Review on Gear Keeper RT5 5802 Retractor Extension by Steve Brethorst

I thought this item was ok. It does its job but not as well as I thought it would, the retractor itself seems weak. I'm a firefighter and I rely on my mic to be right where I want and need it. I hope that one day I don't have to rush to my mic to report trouble because I'm in trouble and if my mic isn't where it's supposed to be I'm wasting time trying to find it. Seconds in this task are taken into account. I cannot trust this product with my life. When my mic is on the key ring, the cord comes out and just hangs there. The retractor should have some slack on the line when I pull on it and a very light mic is attached. I recommend buying a slightly more expensive one.
