In particular the Surefire Lobster Claw type.
I've had LOTS of trouble in the past with the claw coming undone and allowing my lights to fall. Not a big deal unless you are riding your bike with your pricey M6 with a triple P7 head on it and it falls head first for the second time in two weeks and cracks the window:sick2::thumbsdow
I should have learned the first 10-15 times it happened. I stopped using lanyards for a while, but the other night I went through some old stuff and found them and decided to try 'em out again...forgetting about what has happened before.
They are fine for SMALL things, but I advise never to use the Claw type while around a potentially light destoying or losing situation. I'm going to refinish all my lanyards with small hoop rings to avoid this kind of crap happening yet again in the future.
So to finish my rant.....
:thumbsdow:thumbsdow...I HATE SUREFIRE LANYARD CLASPS!!.... (for flashlight use):thumbsdow:thumbsdow
