They are not as strong as I expectedThese are really hard to tear apart. They rip really easy so it makes it difficult to not ruin them.The only complaint I have is that they are very difficult to separate from the roll. The perforations between bags is not adequate and you have to fuss with them to tear off the roll. Otherwise OK.Pardon the pun but these are utter garbage. I bought a pack of them and just got to opening them to use for my 4.5 gallon trash that i use for cat litter. The first one I used and the bottom just made a nice POP sound as it gave out and spilled all the litter right back into the canister. First one. Unbelievable. We'll use these for maybe package or something because it seems they're only durable enough for tissues and feathers.Did not come with the amount advertised. And each time you try to pull a trash bag off it rips! The ones that didn't rip were sterdy and did good. Not going to order again.These bags are by no means “thick”. They’re probably the thinnest trash bags I’ve ever seen.Thick is not this product. But works great for what I use for.I bought these 4-6 gallon (they're definitely only 4 gallon) strong (they're not) garbage bags for a small kitchen wastebasket, which is rated at 6 gallons. Not a single one of these will stretch to fit the rim without splitting down the side. The way they're shipped, is rolled up with each bag connected via a poorly perforated strip which you are supposed to tear apart. Every single one does not follow the line and ends up ripping one of the two connected bags.The best thing to do with these garbage bags, is place them in the garbage.
