3 out of 5 stars One size doesn't fit all in this case   December 31, 2008
The magnet is strong and the price is right. I'll give this product that. But the description claims that it's one size fits all, and it doesn't fit me. It is loose - really, really loose. Not to hammer this one home too much, but it practically hangs halfway down the palm of my hand at its tightest setting. Obviously it's supposed to stay around a person's wrist.

Now, I realize I'm a woman, and men have bigger wrists, and perhaps no man would have this issue, but I kind of doubt it. I'm not a tiny little girl, and it's WAY loose. The strap is held on with velcro, and it seems like it wouldn't be that much of a big deal for the manufacturer to increase the amount of velcro on the strap to cover more of it, thereby allowing a tighter fit.

Basically, I can't wear it on my wrist. When I'm working, I can't have something sliding up and down my entire forearm as I move around, plus dangling down into my hand. What I've ended up doing is attaching it to my tool belt and using the magnet there, which is okay, but not as convenient as if it were on my wrist.
