You don't need this when buying Mark 1 Economy Stopwatch Prism Pack. The stopwatches have their own lanyard. I hate it when the bundling made it appear that the stopwatches don't have their own lanyard. I felt scammed. The lanyards are strong though. I just don't have any use for it.It seems like all lanyard descriptions leave out pertinent details like the type of end. They all just describe the length and material. No mention of the type of end so you're left with looking at the product photos.I looked at several different lanyards before deciding on this one. I chose it because the photo at the time i purchased it showed the kind of end I needed: A loop end I could use for a cell phone or walkie talkie. Most others had a metal hook end that was too large.When I received it, the ends were the metal hooks. Totally annoying and useless to me.These are basic cheap lanyards but they do the job I needed them to do. I would recommend them as a good productIt is what it isA reliable, if not the best looking, lanyard. I just needed these for clickers for dog training and they have suited their purpose quite well.Great price and quality for the money. Use these for my astronomy group for flashlights or whistles so they are readily available.
