If you are like me you love your 550 paracord; and what is not to love when there are literally dozens of uses for this nearly indispensable item.
If you are also like me you’ll find that getting your 550 out to use can be very frustrating if not a maddening affair. The same thing occurs when you try to store it; now your unruly cord is twisted, kinked, and has decided to form itself into a most unholy Gordian knot.
The Spool Tool
Well, there is an answer to our dilemma and leave it to a military veteran to come up with the “Spool Tool©”. This handy device allows you to tame and safely store up to 100 feet of paracord while giving you easy access to as much as you need without the hassle of the habitual, chaotic, tangled mess.
Spool Tool Blade
The Spool Tool© has incorporated a replaceable standard size utility blade that will allow you to cut your 550 to the length you desire, while leaving the remainder available on the spool. Oh and forget having to fight your paracord after it is cut while it unravels at the speed of light. There are eight multi-sized notches which will hold any sized cord firmly while you heat and secure the paracord ends.
Can’t find the lighter in your pocket to heat the ends of your 550 paracord? This has also been taken into consideration. A holder has been integrated on the side of the Spool Tool© which allows you to store a Mini-Bic® lighter so you never again are fumbling around trying to outwit your unraveling paracord.
This is an American made heavy duty tool that also features stainless steel hardware and is guaranteed to be free of defects in material and workmanship for life.
I have seen the Spool Tool advertised on Ebay, and Amazon, or you can purchase directly from the manufacturer with or without the cord already installed. This is a must for everyone serious about keeping their 550 paracord handy and ready at moments notice. You never can have too much 550 paracord and now we have a way to use it while leaving all the frustration in the past.
