00:00Okay, so this might be the least glamorous thing I've ever talked about on this channel,
00:04but hear me out, if your desk drawer is a graveyard of dried out, snapped rubber bands,
00:08this video is for you.
00:10I went down a rabbit hole testing and comparing elastic bands for bundling files,
00:14cables, mail, all of it, and I found 5 that are genuinely worth your money.
00:19These are the top 5 elastic rubber bands for office bundling,
00:22and honestly, some of these prices are almost silly.
00:26First up is the 150 or 1500 piece high elastic rubber band set for file and stationary bundling.
00:33The big selling point here is the bulk option, you can grab a small pack to test,
00:37or just commit and get 1500 of them so you never think about rubber bands again.
00:42They're noticeably sturdier than the cheap ones that turn to dust in a drawer,
00:46and they stretch without that scary is this about to snap in my face feeling.
00:50It's $8.92, over 4,700 sold, sitting at a 4.3 rating.
00:57If you're bundling thick file folders or paperwork stacks daily, this is the one.
01:02Next, the 100-piece black rubber bands, 25 by 1.4 millimeters.
01:08These are the small, thick, tight ones, and they're my personal favorite for cables.
01:13Charging cords, HDMI cables, earbuds, anything you want wrapped tight and staying wrapped.
01:18The black color also just looks cleaner than that classic beige,
01:22so if you're bundling stuff that people actually see, this looks way more intentional.
01:27$2.62 for a hundred of them, 4.8 stars, nearly 4,500 sold.
01:33For under 3 bucks, this is a no-brainer add-to-cart.
01:37Third is the yellow rubber bands for office and packaging, 40-millimeter elastic latex bands.
01:43These are the ones I'd call the true all-rounder.
01:4740 millimeters is that sweet spot size that works for file folders, mail bundles, cash,
01:52receipts, produce, whatever you throw at it.
01:55And because it's real latex, the stretch recovery is excellent,
01:58they snap back to shape instead of staying stretched out and useless.
02:03$3.68, and they've got a 4.9 rating from over 4,400 buyers.
02:09That rating alone tells you people aren't disappointed.
02:12Coming in at number 4, the 38-millimeter strong adjustable elastic bands,
02:17available in yellow, white, or black, in 150 or 1,500-piece packs.
02:23What I like here is the color choice, you can actually color-code your bundling system,
02:27which sounds nerdy until you're staring at 12 identical stacks of paper.
02:32They're marketed as cow bands, which basically means heavy-duty.
02:36These hold up under real tension.
02:39$4.57, 4.7 stars, and about 4,400 sold.
02:45Great pick if you want durability plus a bit of organization.
02:49And number 5, this one's almost too cheap to believe.
02:53The yellow O-ring rubber bands with diameters ranging from 10 all the way to 50 millimeters.
02:59So you pick the exact size you need instead of guessing.
03:02Tiny ones for bundling pens and small cables, big ones for folders and packages.
03:08$0.46
03:10Not a typo, $0.46, with a 4.9 rating and nearly 4,000 sold.
03:15Honestly, just throw this in your cart alongside literally anything else you're ordering.
03:20There's no reason not to.
03:23Alright, that's the top 5.
03:26I've dropped links to every single one of these down in the description so you can go
