Steven McGaughey @Jane Wang I bought several of these many years ago. I still use them but they are less impressive than i thought. The yoyo part pops off the spindle a bit too easily for my taste. not a bad product but not noteworthy in the sea of cable management tools
Jane Wang @Steven McGaughey Thanks!
Gregory Heller I have a ton of these. i find with most cable management products, i love the concept of them better than actually using them. I have a bunch of coiled up cables ont hese yoyos under my desk, but i rarely take them with me.

Amanda Farmer This would not be accurate unless you devised a weighted system where you could assign a numeric value to each pro and con. It is not about the total # of pros and cons. It is about the weight that each pro and con holds in the particular situation. Pro: he is the man of my dreams Con: he has bad taste in shoes. <- this would not be fair :) :
