Product Description

Unique flared design allows for easy winding while wearing gloves, as well as an outer grip for comfort.
The spool is not over-wound, allowing for the addition of more line if necessary.
When 'tying off,' use a high-tensile line leader to avoid damaging the main line.
To increase the strength of the line, it is sewn rather than tied.
The orange line is ideal for low-light situations.

Questions & Answers

In millimeters, how big is the line's diameter and how strong is it?

It's a 2 mm wide, 1 mm thick flat line. And it's a monster. It looked like a tiny braided webbing tube to me.

What makes this spool so special compared to a $35 plastic spool?

Design. Apeks put a LOT of high-quality and qualified thought into the design of this tiny, simple item. Let us not forget that it is a piece of mandatory safety equipment and the circumstances surrounding its creation. Blood is written on the safety rules. Every detail of this device has been carefully considered in order to ensure that it can carry out a critical task effectively and under difficult conditions. Don't get me wrong: I'm a big believer in the power of positive thinking When I bought mine, it hurt my wallet, but it was well worth it, in my opinion. Yes. You can get by with a lot less money and achieve the same result, but don't forget that quality tools are more enjoyable to use, or at the very least require a lot less effort. Consider yourself on a drift dive with a rippling current. You and your friend become separated, and after a minute of searching, you decide to return to the surface. It's a cold day. Maybe your gloves are too thick, or your fingers are numb. You can still use your DSMB without any problems. You must now re-educate yourself on the surface. While looking for your buddy and the boat, coil all that line with gloves in cold water and rough chop. You want something as simple as possible, something that will take up as little of your mental bandwidth as possible while you work in whatever situation you find yourself in.

What is the diameter of the hole? I'm looking for a glove that fits 7mm gloves. ?

Your finger will not fit into the 7mm hole if you use a 15 meter purple spool. I just pinch it between my fingers and it works fine; the rig's quality is excellent.

Is there a connection between the line and the spook at the hub?

Hello, and thank you for contacting me with your inquiry. It is, in fact, connected to the hub. Thank you, br>Divemaster Chrisbr>866- 728- 2293br>Onlinescuba is a website that provides information about scuba diving in the United States.

Selected User Reviews For Apeks LifeLine Finger Spool

It's the ideal size for 15-foot safety stops because it's small and tidy
5/5

These reels are the best, but they are also the most expensive. However, if you use a reel on every dive, you will not be concerned about the additional costs because you will enjoy them. br>br>It looks fantastic. br>It feels good and is very tactile. br>Line length is color coded. br>It's a great idea to swivel on end to avoid tangles. br>Bright color with a strong line.

Spool is fantastic! This was a fantastic spool of yarn! Saint Kitts and Nevis was our destination for a week
5/5

This spool was small enough to fit in a pocket and fastened to the BCD with a snap. I used it a couple of times to deploy my dsmb; it was easy to spool out and reel in. Anyone looking for a high-quality spool should consider this product.

Apeks delivers exactly what you've come to expect
5/5

It's of good quality; however, it would be nice if it came with instructions on how to secure it to SMBs.
