Review: You can customize this (mounted on a Hydros Pro) - I saw another reviewer (Robert M) who did a similar install - I wanted to offer mine: Up front: I started with the multi-mount ($22) accessory that is meant to go with the Hydros Pro (but I assume you could do something similar with whatever BC you have) 1. ScubaPro Premium Retractor: I unscrewed the 4x screws that kept the overall housing together (be careful) 1a. Take out the plastic "Stop Button", (I had no use for this feature) leaving you with perfectly aligned holes. 2. I took out the bolt snap that came with it (this drastically reduces the overall size of the retractor)...immediately re-install the bolts to keep everything tight. 3. I purchsed the same bolts (but longer) from Home Depot (Stainless) 4. I hack-sawed about 1/8" from the purchased tipped screw (to keep the depth and prevent any sharp edges) 5. I kept the plastic washer, and mounted the retractor, using the "created holes" from the vacant "stop button" and into the "multi-mount". --- --- --- 6. I then unscrewed the existing 2x phillips head black screws from the other side, and replaced them with 2x eyelet screws (also from Home depot (stainless), same pattern... 7. I fished a zip-tie through these 2x eyelets, arount the multi-mount, and secured everything. Permanent mount, streamlined, and clean! You may notice I replaced the split ring with a black solid ring...this is just my OCD, and not needed. By all means, have at it! I hope this helps! Review: Retract lock is a PITA and cable cover fell apart - This scubapro gear keeper gets unwarranted praise. On the 5th dive the plastic that covers the cable started tearing apart. See picture. This causes the retract mechanism to bind and block. Total fail. I cannot believe this group of pro put this out there and they're testing did not reveal this clear design flaw. Then, the little button that locks the gear retract open or closed is constantly locking open or locking closed on its own. So you go to pull out your camera or flashlight or whatever you have it attached to and it's locked closed all on its own preventing you from pulling your device out. You have to reach up fiddle with the button to unlock it, stretch your arm out to light your subject or film your subject, and then it often locks again so your device is just hanging there, not retracting. I'm going to tape mine permanently shut so it doesn't lock open or closed. I am normally a fan of scuba pro products but this one is a complete fail. It's easily twice the price of other devices. I strongly recommend you do not invest the money on this POS. Just buy some cheap ones and replace them every couple of years. ## Features - A must-have accessory for tech divers, the SCUBAPRO premium retractor features an extractable 3.6-foot (1.1-meter) cord with a pull force of 1 pound (0.5kg). - It includes a key ring for attaching an exposure meter, octopus, computer, compass, and similar clip-on gear. - Once extracted, the cord can be locked by the push of a button. - The retractor comes with a premium finish and a stainless steel bolt snap. - Backed by a 1-year manufacturer's limited warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07887B6GF | | Best Sellers Rank | #385,569 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #228 in Diving Regulator Accessories | | Brand Name | SCUBAPRO | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (126) | | Date First Available | December 13, 2017 | | Hand Orientation | Not Available | | Included Components | Retractor | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 2.7 x 3.8 x 1.3 inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 9.92 x 3.39 x 1.26 inches | | Item Weight | 0.3 Pounds | | Manufacturer | SCUBAPRO | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Premium Retractor w/Stop | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Weight | 0.14 Kilograms | | Part Number | 28.553.000 | | Size | None or Other | | Style | Premium Retractor W/Stop | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | ## Images ![Premium Retractor with Snap - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lT7Oj7XYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many feet does it extend?** A: Thank you for your message, The Scubapro Retractor has the following length: Extractable 3.6ft/1.1m cord has a pull force of 1lb/0.5kg.We hope this answers your question, Please let us know if we can further help in any way.  Thank you, Your HouseofScuba Team HouseofScuba **Q: Could this be used with a flashlight? on my bcd** A: Hi Phil, If the flashlight has a fixture that you can attach the snap you, you can absolutely use the retractor.

I think the spring should be tighter so the cable doesn’t just hang out if you don’t have it locked. And the little lock button is easy to get unlocked. If the cable had a tighter spring, I think it would be better. I still use it because these things are pricey. ## Frequently Bought Together - SCUBAPRO Premium Retractor with Snap - Protective Housing (HERO9 Black) - Official GoPro Accessory - Mares Unisex Adult Handy Compass - Black, One Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/80084899-premium-retractor-with-snap](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/80084899-premium-retractor-with-snap) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
