| Innovative Compass Slate Reviews 
Reviewer: David Smith on 11/26/2008
Good Compass and Slate Combo - This is a good slate and compass combo. You can write on both sides with the attached pencil. With the locking retractor is keeps it out of the way until needed, but handy when you are ready to use it without tugging on you all the time. The only downside is that the compass must be almost perfectly level to use, if it is tilted too much then the dial hangs up on itself and then isnt accurate. For the price it is a good compass, to get 5 starts it would have to allow reading when more out-of-level (but would then cost significantly more, at least when compared to similar compasses).

| Innovative Max Force Retractor with Stainless Steel Carabiner Connector Reviews
Reviewer: Eric Jorgensen on 9/5/2007
Large but strong retractor - I bought this retractor after having wasted my money on two other ones that were not capable of holding my computer off the ground while walking to the water. This one is definitely stronger than most and works well.
With my Aeris ai (air integrated computer with compass module) the computer hangs with about 1/2" of line extended out from the base of the retractor. Previously the computer would hang on about 6" of line and swing around. It is strong enough to do the job but not so strong as to be an annoyance.
My only complaint is that I thought it was one of the smaller retractors when looking at the picture online. It is a pretty large unit- probably about 3/4 of the size of... View Full Review

| XS Scuba Flashlight / Camera Retractor Reviews 
Reviewer: Sarah S. on 12/30/2009
How did I live without these? - If youre THINKING about buying one, buy three! I really wish I hadnt waited so long to buy a few of these. Got different sizes for lights, camera, console. Theyre great for anything you like to have close at hand, but since you cant hold everything in your hands...there are these retractors!
And when youre done using whatever it is youre using? Just let go! (though I usually give the retractor clip a good tug, just to be safe).
Seriously, youll want more than one. And so will your buddy (my husband, who is jealous I didnt get him any!).

| Akona Mini Retractor Reviews
Reviewer: Anne E. on 8/23/2007
A little inconsistent - one good, one not strong enough - We ordered a couple of these, and one of them gently and easily connects gauges to one BCD, with a handy clip design that allows it to snap into place easily. The other just wasnt as strong, and the same gauges dangle rather than being held tightly in place. It would be fine for a lighter object - I just wish both worked as well as the first one does.

| XS Scuba Xscerrory Mini Retractor Clip Reviews 
Reviewer: Joseph Johnson on 2/10/2007
Works well, light spring - Although I love the length of the cable and it works well with no hang-ups, the spring tension on this retractor is very light, not suitable for computers or guages. Use with signal devices or other light accessories is about its limit.

| XS Scuba Compact Console Retractor Reviews
Reviewer: russ walby on 4/1/2013
A must have retractor! - I am so glad that ever after the price of this item I went ahead & got this retractor. The cord is plenty long enough and the power this has to hold what ever you chose in its place untill you trully need it. As far as being able to rely on it functioning with sand, salt or what ever you encounter & get on it / in it theres zero percent chance of it hanging up or getting stuck on you since it self cleans as its oppend and retracted. It comes with multiple anchor/fastners so you can mount it almost anywhere youd like. Cant say enough on what a great product this is. An absolute must have for the serious diver.

| Innovative Retractable Compass Reviews
Reviewer: Richard R. on 2/9/2012
OK, a bit bulky - The compass is obviously the same one they mount on wrist bungies, just mounted on a retractor instead. It could be a lot smaller if integrated into the retractor housing, but I understand what theyve done.
The retractor cable seems pretty tough, and the lock switch is nice...I extend the cable about 3" and lock it, just long enough to tuck the compass into my BCD zippered pocket when not in use while leaving it clipped to the nearest D-ring.
Actual compass dial seems very good though, hence the 4- vs. 3-star review. I like it better than the more easily locked-up dial on my now defunct Oceanic "Swiv" console.
