How do I handle my stretch band without breaking it?

Your Divoti stretch (expansion) band is made to flex, but one spot needs extra care: where the band meets the metal plate, called the lugs.
How to handle your Divoti stretch band: bend at least half an inch from the lugs, not at the connection point

Important: There's no built-in spring where the band meets the metal plate (the lugs). Bending the band right at that joint puts all the stress on the connection.

Don't

  • Don't bend or flip the band right at the connection point. The stress can break the band.

Do

  • Give it space: Flip or bend the band at least ½ inch (13 mm) away from the lugs.
  • Use the perfect spot: Bend or adjust the band from the center of the bottom of the band, opposite the metal plate.
