Fida Retractable Dog Lead, 5m Heavy Duty Pet Walking Leash for Small Dog up to 12kg, Tangle Free. One-Hand Brake (Small,Black)

Instructions are pretty well scaremongering, but using common sense should prevent any injuries (facial and finger amputation.) Used these before without incident but now have much stronger dog. Time will tell how strong the ratchet is.

The lead is of good quality and works well, better thank the rope ones.The only problem I find is, being a man, the finger grip is a tad to small, I can only just get the handle up to my knuckles, which is fine except when winter comes and I need to wear gloves, i won't be able to get my hands in.

Perfect

Really like that it's light. The cable can tangle and have a knot but easy to fix. I'm new to using any lead so no comparison but it is quite silentish and does not drag pet back if accidentally unlock for withdrawal.I gave only 4 stars for everything on detail purely because I have no experience to do comparison.Addition: after using it for months I have to admit that majority of the time I'm struggling with the locking mechanism. It either stuck or when I think it is set it unlocks. Let me put it this way: I will not replace it unless it breaks but I will not buy it again.The tape style string can burn your hand if your pet shoots out and you were holding it - but I don't think it is a fault just mentioning in case you are tempted. I still do but now I know if that happens then I just let it go. 😜

Sturdy good looking lead but I dont think it’s for small dogs, the tension is too strong. The point of a retractable lead marketed for a small dog is that there is less tension on the lead than for a larger weighted dog. This lead has a much tension on the collar as one of my larger retractable leads for 20kg plus dogs.

Good value for money. Works well.

Useless product. The lead tore a little the first time we used it to walk the dog. The second time we used it it snapped completely and he ran off into traffic. Luckily he didn't get hit or cause an accident. He is a 7kg border terrier and we were using the large size lead which should in theory be appropriate for large dogs like labs, rottweilers etc. Shows just how flimsy it is. The handle is good and comfortable but the lead itself is a flimsy piece of ribbon. Avoid.

Lead mechanism was quite noisy initially and the plastic felt slightly flimsy - but after a couple of months of use it seems fine.
