text: while the price was excellent and the tool for holding the bands was very good, the bands themselves flew apart about a min. after you started sanding with them. The first one I thought was a fluke but after 10 or so came apart I was concerned . Without eye protection someone could have a serious accident ,I was hit twice in the face as they flew apart. They are separating at the seam and the band of grit is coming loose from the belt. I don't know if somewhere along the line they got wet,or they are not rated for the speed of a simple dremel band rotary tool. The cheapest single speed tools on the market still go at the 25,000 rpm range ,( which was the speed I was using). If these bands are not rated for at least that speed they are no good for much of anything.
