Gear Keeper Locking Small Scuba Dive Light Retractor - Scuba Gear With Combo Mount, Snap Clip & Threaded Stud & QC-II Split Ring Accessory - Scuba Diving Accessories - Made in USA

I use this as a retractable glove retainer. I work in an industrial facility that requires the use of gloves for a lot of tasks. I used to keep my gloves in the back pocket of my coveralls. On occasion I would go to grab my gloves only to find one or both had fallen out, plus they are bulky to sit on. I started using a glove lanyard but nothing to clip it to and it was hard to reach. This item solved my problems. I attach it to my coverall using the pin, then have a alligator clip on the end. My gloves are now always secure and easy to reach. This product also seems quite durable.

Works as intended, not quite a 30 inch reach however.

Holds my red flashlight in easy reach so I can quickly use it in the dark while stargazing. Make sure you know the weight of the item you want to hang as these are sold rated for MANY different draw weights. The first time I messed up and got one with too high a draw wt. It made it hard to pull the flashlight out and keep it out while in use. I felt like I was fighting the device. I got the smaller draw weight one and now it fells perfect. It is easy to pull out and use but when not in use it is strong enough to keep the light reeled in and not in my way.

Item is wonderful for smaller items, Ex. Reef stick, flashlight, compass, slate, etc.Downfall is the manufacture changed the style of fastener - my original had a stainless steal clip which was easier to remove from my gear and now its a ridged plastic clip - very reliable, but harder to take on and off.

Retractable lanyard exactly what I needed to keep my pressure gauge stowed.

Keeps flashlight handy and always easily accessed. Tension just right for small flashlight

actually planning on using this for my gauges, will test out on my next dive.

I love this retractor. It's not so stiff to be difficult to open. Not so loose that stuff wanders. The cord is a little short for me but both my kids (12 and 14 yrs) have this retractor for their consoles. Highly recommended. I may even start using one for myself. I have tried lots of other retractors and sometimes the cord is too short, sometimes too stiff.
