TANTO thread organiser reviews please

Does anyone have a Tanto thread organiser as i have seen them on the internet and there are quite a few mixed reviews about them. Does the thread get tangled up and can you replace the elastic bands when they break?

Any views greatly received :D:D:D

I have 2 that I use constantly. Yes the threads can get tangled up but if you don't have them shorter lengths they don't tangle as much. Yes the rubber bands do break but I just replace them with heavy duty bands from stationery stores. I love my tanto organisers but I do need to replace 1 of the heads as I've had some pins break off when my daughter knocked it over and it hit our tv cabinet.

From what i have been reading they still tangle up especially when the elastic bands break

dstressd Publish time 2012-8-15 19:37

I must admit that they look rather expensive being only plastic, and therefore I would think rather flimsy. The company are selling them on ebay for £29.99 if that helps.
