Missing lanyard. I ordered 2, one as a replacement and I sent both back since the actual attachment that i wanted is not included
Well worth the purchase if you're rough with your gear in the great outdoors! I own two of these keepers, and for their potential plethora of uses, they're worth the money! I've added one to a chest rig via the molle front to keep either a search light, or a pair of shears attached and dummy corded. Better than expected, but unfortunately more bulky than a 550 inner strand, that said, the retractable action makes it on par! I've tested lots of brands out in the harsh wilderness or ocean, and none have been more resilient than these Gear Keepers!
Strong retractable. I thought I was replacing the 2lb one but this is a 9oz. It seems as strong if not stronger than what I was expecting. So far, it's working out great.
Thumbs up. Indispensable for valuable hand held gear. Tool has worked very well.
Produto Premium. Qualidade extraordinária. Muito satisfeito com a compra. Recomendo a todos.
works great would buy another one with no hesitation. works good I use it for my vhf mike
After a recent failure of a Garmin brand retractable, and loss of a $1,000 receiver in the woods, trying this one. Appears to be a little more robust so far.
It has good intentions. It says for many items including GPS units. But apparently not the Garmin Montana 700 GPS unit. It's only 14 ounces, but it's heavy enough it won't retract back up all the way, and actually lets out a bit with typical walking/hiking. Like the idea, just not strong enough.
Not impressed by the retraction. I’ve used the retractor about a dozen times since it was purchased. I am concerned about the strength and durability of the retraction. I purchased a different retractor to have on hand in case of failure
The accessories make the kit the bomb 👍🏁. Fast ship great product
Strong long keychain. Strong spring, Long line, Durable retractor box and many attachment options make it a very good solution for me. Hanging multiple keys and FlashLight.
THE BEST! The best tether!
Durable. Durable. Retracts well.
Security with Options. I purchased this keeper to attach a wireless mic to my firefighting gear so it would not hit the ground if it fell off my gear. The various mounting options allowed me to configure a solution that works for me. It works great and has saved the mic from hitting the ground or dropping in the water several times already.
Me encanta. 🥰
DANGler!!! This is amazing! Great company!!!!!
As described original gear keeper
Good product if you don’t mind the noise. Nice accessories, but retraction mechanism is too noisy for hunting situations.
A+ item. Truck cb
a must have! I have bought several of these and will purchase more when needed, i use them for radio mic holders.
great item. perfect for my scuba gauges
Great product!Used their mic retractors in the fire service for years then converted my old retractors to hunting use for my range finder with great results even though they weren’t designed for that purpose.This Gearkeeper RT4 is more than up to the job of handling a range finder.My only negative comment could be noise from the cable in some situations.Also- I ordered 2 of these together, one was “as advertised” one didn’t have the advertised mounting accessories. But exchange for correct item was painless through Amazon though it meant a trip to the post office.
Does the job. I like for the most part. The screw knob does not stay tight and it will fall out. I wish that the string would ratchet out and stay extended with out having to hold on to the object you are trying to secure.
NOT As Pictured/Described. This seems to be a pretty good quality item. I like the cord, retraction force, velcro belt loop, and quick connect keeper system.BUT it's not fully 'saltwater proof' like the packaging says, because the two smallest split rings (one on the 6" lanyard piece and one that is packaged with the stick-on plastic loop) are both slightly magnetic, indicating some type of 400 series stainless, which is rust-RESISTANT but not rust PROOF, and certainly not saltwaterproof. This material WILL last longer than plain steel, and simply washing it off after use and/or a squirt of WD40 will give a long service life.Also, the 'Nokia style' lanyard loop piece (with the very thin loop on the end) shown in the product photo is NOT in the package. Instead, a simple cord loop, two-tone color sort of grey with black, and about 3" long and about 3/32" thick is included. The other pieces shown are in the kit.Overall, a good purchase, but if I needed the tiny diameter loop as shown I'd be out of luck.
Just works. Works as expected. Happy with it for my rangefinder.
Thanks. Good
Secure A Variety Of Gear. Simple and easy to use. And the product is very diverse in its uses. The quick attach and detach feature is excellent and the velcro strap gives you the ability to attach items in various locations where they are most conveniently accessible.
This thing is awesome very strong retracting. This thing is awesome very strong retracting. I've had other brands none have held up as well or are near as strong I use for holding my range finder while hunting even when walking or crawling it doesn't move very satisfied!

Awesome product. Use it for my laser range finder ... Awesome product. Use it for my laser range finder during bow season.
Five Stars. Works well on my pontoon boat.
Good product. Retracting cord is strong enough to hold my range finder without extending until I pull on it. The variety of attachment options provided is convenient.
Very useful. Really like the strength and return on this ... Very useful. Really like the strength and return on this device. This was used for deer stand, but will buy others for kayak.
Super Versatile and Well Made. I ordered this product as well as the one from Nikon. After inspecting and testing both I would guess they might even be manufactured out of the same facility. They look and feel very similar. Biggest difference between the products is this one has more ways to attach and secure your gear. Noise, retraction strength, materials, durability I would guess to be identical between the products. You pay $5 more for this setup but you gain several additional ways to attach your gear. The metal ring on both the Nikon and this Gear Keeper are loud if you don't control them. If you plan to use this product for hunting I would recommend putting a small piece of electric tape on the base of the unit to muffle the sound of the hard plastic hitting upon retraction and you may consider trying to coat the metal ring as well.Both products seem to be well made and I don't have concerns about reliability or use in the field. You can get the Nikon one in camouflage where this is all black. If the camo is required go with the Nikon; otherwise this is a more versatile setup and I would prefer this to any of the other brands available online. The pieces you get in this set are interchangeable with the Nikon so if you have both setups like I do you can use the clips from this setup to clip to the Nikon. The only thing that does not work is the metal pin that you screw into the back of this if you were securing it to a strap, bag, or shirt. That pin will only work with this device.

Gave as gift to firefighter graduate, before retiring this was a nice little accessory to find radio mic in a smoky environment when, not if, when it eventually comes of TO clip holder. Important to have access to comm readily available.
