Pacific Handy Cutter CL36 Clip-On Coil Lanyard, For Utility Knives, Safety Cutters, and Hand Tools, Extends to 48 Inches, Safe Tool Retention

The media could not be loaded. As I work in grocery retail, I'm constantly pulling my box cutter out to split tape, open cases and build displays.I am, however, the absolute worst when it comes to keeping track of anything on me once I've set it down somewhere.I got these when they were on sale and since I'd been eyeing them for some time I finally bought them.Since buying and utilizing them at work (mostly) I almost never lose my cutter, if anyone wants to borrow it they have to borrow me with it, and my favorite is when I'm going back and forth between using and not using my cutter - instead of putting it back in its holster every 15 seconds just to take it out for another second and back again, I will just drop it and let it swing and chill from my belt then just snatch it up when I need it again.A lot of my coworkers ask me where I got it from, if I got it from work and if they could get one too.My one only real complaint is, and this really is more my fault than anything but I had the film cutter blade exposed and my being not the smartest let it hang loose and the blade actually chewed through the loop that attaches your cutter to the leash.Totally my fault, but I guess maybe I wish that little second of thin cord was thicker or denser? Coated or strengthened somehow so it wouldn't be as easily severed should I decide not to use my brain again!Overall, a fantastic little sidekick to keep your personals close ... or fuel your inner laziness like me haha!

This is a great way to keep small knives, etc., from disappearing from my pack when hiking, skiing, whatever. Easy detaches and then attaches to pants, shorts, shirts, whatever. Not sure why I didn't think of it sooner, so I'm sharing my newfound wisdom.

It's great I've used it for three different jobs and it helps because you don't sit down the box cutter and lose it and have to look for it for 15 minutes just put it on this and stick it in your pocket it's always there ready I would set it down so I can put the product away or put the box away and then I had to look for it it was crazy so I did this I happen to wear a pair of pants it is perfect to go in the pocket clipped on me it saves me so much time at work

I've been using it for a year now, it is good. I bought it with intention of attaching my phone to it, so I can safely take pictures over bridges or water, and maybe mild thief deterrent.-Very easy to set up.-Not very often, but sometimes I notice that the metal clip unclips itself from my phone while in my pocket. It may not happen with lighter objects though. I wish the clip had stronger spring, or maybe plastic clip. This is rather important feature, which brings it down to 4 stars.-It doesn't take up much space when retracted, but stretches far, maybe a bit too far for my preference (I use it with my smartphone, tied to my belt loop. If dropped, the phone will hit the ground).-It can also function as a crappy temperature gauge. I noticed that when it gets really cold outside (near 0C) it stiffens when stretched out. It springs back after a minute when I get back to warmth.-It can be used as an impromptu "head (body) lamp" with a phone. I usually have it tied to my belt loop. I then can turn on the light on my smartphone, sling it over my neck, and adjust the stretch a bit. Good for pitch dark outhouses.-I've forgotten to unclip it from my trousers few times before sending it through washer and dryer. No issues.

Used this with a microfiber cloth as a sweat / snot rag hanging from my backpack while hiking the JMT and AT.I figured I might get a few days out of it before it broke but it took plenty of pulling and snagging and dragging and never broke. I still have it and I'm going to use it again next year! I just used a hot nail to melt a hole in the microfiber and tied the one end on.

I bought this for my hubby so he could carry a train pass in his pocket while traveling in Japan. He attached the card case to this coil and the coil to his belt loop. The coil extended to tap the pass at train stations and kept it from falling from his pocket when not in use so that he wouldn't lose the pass with a lot of money on it, which he had done before. (We found out that Daiso in Japan sold these for ¥100, which is about 65 cents.)

This little think may not look like much but I'm telling you, it saves me so much time it's worth it's weight in gold. I attach it to my box cutter and the loop on the back of my pants so that if I happen to drop my cutter while trying to put it back in my pocket, this thing catches it for me. I love it. Just ordered two more for some co-workers.

Great idea but cord section broke pretty quickly- in a couple of months- with normal use.
