bands like in the advertised pictures, the resistance in the bands does not feel different between some of them, i suppose you get what you pay for ... "
" ... Two of the bands just went off within two weeks doing chest flys nearly hurting my arms ... These bands are not strong enough ... "
" ... After 6 weeks of moderate use two of the band's broke. ... "
" ... I didn't notice any difference in the resistance levels of the bands, they all feel the same. ... "
" ... After three uses, all but one of the bands have broken. ... When they break they go in quite a dramatic way - luckily the metal clasp didn't damage anything. ... "
" ... I really like resistance bands but these aren’t as good as others I have bought. ... I find the clips that attach the bands to the handles much flimsier than ones that have more of a caribener style attachment. ... "
" ... Excited to use them I took them out of the bag, there were no instructions and the bands themselves were not labeled so I didn't know which one was the hardest resistance to the easiest. ... While stretching them to try figure out which one was which the clip on the yellow band snapped off. ... "
