Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Cons

This review is for the smaller none locking defender. Lasted 2 weeks, and is now stuck. Locked up on me within 20 minutes of ownership.

The cord/spooling mechanism hangs up often and does not retract. It barely fits over my simms wader belt. The retraction is very weak and barley pulls the gerber nipper in.

Quality


This is a well made lanyard the should last for years.


The line is excellent and the retract works exceptionally well.


Simply unscrew pin, push though material like a lapel pin attaches and screw in pin to make a secured attachment!


I’ve bent it so many times it has finally broke.

Price


Totally worth the price, considering that you won't be replacing it anytime soon.


It is expensive for this purpose, if it lasts a year or two it is worth it.


I will keep it, but a little $ for what it actually does.

Competitiveness


Theyre way above the million other junky retractors on the market.


Surprised orvis does not make or sell one as good as gerber, but they don’t.

    I had the gerber freehander hooked to it

    I did need two hands to take it off of my beltloop so dont worry about it falling off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Hit the button again and retract the line


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This defender compact does not have a lock out function so there will always be some tension on the cable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some tethers are to strong keeping the line too taunt


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The gerber defender compact tether worked way better than i though it would


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Dont be discouraged by those dumb videos of actors dangling tethered scissors from their bodies exposing a sharp tool to chance
