Here is how I spent a lille of my time saturday afternoon. I have two jobs, my main job I am on call for seven days then get days off, the other job is on a ranch and I work there untill I get called in.
   The reason I am writting this is because I have a banding fetish and I know others here do as well. I have only used the ideal intruments bander and havent tried anything else untill now. The little green bands I am sure would do the job if left on long enough and they are fun to play with, but I have always wordered about a ez-bander since I have read about them in some of the stories here.

   My sister works on this ranch full time and I was helping her and she mentioned that later that day they would have to band some yearlings. Now I know yearlings are too big for the small grenn bands. So I asked her " arent the a little big to band"? and she replied " they have a bander that uses tubing and it would fit on almost anything ". I kind-of played dumb  and wondered out loud what that contraption would look like. To which she replied "I would show it to you but it is over at the other ranch" and thats  30 miles from here. So I forgot about it for the moment.And I was called out to work later that day so I missed the bander demo. Now they have a old ez-bander there but is not in working order [ I know because I was pretty excited when I firts saw it and tried to use it, but it was junk]

   Saturday I was out working and I came across a package of bands for a calicrate bander in the shop. I read the instructions and fanasized about using the bander but the pakage wasn't opened and the banding tool itself wasn't to be found [ trust me I looked].

   At the end of the day I went into the tack room [ kind-of a shortcut through the barn ] I thought I would have a quick peek arouind for the banding tool. Well much to my delight there it was in the bottom of a toolbox filled with other supplies and there were a few bands for it in the box to. My heart actually started beating faster when I picked it up. I loaded a band onto it [ something which actually required the directions ]
I didn't really think about anything but how it would feel. So I whipped down my shorts and put my balls through the loop. It was nice to not have to force them through like I do with the regular bander. I went ahead and ratcheted the handle and the band tightened quikly. It started to pich a bit and I stoped and readjusted the skin on my scrotum, MY prick was allready leaking precum, I was so turned on and my heart was still racing.
 
  I tightened down the band untill it was slightly tighter than a normal band [ I was scared by the way it seemed to be so easily crushing my cords that I could actually cause permanent damage just tightining the band]  and I saw that the tools little indicater says that it should be tighter yet. I stopped right there however and tested the band to see If I could remove it. Well I did not look closely at the band before I cut off the circulation to my balls with it. The tubing as it tuns out is extremly thick and you cant stretch  it by hand to get it off your balls once you have started ratcheting it down. So now I was a little worried and I was really starting to hurt. I was now sorry that I put it on in the first place. I wasn't carrying a knife so I looked around the tack room and came up with a pair of scissors. I managed to get a grip on the band when I cut it so I would't snap off so hard.
 
  After I got the band off, I reloaded the bander again and looked around for something to lube my scrotum up with so I could tighten down the band without it pinching. I came up with some horse linement. I rubbed the linement on my balls and repositioned the band. This time I planned on cranking down the tool all the way and crimping the clip and everything.

  I started cranking slowly to keep from pinching anymore skin. The feeling of the band was incredible, It was so fucking tight. I have never had anything around my balls that tight before. I kept on cranking untill my cords started really hurting bad. I had planned on going all the way but it seemed like I might actually crush my cords with the band. I decided to stop right there, I checked the indicater and it still needed to be tighter by calicrates standards. I left it on for a few minutes and my balls turned black fast, faster than ever before, This is a very serious tool!!

  This time when I went to cut the band it was slippery from the linement on it and I couldnt get a grip on it at all, I cut the band off slowly and when it finnaly went it really snapped hard!!!. Right now writting this I have a raised red welt around my balls and the skin in a few spots feels about a quarter of an inch thick. And I actually hurt when I walk.

  So my point is, the calicrate is not a toy at all. It would be more fun if the ratchet would back off the band as well as tighten it, then it would be awsome. I truely belive that if a person tightens this tool down as far as it is intended they just may castrate themselves burdizzio style without intending to. The tool is a simple concept and requires no effort to tighten it down which means a partner will have to be carfull with it because you could really be hurt. the cool thing is that you can get your balls though the loop without a fight.
I am sorry for the non sexyness of my story but I though a little truth about the a real persons day would be refreshing.
