Plastic tensioner tabs broke off right away.  But worked anyway.
Got a package with three of these toothpaste tube squeezers.<br />It was easy to insert the bottom of the tube into the twist key and then push that into the base.  My tube was pretty full, so I only got a partial wrap, but it seemed to be working good.<br />The base can be used to sit the tube upright on the counter and that worked.<br /><br />Two days later I was able to get another half twist out of the key.  Then one of the plastic tabs on bottom of unit broke.  Then I just thought I would try to twist it just a bit and the other tab broke off.<br />In case it was just one defective unit I tried another one and it broke also.  If they are breaking off with only one wrap of tube, there is no way this can work for even half a tube.<br /><br />I then just tried pushing on the tension tabs with my finger to see how much flex they had.  The answer is almost none.  There is no way these tabs will not break off.<br /><br />However, I kept using this and to my surprise it worked anyway.  I didn't think the wrapped tube would fit in the space, but it did.  So I am adding a picture with tube wrapped up and almost empty.  So I bumped this up from 1 to 3 stars.  With all the tensioner taps all breaking off, I don't think I should rate it any higher.
