Just received my resistance bands a few days ago, and must say I'm pretty impressed. I like must buyers read the product reviews before making my purchase, and after reading one particular review where the bracket snapped in half and cut the persons foot I must admit I had my concerns. So I "rolled the dice" anyway based on price/value and the overwhelming positive reviews. As soon as my package came I opened it expecting to find those poor quality brackets but was shocked to find something else. It actually shipped with some nice decent quality carabiners instead of the snap on brackets. It reassured me that BMP cares about their products and pays attention to their reviews.
