Kerbl Flexi New Comfort Retractable Tape Lead, Large, 8 m, Grey

Though a little heavy at first, I like this lead, easy to lock, and robust. I was about to let my dog off the lead in the park when he spotted a squirrel that I hadn't, he took off, not wanting my arm taken out of its socket as he weighs about 40 kg I let go and the lead stood up well to being dragged and bumped about for about 30 meters or so, a few scratches is all the lead suffered, with squirrel safely up the tree and looking down at my dog with a look as to say you are a fool. Very good buy, would recommend if you have a large dog.

I bought the medium weight as my dog is a hefty puller on the lead, and the 5m long one. I used to have the 3m, but the 5m seems even better. I feel any longer you would not be able to have any control if you needed it, so 5m is good. I was not impressed with the colour selection on offer, I bought the green which is nice, its not too bright. The lead seems well made, it is easy to use, there is a little instruction booklet that comes with it, but actually if you are not used to this type of lead it is worth watching a quick video on Youtube on how to use it correctly, it is worth knowing how to use it properly, because it is pretty nifty. I have smallish hands for a woman, so the adjustable setting for the grip size is actually really good, it allows you to access the buttons/switch on the top without having to twist your hand or stretch. I have used the Flexi leads which do not have the adjustable grip size, and it is worth paying a tiny bit more for. It appears to only be an option on the medium & large size leads.

Got this to use with my 24kg lurcher whilst in the fields. I take her to the fields on a normal lead then change over to the extension when it’s safe to do so. I would not use it near a road as you can’t retract it if the dog pulls or is startled and bolts. It’s very sturdy and holds her secure when she’s in the hedgerows or sees a rabbit etc. Just be careful not to do what I did when I first got it....she went to run towards some dogs and my instant reaction was to grip the lead, which slid through my fingers like a razor leaving extremely deep cuts to my fingers. Won’t be doing that again! Would definitely recommend but never grip the lead!!

As owners of four dogs, we have bought many of these in the past and always gone with the tape as it is (alledgedly) better the cord and purchased from the smaller and cheaper brands right up to the more renown and expensive brands such as Flexi. To be honest we have found little issue with the cheaper brands and only noticed that the build quality is a little better as is the comfort levels on the Flexi brand but even these do not come without one major flaw that can be found when using with persistent pullers and medium+ sized dogs with a little strength. This issue involves 'slipping' after a while when engaging the stop. The ideal period of use from new on these retractable leads is 18 months but we have never made it anywhere near that length of time before needing to replace on the lead used by our medium sized but strong Beagle despite ordering the next weight size up. Although training has slowed his tendency to pull, he still utilises his strength when releasing the extent of the lead for a run. With a new lead you encounter no issues as such wbut after a couple of months on each and every retractable lead we have purchased, we begin to experience an increasing case of 'slipping. By slipping I mean where you engage the lock on the lead and rather than stop the dog immediately, the lead gives a stretching sensation where the lead slips a short distance (around half a meter in our experience) which can be particularly worrying around roads. You will notice that I have given a four star rating to this lead which I feel it does deserve because the product is really well made, looks great and is of a great build quality and finally because I do not think this is a fault of Flexi but more in the overall design of retractable leads from any company in relation to larger or stronger dogs. To sum up I would not hesitate to recommend Flexi retractable leads as we honestly think they are a great brand but please be aware of the potential slipping issues, which we have encountered with all brands, and ensure that your dog is fully secure near roads or other hazards... to combat this we use a standard training lead for the road section of the walk and change to retractable for more open and safer areas to allow them to run as a reward for the obedience on the roadside.

Possibly the best lead I've used. Some leads feel like the mechanism is jerking inside when the dog pulls but this one seem significantly more sturdy. This is particularly important if you've got a big dog or one that pulls a lot. I presume that the larger models would be stronger still. I feel a lot more comfortable with the tape version to the string as i've seen a string unwind, he model I bought was the tap lead but felt stronger still than my previous one. Almost a thicker, stronger weave. I know there was a previous model, between the classic and this one that broke a bit. I don't have any concern with this one, plus it is fully compatible with all the extras you can get, like the light ( which i have and is also pretty handy) and the bag/treat holder. Definitely one of the better leads on the market.

This is the 3rd time I’ve purchased this product. Great quality, I tend to change them much more regularly than most dog owners would but that’s because it’s to hold back a husky that pulls quite a lot. Unlike some flexi leads it doesn’t rub or hurt the inside of you hand, there’s no sticking with tape and it’s very sturdy. You can also add poo bag attachments on to it, making it easy to get to. One tip - if it’s wet weather or your dog likes going into water, make sure you fully extend the lead and drape over a radiator to dry off. It dries within a couple of minutes, otherwise it will smell musty and mould will form!

Tolle Leine, Handlich, Schöne Farbe und erfüllt ihren Zweck ! Gerne wieder !

Çok kaliteli ve kullanışlı. Ancak elleriniz büyükse tam kavramanız mümkün değil. Almadan önce buna dikkat etmenizi öneririm.

Cómoda. Tiene 8m y resiste tirones. Pesa un poco pero nada que no se pueda soportar. Hemos repetido.

ハーネス、リード共にユリウスです。この商品の凄いとこはやはり丈夫さと使いやすさ。大型犬で8メートルのリードで走り回しても素材自体にダメージないです。安心して使える商品です。おすすめです

思ったとおりの商品で良かったです。
