If someone were to give me some as a gift I would be happy but I could not justify the cost (as measly as it is) if I were buying. They work as advertised and are surprisingly more convenient than just using a rubber band.

They work really well. I carry WD-40 in a rafting repair kit and the leash is convenient and secure. Tape sucks for quick access to tubes. Rubber bands are okay until they start to rot. These straw holders are urethane and won't fall apart over time. I'm using them on other cans of lubricants. Yeah, tape and rubber bands are cheaper. I suppose if you're really stingy this product is a big exravagance. I bought a set online. They work really well. I carry WD-40 in a rafting repair kit and the leash is convenient and secure.

Maybe 2 or 3 to the Brothers in Law and Dad as stocking stuffers. Keep a couple for myself just to try out. Also, WD40 isn't the only can that these can be used on. Gun scrubber, carb cleaner, white lithium grease aerosol...etc. All have tubes. Even though I use rubber bands, I’d still probably buy some.

That simplifies it for me. If I use a penetrant I use PB Blaster, and it has a pinpoint spray nozzle. Says so right on the can. I don’t use WD-40. That simplifies it for me.

It was free. They call them "rubber bands" and they work great. Maybe not as cool looking, but I won't mind if I lose one or ten. I have one of those. It was free.

I wish they were more common as they sure look handy. I’ve seen these on “Ask This Old House”, but never in a store. I wish they were more common as they sure look handy.

No more loosing the silly thing now. I am waiting for the cans of brake cleaner, carb cleaner and PB blaster to have the same feture. The new WD-40 cans have a intigrated straw that flips up or down.

You accumulate them after a while. If I lose or drop one, there's another to grab. I use the big rubber bands that come with broccoli, and keep two or three tubes strapped to each can.
