I usuly put the coiled snipper line in there for about 2 mins and then quickly remove and then quenched the mendral in icy cold water to set the coils.

I do know of one lanyard still going strong 3 years fter being made and being carried on one guy who works full time and uses the tool attached near enough full time also...

Good quality materials is key i guess.
They look fantastic! What's the trick to thread the line through the paracord? I've just tried it and I couldn't get it to thread.
