2 Pack - Heavy Duty Retractable Pull Pen Holder - Ideal for Markers & Carpenter Pencils - Nylon Cable, Self Retracting Reel & Tight Metal Belt Clip Retractable Carpenter Pencil Holder by Reel-N-Rite

This item has been so effective in useful in my line of work. Very easy to attach to my belt, pants, and at times the pocket of my jacket. I use the regular size Sharpies with this item and I have no problems with the Sharpie nor does it slip out. The length is perfect and has been very durable. Very pleased!

I love these pencil holders! I saw one being used in a YouTube video and thought I have to have one. Have used it for a week putting up vinyl siding and so far worth the purchase. I use a full-size pencil, but a shorter one would be a little easier to use.

Love the concept and convenience. Now I ALWAYS know where my pencil is. Sometimes the pencil pops out of the holder and wish the cord size was about 6” longer. Decent value for the money.

The clamshell design allows you to disassemble it to replace the cord when it wears or breaks. Just like all good tape measures that allow you to replace worn tape blades, this has a Phillips screw through the central axle you remove to open it. I use 50-lb braided line made for fishing line. It is much tougher than the original cord and lasts longer. Don't waste your money on the cheap all-plastic version of this because when they stop working they cannot be repaired. BRAVO to the maker for providing a user-serviceable item. It reduces the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill.

So far, so good! Either clipped to my tool belt or my shirt, it works great. Still has great tension. It's saved me a step if I'm writing measurements and marking cuts. I can drop my pencil and run instead of jamming it in my pocket and breaking it later or forgetting where I set it. I gave the other one to my coworker and he uses it all the time.

Good grip, fit a few different sized pencils. Nicely made too.

The product is a great idea. I'm a carpenter, so something like this is handy to just clip on my cover alls and roll out. It just needs some modifications. The string isn't long enough. If you have to reach up and mark for rafters you have to take it off, which defeats the purpose. So I put the mold on my lighter leash and boom, perfect. Making the string longer is literally all that needs to be done in my opinion.

I bought these for my epoxy coated pens. I didn't factor in the pens having clicker tops, but figured oh well, I'll just remove the pen when I need to open and close it, umm, no, that pen is in there for the long haul. I'm a little envious of the commitment this holder has to the pen. Wondering if the pen holder has a human brother. Asking for a friend.

Great for a workshop scenario with projects on workbench or stools, however I need them to have a longer reach using on a site situation as a builder to quickly reach over items or overhead use

Great product. Well made, sturdy. Works great

Pencil at my finger tips. No searching

The product is great,

Ordered these for my husband as the ones he bought from Lee Valley disintegrated. These appear sturdy and relatively rugged. Will have to see how they stand up with use but appear well built ,so we shall see:)
