Atwood Rope MFGTactical 550 Paracord Parachute Cord Rope Dispenser 50ft Spool TRD | Cutting Blade, Belt Clip, Cord Grip, View Port, Integrated Ruler

Cool little gadget, seems to be well made. CountyComm came out with a paracord dispenser years ago they still sell. Its a climbing type carabiner with a Delrin spool that slots onto the biner. This is definitely better and costs half as much. One suggestion I might humbly suggest to the maker would be to add a slot or some way to secure a standard Bic lighter to the dispenser. Maybe a just a mini Bic. I've been using 550 cord for decades and I've rarely seen it used without melting the ends to prevent fraying. A rubberband or shock cord would work on this one but not ideally. Obviously if your using the inner strands you wouldnt need to melt it but thats a far less used option imho. All in all its a great little tool when you might need some cord on the go. The cord itself seems to actually be 550cord instead of the cheaper weaker stuff you can find in walmart. I havent tried opening it yet to see how reloading will work. Its definitely not gonna come apart unintentionally. Mine will likely stay in the car but I also ordered the mini version for my man purse....uh... i meant my backpack. Great now I've lost my excuse for not making everyone zipper pulls and bracelets....Still its great to have some cordage on you when you actually need it.

Ask any Army veteran (at least), most people who are into one or more aspects of survival preparation, outdoors, Scouting, or any one of a huge variety of reasons, and there's at least 550 reasons to have easy access to some of this cordage. Unfortunately, it can be a monster to manage, but this spool makes it incredibly easy.On top of that, this unit has a cutting (scalpel) blade that can be easily used one-handed while dispensing the cord, a short ruler section (about 2 inches or so), a removable belt clip, and a top-rail attachment point, if clipping it to a belt isn't your thing.

sold as described. recieved what i expected and should perform well enough for it's purpose. reviews have mentioned that it seems cheap and flimsy. this device dispenses 550 cords; it does not drive nails and it does not change tires. customers have complained that it rattles. this item is plastic, it stores and dispenses 550 cord, 100 feet of 550 cord is loaded and ready for what ever you use 550 cord for. the belt clip is the piece that rattles. the belt clip is large and sturdy if you are the type that needs 550 cord at all times. for all the ninjas that move silently, that clip is easy to remove. there are no bearings or bolts to wrestle with. the cord reel is incased by a two sided case that snaps together. simple, no suprises. there are devices offered by competing companies that will help to organize the storage bin of various 550 cord i use when color coordinting is important. they are even more simple in their design but also pricey for not being sold with 100ft of 550 cord included. decided to order the color coyote and it's dark not desert tan. this is going in my tool bag and will work nicely when bike camping or lake and stream fishing. enough features to be considered a tool not just a storage device. not perfect but it would cost much more if it were

This product is as its described and would serve as a useful addition to any backpacking gear or survival kit!

It works exactly as expected the only thing is opening it to replenish the rope is hard but I wasn't expecting it to come with rope which is a great upside

Years ago I had this idea, using a tape measure as an inspiration. This one may actually be based on a weed eater spool feed. Doesn't matter, this design is smart, and uses a reusable, reloadable spool.

This is a great tool stores and cuts my para cord perfectly

thought his would have been better constructed with a higher density plastic or polymer. Its kind of thin. It rattles alotnand is kind of sloppy. Its almost guaranteed if you drop this it will break

You should try it !

the cutter works well. wish it had a rewind option

I use this for my treks and find it super. No more rummaging through the bag to find the tangled ball of annoyance and spend 2/3rds of the trip untangling paracord. Highly recommended.

Good price and good product.
