jessiezara90 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 SO three flexi leads later I really want to find one that is really long and strong. He has so much fun in them but they break so easily! Anyone have a good one? X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 dont get one of the cheaper ones, get a real Flexi Giant, one with the tape, they're suitable for dogs upto 50kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 We use Flexi Maxi for both ours and never had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollys_mum Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 We currently use the Flexi 'comfort long' for one of ours but I loathe it. It is strong and has a reasonable length, but I don't like it because the handle part of it is too small for comfort, and the line is very thin which can cause cuts to your hand if you suddenly need to haul your dog in. I also have problems with the button that you use to control the length of lead - most of the time it works, but occasionally it doesn't. This is potentially dangerous if out near main roads. I can't offer any advice other than to NOT buy what we have, but would be interested myself if there is one that doesn't suffer with the flaws listed above.

Val (Zebedee) Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 yup, I have to agree with the Flexi Giant, it has a full tape cord, not the string & holds any of my 3 when they decide to shoot off unexpectedly! Even Diesel when he's after a squirrel & that was at his heaviest at 55kg :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devildust76 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 We have the Flexi Comfort too. I hate using it In fact I think I broke my finger on it recently, it is that uncomfortable! We are going to 'upgrade' to the Giant soon hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseWillow&Dexter Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I would love a flexi lead, but the problem I have is with the handle, I used to use one on Willow when she was a pup and she could pull it out of my hand, where as a normal lead you can wrap around your hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same with 30ft, 50ft and 100ft leads. Stacey xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobezilla Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Just ordered my own flexi giant, I never thought I'd be able to have a long retractable leash for walks but it looks like this is my life saver xD now I just need to get a police lead or something in case it slips out of my hand ;] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I have an 8m FLEXI GIANT XL tape lead for up to 75kg. The only fault with it is that the lead starts freezing up when temperature go below zero, and it then has to be helped to retract. I would not use a different one with Storm.

Rachel-Phoenix Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I can't bring myself to use one. So I use 8m horse lunge lines instead when we go to the beach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
