Questions & Answers

Shopper : What is the retention force in ounces? Thank youMIKE L : Ounces? I do not know. I do know this, I use three on my dive gear. One to keep my computer close, and two (one on each side) on my camera. When not in use, the camera is against my chest, out of the way, and not hanging off my arm. These gear keepers work very well.
DEBORAH G : What is the size of the rectangle area of the retractor?PHILLIP C : long side is about 2 - 2.5 inchs short side is about 1.5 inches as i recall i do not have it in front of me right now but really like this retractor - have been using it for a couple dive seasons now.

Really strong retractor

I took this to Cabo Pulmo with me to try out using it as a retractor for my dive light for day dives. The light is an Orcatorch D530. I attached this to an O-ring on the BCD I rented and it worked really effectively. If anything, it's a little TOO strong but it wasn't too difficult pulling it out, and honestly it hung low enough that I could use the light without extending the retractor at all much of the time.

The old one wore out

I Purchased one of these in 2012 when I first got certified. 600 dives later the spring broke and would no longer retract so I had to buy a replacement. I hope the replacement does as well

Must have

I use the locking gear keeper to keep up with my light and large wrenches. It keeps the items handy and when needed, I can lock the retractor, let go of the tool, and have no fear of losing it. most of the time I don't need to lock it but when I do, it comes in mighty handy.

Works as advertised.

I use the retractor to hold my camera. When I'm not using the camera it is out of my way.

Quality retractor

I use this to secure my GoPro to my harness. It is pretty bulky, I may go with a slightly smaller one.

Good buy

Does the advertised job, and for the first time my camera is nicely tucked away behind me and not getting in the way. At first I thought the clip had broken and my camera was gone, but after a few moments of searching I found it behind me flush against my tank.

Nice keeper

Did a good job keeping camera in tow. Was comfortable releasing the camera at times in order to use both hands. Can be set to auto retract or lock in place. Just the right tension on the cord. Never felt like I was fighting it.
