We always need to attach more stuff to our equipment to free up our hands when we need them. Lanyards for lights, cameras, gauges, game bags, or maybe even a fish stringer when spear fishing. Retractors are one of the greatest ways to do this. When you need to use the attached, item all you need to do is pull the item and extended the retractor cord. When done, the retractor will reel in the item safe and out of the way.
Retractors not only keep us from losing important accessories, they also protect both the accessory and the dive environment. Items that hang from our equipment can break coral or damage the accessory, but retractors prevent this. The XS Scuba Micro Retractor is their smallest and lightest retractor to date. The Micro Retractor measure only 1.5" x 1.3" x 0.4" (38mm x 33mm x 10mm). The retractor is recommended for whistles, lobster gauges, slate pencils and small knives. It attaches to the diver with carabiner locking style snap clip and attaches to gear with 7/8" stainless steel split ring. Made from durable plastic with a Sectra/Nylon cable that extends to 36" (91cm), with a pull force of 2.5 oz. (7 g) and the cable line has a breaking strength of 40 lbs. (18 kg).
