FK Brake Retainer W/Hook
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.

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

Simple but effective
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 -
Great brake retainer - far better than simple rubber bands
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.

Bought on a whim
I have always used a bungie cord or duke rubberband. Thought i would try one of these. Works okay. To me it feels like (and does) slip off too easily. Maybe its because I am only using it on wide brakes (115mm+)? The plastic loop does have a good non-slip purchase to the brake, unlike a rubberband.

Fix the plastic hook properly.
These are the most convenient set of brake retainers that I have ever use. Quick and easy. Pay attention and properly set the hook over a protuberance on the brakes.
-
Best without the plastic rings
The plastic rings get in the way from laying the ski s down on their sides. I removed them and use the rubber band alone. This works well when using the FK Multi edge tuner /stones to tune edge sides and bottoms.
