Review on Scuba Choice Palantic Lobster Handle by Wayne Drakh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Appears to be of good quality but has not been used

First impression is good. The metal parts appear to be of good quality, the fabric and stitching also appear to be good. I received a bag that was gifted to me a long time ago, it was great and I've used a bunch. it was like that but bigger and the nylon went all the way down just a little mesh to drain but the mesh didn't go up the sides at all. I've also tried mesh bags a few times and they are rubbish. Anything that has a web outside the ground is auto junk. it goes up a bit but I expect it to be below the threshold I'm looking for. My biggest potential complaint about this is that the hole opens a full 360 degrees. My other stops at 180 degrees so it's fully open with one hand. This one will open up outside the home and lie on top of itself. I don't think that will be a problem in the water, but it's something I'm concerned about. I looked at spring one handed devices but they were twice the size of this one and I was concerned about durability. The one I have now is very old and while it still works fine, it creaks and if it had springs and sliding parts I don't think it would work as well, if at all. With something like this I tend to go for simple ones, less breakage and more room for worn parts that still work. I will update this after a few uses if needed.
