I have both - prefer the Bianchi. The multi-color Tuff Strips is useful to know what load they are - .357 or .38Spl since i use both interchangeably.
It got a lot of bad reviews on Midway, such as:Well my MAXFIRE speedloaders came today, they're not speedstrips per se, but they're made of rubber like polymer and they're in a "stacked/staggered" configuration vs. HKS style speedloaders, hope this info helps there jski.

Most of the time I write positive reviews but this thing just does not work. The cartridges do not line up with the chambers at all and when you try to pull the speed loader loose to drop release the cartridges many times they pop out and end up on the floor. Not to mention you could never carry this speed loader in a belt case or concealed carry due to its design. Overall it's very unreliable and just a bad design.
Think I’ll wait until they get a positive review on https://revolverguy.com/One star my be a bit much. You have to hold these just right to make them work, and it takes extra time to look at it and see if you ARE holding it the right way. If not you run the risk of pulling cartridges back out of the cylinder when trying to pull the speedloader loose. One slot was loose and would not hold the cartridge very well. I'd prefer the Bianchi Speedstrips over these. It was a good idea for a cheap, simple, loading system, but it just doesn't work very well.
It appears to me that you need to speak from experience: get a pair of Zeta6 K-PAK speed strips and try using them.Most people understand that the biggest reason for using "speedstrips" instead of conventional "speedloaders" is that they are so much less bulky and easier to carry concealed. But to call them in any way speedy is a bit of an overreach, imo; an oxymoron worthy of "jumbo shrimp" or "government worker" semantic contradictions.
I like the Bianchi product but I've never tried the Tuff brand.
Interesting, I tried them out already in my Security-Six they work the way they're supposed to, but you have to use them as instructed in the directions.It got a lot of bad reviews on Midway, such as:
