Lixit Bracket Mount and Stake Retractable Leash Tie Outs for Dogs (Stake, Large)

Works great for temp install using bungee cords
Used to tether my dog at campsite. Attached to my RV rail by the door with bungee cords and works excellent for my 23lb Mini Aussie. . She no longer gets tangled up. And is not able to chew it and break it as she did with the retractable leash used previously. Very pleased with this purchase

Clean design, but pulls dog too hard
I bought this model because it was a great way to minimize my pup getting caught in the cord while outside with me. My goal was to have a 360 / retractable lead with a clean look on the lawn. Here are my conclusions after 3 weeks:The Retractable/360 element is somewhat helpful. Dogs are not likely to get tangled up back and forth on the cord itself. I liked that this model also came with a cord instead of some that were just 360 swivels.The circular piece makes for a clean look on the lawn – keeps the cord from getting in the way while mowing. It’s big enough that we don’t miss it but it’s not unsightly.Unfortunately, the nature of this retractable lead is that it constantly pulls on your dog. I got the medium first, and quickly learned that my beagle is constantly uncomfortable. A harness would probably help, but I worry about strain in his neck with a normal collar. When larger dogs visit, it is a less significant tug but still not good for casual outdoor doggy naps. There is a small rubber piece to keep the leash extended and give them some relief, but that somewhat defeats the point.The rubber stopper has also worn out (after around 2 weeks of daily use) to the point that it will slowly slide back down the cord.I ended up buying a small model for my beagle to see if that will pull less hard. He is around 30lbs (a bit overweight). If that solves it, I’ll update here!

Works great
Our big boys (100lb ea) love having the freedom to check out the surroundings. They’re only on a lead when we travel and always supervised but I can attest to the durability as they have attempted to do some squirrel chasing! I love that I can put them, I have two tie outs, just far enough apart that the boys can lay close to each other but not get tangled up.

I have 2 large afghan hounds, and they make good rough use out of these. We have ours hooked up to a zip line spanning the length of our yard, and they will run back and forth slamming the reel in to the edges of the line. With that kind of daily use, we replace these once a year. Even after the year, they are still in good shape, however, age, and weather, along with rough use, makes it a greater risk of failure. I buy 2 of these every year. Worth it!! If you are just using it as a standard tie out with no regular stress or tension, they will most likely last longer. Do NOT use the screws that come with the unit! Use longer screws as the ones that come with the reel are NOT deep enough to hold.

Item idea is great. Used it under a week and it’s completely stopped the issues we were having with our old tie out. We’ve used it under a week though and the corrosion is extensive. It’s not from scrapes or being dropped either and we have a lurtcher so the item isn’t near the ground. Unfortunately disappointed at the quality of the clip and some parts of the black outer casing has started to “blister”
