Hi Guys,

Never used one before but the theory behind it looks good and cheap enough to give it a try!

£5.89 Delivered

Just thought I'd share!

There have been a few discussions on here about them...of which, I think the consensus seemed to be that they were well worth the money. I think I recall someones expensive phone (in a drypack) being saved from the murky depths.

Been meaning to get a few, so thanks for the reminder!

My first one activated (in my dry bag in the garage) about two hours after I had stupidly left the keys in the ignition whilst I hosed the rib down. The second one went off when we were having a particularly splashy trip in the solent. So they do work but I've gone back to a cork for the keys.
Cheers
Neil

I don't have any floaty things on my keys. It's all about getting into a good habit

When in the ignition the lanyard is secured around the helm and when with me they are either in a zip pocket or fastened to my belt clip. Never lost them yet

Check the reviews for them. Earlier stock had a high failure rate.

The other issue is their rating. They are rated for a kilo at the surface. There is a short delay on the trigger mechanism, so if you loose something in 20m, it will lift, what, 334g? If it fires.

FWIW, someone gave me two. I gave one away and still have the other. I don't use it

Yep, probably

But I'm less likely to put a ruddy BIG cork in my pocket and hence drop it in the abundance

£6.30 Delivered but still cheap, my mate paid £11 for the one .

I have two, but word of warning, one went off a while ago from splashing and the balllon had a slight hole in it, so of course if it had dropped in the water everything would have been lost.

Waterbouy sent me a new one free of charge but i'm not convinced they will work every time. Nothing beats a cork..
