Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What if I get mine and realize it's plastic, or realize it's made of paracord and want to return it because dont like that.
A: I use the word plastic over 14 times in this description, including the FAQ, and the word paracord is in the title of the listing as well as numerous times in the description. I would suggest that reading the description fully before purchasing something is always a good practice. I cannot be responsible for issues arising from failure to fully read the detailed descriptions of the construction materials or look at the pictures prior to purchase. I will not accept returns based on the item being exactly as described.
Q: My lanyard was shipped to the address I provided to through Paypal/Ebay during checkout, but that isnt my address...can you send me another one?
A: No. There is a verification process during checkout that you are supposed to check that information. If you failed to update your address after a move, or for whatever reason, I cannot be resposible for the loss of money in replacing the item. I will, however, send a notification to the post office advising that it was misdelivered and ask for it to be redirected. This issue has come up exactly twice, and one time the lanyard was found and redelivered, the second time it was not. Please verify your address during checkout so you get what you ordered!
Q: Can you make me a custom one, or in a different color, or longer/shorter, or with different hardware?
A: Short answer is "no". I buy paracord in 1000' spools of Black. The shortest length of the quality I use is 100'....that makes about 5 lanyards of one color. if I make them 2 colors, then I have to buy two 100' lengths, and can make 10 with it. That means if you want a pink/purple lanyard, that after I sell you one I'm stuck with enough cordto make 9 more that will likely not sell. I know this because I used to do it, and got drowned in weird colors that I'm still trying to sell from time to time. I buy my hardware the same way, in batches of 100 to 500. I just dont have the means to make special orders...sorry.
Q: Are the plastic bullring and plastic carabiners really that durable?
A: YES. I work in Corrections, and I've used my original lanyard since 2013, and I haven't had anyissues at all with the plastic hardware. I carry a keyring on it daily that has a Folger-Adams key, two to four Adtek keys, a Mogul key and up to eightstandard keys with no issues at all. If the plastic carabiner still concerns you, wal-mart sells aluminum carabiners 2 for about (in the automotive/towing/tool section). I used one for a while on my prototype, and it would still clear the metal detector half the time. I make these so that the plastic carabiner can be easily removed/replacedif you choose, but you’d have to cut off the plastic bullring to replace it with a carabiner. You might be able to get a metal ring and open it enough to slide it on, then clamp it back closed...or use a keyring. YMMV.
Q: How do you attach it?
A: You can either use a standard belt clip (like a ZakTool), a regular single width (1") belt keeper, or just run the lanyard behind your belt, and run the carabiner endthrough the plastic ring (which will reduce the usable length by a couple inches.) I usea standard 1" velcro belt keeper without any issues.
Q: Where should I attach it to my belt at?
A: If you look straight down at a person from above their head, and think of a clock...straight forward is 12 o’clock, and directly behind is 6 o’clock...I prefer to attach mine to my belt at about the 1 or 2 o’clock position. If you’re left-handed, then 10 or 11 would work well. I’ve seen a few people wear theirs at 3 and even 4 o’clock. It’s all a matter ofwhatever works for you.
Q: Have you had any complaints or issues with these yet?
A: No. Not a single one that wasn't due to failing to read the description (3 people have complained that the ring and carabiner were *gasp* plastic and one that it was made of paracord). I encourage everyone that’s purchased one to write an honest review. If you have any issues, please let me know so I can address it for you, and in futureconstruction. I have sold these to Police Departments, Jailers, State Corrections Officers in multiple states, TSA agents, Security Guards, and even made one for a lady in a wheelchair that wanted an easy way to retrieve dropped keys. These things are solid!
Q: I accidentally machine washed it, and the shrink wrapping is a little loose now...what do I do?
A: Use a cigarette lighter and slowly run the flame over the shrink wrapping, it should shrink down a little tighter. Be careful not to leave the flame on the bare paracord for too long since it'll melt. You might be able to get this to work twice, maybe not, so be careful not to wash it in a machine too many times. I recommend handwashing, if/as needed. If the wrap is beyond repair, you can usually find it at any electrician store, and I've even seen it at Harbor Freight. It's just 3/4" electrical wire heatshrink that I slide on for aesthetic reasons. The lanyard will still work just fine and remain just as secure without it.
