Key ring fobs/zipper pulls

[asemery]

At a flea marked I recently found paracord in our local school colors. I made these key ring fobs/zipper pulls. I have my favorites and a couple I don't like at all. I will see how friends and neighbors feel and make more of the popular ones to give away. Tony

Here's my C & C from 53N when I'm out the door in 30" snow overnight to shovel a path to the street:

I'm going to be wearing a Carhartt coat with a zipper front and some zipper pockets. Big snowmobile gloves.
1. I don't like the pulls with the clip-type fasteners. Just too easily rubbed open. Might never see it fall in the snow, won't find that until spring.
2. I like the colors, going to be easy to spot any time in th eopen on the ground.
3. I like the split-ring fasteners. I've got to be able to pull on the tabs with my gloves (or mitts) and the rings won't easily open at all.

I like the big rings (middle left) and the straight tabs with the Turk's Head(?) knots at the end. Good stopper if the pulls get wet & icy.
Half a dozen, middle right style but with big rings, will be fine, thank you.

The waitstaff and other employees at local restaurants prefer the clip style fastener. It is easy to clip the fob to their apron or name tag. The split ring is more practical for the reasons you indicate

keep going - use what you have when you have it - that is the point after all. I just signed back in after too long away to try and resurrect my paracord hobby - rusty but hoping to pick it back up!
