Fk Brake Retainer W/Hook - Ea .

These things are awesome - yes, rubber bands work, but these are much easier and faster to use.

Meets every requirement for various binding designs .

This is a very useful and easy to use tool if you ever work on your ski bases (waxing, tuning, repair). It is very easy to use and it keeps the ski brakes out of the way while you work. Order at least two, so you can have one for each ski. That way you don't have to keep switching it from one ski to the other. I have used other methods of keeping the brakes out of the way too. But nothing works as well as these rubber brake retainers.

Great product, keeps your fingers/thumb clear of the brake

I've used heavy rubber band retainers for years. This design is much easier to put on and take off and does a good job of keeping the brake out of the way when I'm tuning skis.

Nicest ski brake retainer I've used. Thick rubber, should last!
I liked the first ones enough to buy more. Get' em!

Put enough bands on and off skis and your fingers get a bit bashed at times. This makes it quick and easy. I should have bought a few more as I like to line up the family skis and service them all in one go - all with their own bands on for the duration.

Brake retainer. Simple but essential. This item uses sturdy rubber. The plastic loop makes slipping this on/off easy.
Like enough to plan to order a few more

This is much easier to use than simpler rubber band type brake retainers. With your finger in the plastic circle, hook the loop on one brake paddle, compress the brake with your free hand, loop the rubber strap over the binding and then retain the other brake paddle with the hook portion of the plastic. Very easy to release. Convenient and fast. Rubber strap is sturdy, strong enough to retain a stiff brake spring, but not too hard to stretch and seems like it will last for quite a long time.
