3/8in OD 1/4in ID BLACK Latex Rubber Tubing ONE CONTINUOUS PIECE (Select Length) (#804)

I bought this 3/8 in OD 1/4 in ID Latex Rubber Tubing (#804) 3 FEET for bushcraft. I use it llike a long straw to blow coals into flame. It allows me to direct my breath more effectively, and to do so while still sitting upright (rather than having to lay down on the ground with my face close to the coals, where ash tends to blow into my face and on clothes). It's also handy when cooking with my Emberlit box-style camp stove. The stove burns more efficiently with occasional puffs of breath to increase the intensity of the burning wood, and it's easier to direct breath through the small airway openings using this tubing. Also, this good quality latex tubing has enough stretch and strength to double as an serviceable tourniquet--so it's good for two functions in one.I ordered three feet, but found that two feet was enough for my needs. The tubing is easy to cut with a scissors to the desired length.My only (small) quibble is that this tubing arrived in a soft mailing envelope, taped in several places to a cardboard stiffener. The stiffner did a fine job of protecting the tubing, but the masking tape turned out to be annoying and time-consuming to peel off the latex rubber. As I tried to peel it away, it would cling to the rubber and tear into pieces that then had to be picked off tediously. Not a big deal--it took about four minutes to peel away the four or five pieces of tape--but I would've preferred it to be twist-tied or something easier to remove. I'm not sure if this problem is typical, but it was the only negative issue I found and I'd still have no reservations about ordering this tubing again from the same supplier.If you're looking for good quality latex rubber tubing with 1/4" inner diameter, look no further. This is nice stuff.

Finally managed to make replacement bands for a wrist rocket & so far, the 3/8" x 1/4" tubing has exceeded any expectations for use with a wrist rocket. This tubing is by far better than buying the OEM replacement bands, I have been chasing (not harming) the critters out of my 50' pecan tree, had been using OEM replacement bands & might get 3 days (if using 5/16" or smaller projectiles) before the tubing would tear rendering the wrist rocket useless. Made 3 replacement bands so far, spent this afternoon launching 5/16" & larger projectiles & whatever else laying in the yard testing the new band & could not be more impressed, can stretch this tubing further than OEM & without fear that the tubing would tear when a solid pecan shell sored past the 8th backyard mark passing the old 4 yard mark history.Purchased 3/8" x 1/8" tubing as well, still trying to achieve same tying method as shown in pictures, but, with the thicker walled tubing, will take a bit more creativity to pull the loops back through itself to secure the leather pouch. When I use up the current 10' tubing to create the new bands (which there are no unforseen reasons it will be even better), will update & post pictures with an updated review.Highly recommend this tubing over OEM replacement bands that costs double the $$$$.

Exactly as described. Easy pull, strong throw with major momentum. It's very easy to work with and easy to cut. I'm using this tube on a giant slingshot in order to get my climbing line into a tree. There is no twist so after I've launched my weight bag (which is tied to my throw line) it does not "roll over" and tangle in my line. It was very easy to splice into my leather pouch which holds the weight bag. If it ever gets cut or destroyed I will purchase this tube again. Fast shipping and packaged well. I've been using it for only a week so I cant say how durable it is but so far so good.

Its good

I was looking for latex tubing to replace the old latex tubing on a guitar stand. Not the best size tubing but works well enough.

Realy bugging me for a review, so... haven't used it yet my intention is for a slingshot. We will see. Seemed a tad big on the ID. Rubber seems real soft. Like i said we will see.Your welcome.

time will tell but tubing appears to be of good quality. I use it for my kiteboarding kites... for the one pump transitions from LE Bladder to strut bladders (kiters will know what I'm talking about). This is latex tubing so there are some concerns how it will hold up in really hot weather so I can't speak to that. I'm in Michigan so we don't face the days Florida does. If you are in a Southern state you may want to scrutinize this a bit further. But overall, this seems to be quality latex tube.

Worked great for replacing the rubber on an old guitar stand.PRO-TIPS for if you're using this for the same purpose as I am (replacing the rubber on an old guitar stand):- use some string to measure how much you need, and then buy 1.5-2x that much. You might make mistakes, and the tubing seems to get shorter when it's stretched onto the metal tube. I bought 2 ft initially, and had to order another 3 ft when I ran out.- If you're having a hard time getting the tubing on, use soap and a little water on the inside of the tubing to lubricate. Don't use mineral oil or other petroleum products, the tubing just seems to soak them up, and they don't lubricate properly.Hope that helps!
