Pretty cool, I’ve never owned one this long…
By iam1ru on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2025
So far so good. It’s a very large housing of course because it’s so long. But so far, I pretty impressed with it. The retraction is very nice. I was worried that if it were enough tension to be able to retract something this long, that it would be just too uncomfortable for the pup to pull the thing out. Especially if you have a dog that is trained not to have a pulling, or yanking when on leash habit. That doesn’t seem to be the case, though there is definitely some tension, I don’t believe it will be enough so that they are not able to get used to it. My favorite thing about this product and design is the mechanism to lock and unlock. It blows my mind how many of these I have owned where it seems like they have taken the need to simply lock and unlock their ability to extend it any further, tried to get fancy, and instead, have made it damn near unusable, but at minimum, frustrating as hell, for no good damn reason. This think has a button to lock and a button to unlock, and it SIMPLY works perfectly every time. How nice is that, for crying out loud. Eeesh I wish that sometimes people would just live by that old adage if it works fine PLEASE don’t try and fix it. OyVey..🤦🏻

Awkward and dangerous
By Susan H. on Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
This item gets one star as faint praise for its strong lead line. Other than that, I can't recommend another thing about it. The hand hole is ergonomically awkward. The let-out and lock buttons are also ergonomically incorrect. The lock button is closest to the handle and is higher than the let-out button in front of it, which means one's thumb has to reach over the higher button at an awkward. In a situation needing quick action, this is problematic--and sometimes requires two hands to operate and keep the furbaby safe. Neither of the buttons works all the time. About 50% of the time, they don't click into place. Dangerous!! I walk two dogs at the same time on a retractable leash each (have done for 7 years now) and find that this leash is the worst I've ever used. I think this is a case of you get what you pay for. I ordered two and am returning both before we have a mishap due to the faulty design of this item.
