Ergodyne Squids 3002 Retractable Tool Lanyard with Locking Carabiner, Straps to Attach to Belt or Harness, Gray, Standard

First off I'm not using this for its designed intentions. I'm using this as a line tensioner for a custom made downrigger system on my fish boat. And it's perfect for my application. It's compact and well made. It provides smooth consistent tension deployed at 3" or 36". Also if you need to mount it permanently the velcro slots provide excellant mounting options. A couple things to know, the generous advertised 48" length is the total overall dimension not the distance the lanyard will extend. Unfortunately for my application I also needed to remove the fancy locking carabiner and the only way to do that was with my Dremel and a cutoff wheel!

Maybe a bit overkill for something like this to hold on to a pair of earbuds but this does the job very well. Feels very strong and I doubt I'll break or rip the cord over time. Unless someone has a knife or scissors then it will not be coming loose. I only wish it had a belt clip along with the velcro attachment as a belt is absolutely required whereas a clip can be used on any pair of pants.

Purchased an "Ergodyne Squids 3002 Retractable Tool Lanyard with Locking Carabiner, Straps to Attach to Belt or Harness, Gray, Standard". The orange "safety" collar is spring loaded such that you have to rotate 90° and hold it in that position to open the carabiner. However, the spring in my collar failed after a dozen uses and the collar freely rotates. I removed the carabiner and attached a much smaller clip that I attach to a tether tab on my phone, and it is a great solution for this. My phone weighs 8.71oz and the reel does not retract with the phone dangling, which is perfect for my usage.

Definitely worth the money Very durable and definitely comes in handy when working on the lake. Highly recommend. This product has definitely picked up a few drills that have fell deep in the water

I bought this about a year ago and it's great but it pulled down about 5 inches because of my handheld weight. I bought another one that says it will hold 2lbs. It didn't hold 2lbs. My tool weighs 1lb 6 oz.

The product seems to function well, as far as the retractable mechanism, but the velcro came off the plastic strap it was glued to within a couple of months. Useless now.

I was a little disappointed that this doesn't hold as heavy of an item. I got this as a key holder and sometimes I have lots of keys and they hang down on the regular key backs. It does do a better job than they do

I have used this to hold my box cutter when stocking shelves, it has lasted longer than any retractable product by far.

Produto de ótima qualidade!

Great product

I put this on my harness and I attatch my tig welding torch to it. Hands free and secure when I'm bot tigging. Multipurpose. Works for me.
