Old school but still cool

Pros
Locking carabiners
Stretchy
Comfortable to use
Cons
Lack of swivel at attachment point
Familiarity
I’ve used it a ton

I bought a set of these used from a guy on Facebook Marketplace. They're a solid leash that will keep your tools attached in places where you can't afford to lose one.

They're stretchy enough to allow for long reaches without pulling the tool back into you, but they don't get in the way when moving around. The locking carabiners were a huge plus for me, personally. I use a set of 2017 Nomics and clip these into the lower handle, and I hardly notice them.

My one criticism is the lack of a swivel at the harness attachment point. It would be nice to not have to worry about getting tangled up when switching hands. Not a huge deal if you're aware of it, but it can be a little annoying at times.
