Not too bad,
September 29, 2012
By: JPort
from Maine
"I like having two accessories handy on one zinger. This product is basically as advertised. The only thing about it that I think could be improved is the strength of retraction on the lines. I have a pair of forceps hanging on one of the lines and they stretch pretty low, about 2 inches."

Double zinger good idea with one caveat,
September 27, 2011
By: phdezra
from New York, NY
"This is another zinger I own from Orvis. It has all the merits of their high quality zinger, but in TWIN mode. On the one hand, it's nice to have two items radily available on one zinger. But, I have found more utility out of my single line zingers that avoid bumping the utility items into each other. Still a very good product, but I prefer the singles."

"This is perfect for scissors/clippers and forceps/ketchum release with great length of travel and easy fixing to a fishing waistcoat. the only thing it needs to make it perfect is the magnetic capability of the single version Orvis make."

Horseshoe Zinger,
June 29, 2008
By: ecal54
from Missouri
"This thing is great! I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I love the fact that I can have my Ketchum Release tool and a pair of leader nippers easily accessible. I did not have a problem with the pin-on feature, in fact, I prefer the pin-on attachment to the clip-on kind. I am afraid the clip-on could get knocked off my vest. Also, the pin-on allows me to put the zinger where I want it and does not limit me to a pocket that is being used for storing my flies or other tools. Quiet, smooth operation"

Good Idea.......BUT !!!,
October 12, 2007
By: Firemedic
from Glendora, Ca
"This double zinger is a good idea, but it is available in pin-on only. The pin is not very secure and breaks easily. So instead of losing just one tool, now you can lose two tools at a time. The pin-on just does not hold up to the task . I wish it was clip-on. I have never lost a tool while using a clip-on zinger."
