Has anyone used these to hold their kids' large/awkward toys, like Tonka dump trucks and excavators? Are they "flexible" or are they rigid? Thanks!

These are pretty rigid. They are great for papers, small batches of laundry and lots of kinds of toys. I really like them.

We have them for the kids and they are both on short carpet. They roll just fine. We've never had any trouble with them. One is surviving our 9 year old son who can break an anvil!

For short-term storage they are definitely strong enough. They handle fairly sharp recyclable items without tearing as well as heavy items, but as S. Craig said they are designed to be degradable so are not good for long-term storage.

pretty flexible yes. They are relatively elastic however a 1" dia. might be pushing it. That will take some work. I think you may be able to do it but I am not for certain.

Yes. Very flexible, I like them very much and they were much better and more manageable than the strap hanging system I has before

They are quite flexible before going through the laminator, almost completely rigid afterwards. I've been very pleased with them for use with laminating materials for my second grade students' use.

They are hard/brittle. They do have a little give to them when I squeeze hard, but definitely wouldn't consider them flexible. We haven't broken any of them & have had them for about a year though.

Lawrence, did you buy one of these to store your LPs, and was it sturdy enough to hold them without bending from the weight? If it didn't work, did you find something better for that task? thanks

It's not the sturdiest, especially if you were to stack them; however, I have two that I also use for toy room storage. So far, they have been great. I use them without storage bins for books and bulky items, and others with bins for smaller ones. Would definitely buy again for a toy room storage solution. Pretty easy to put together too.

Yes I would definitely say they are sturdy enough for balls!! I would use them for that myself if my kids were still around!

They are very sturdy! We had a different one before, and it was not nearly as strong as this one we have. Just as long as you keep it on a level floor, this can handle a ton of weight. :-)

I think they are. I use mine to hold many of my daughters toys and they are pretty sturdy. I love them.

Yes they are somewhat flexible. I have not used them yet. I purchased them to move meat off the grill and to hold on to meat while I cut it. They are not as flexible as thin gloves. But to handle big items it will work. I have big hands and they are a little tight. I wish they came in several sizes.

Yes, they are quite strong, I use them to hold out going mail, stacks of Trucker Permits, Purse, I even bought some ans sent them to my children.

I think they will be best for that actually, that and light weight items. My son has are too big and heavy so it tips over and I have to prop it up. The handles tore easily for ones with out toys but it still functions well.

Yes, they wiggle a little. It doesn't impact their function, this is probably a tradeoff with their design which allows them to fit in the tools. I recently was able to remove tiny torx screws in the field without having to get my full tool case. The convince is definitely worth it. Due to the nature of the tool you would not use these for anything requiring a lot of torque anyway, so a little wobble (side to side) is fine. I love mine. Since getting mine my tool case has stayed in my truck and I fixed a water heater (thermostat), desktop computers, notebook computers, light switches, projector. It's great to show up with just my backpack and fix almost anything without carrying 60 pounds of tools. Haven't come across a screw yet that the set didn't fit perfectly.

These are pretty tough. I have 1/4" air hose and extension cords on mine. Easy to hang on to wind up with cord coming underneath seems to work best for me. The get dropped, pitch in the truck, and generally handled as utility items. Never had one break. Round one seems more usable to me.
