00:00Fix fraying lanyards with these metal paracord beads.
00:03So your lanyard keeps fraying right where it meets the clip?
00:07Same here, I taped mine twice and it's still let go.
00:10Turns out the fix is these little metal paracord beads, and I tracked down the best deals.
00:16Here's the lineup, starting with my favorite.
00:19First up is the wolf head brass knife bead.
00:22This one's solid brass, not plated plastic, and the knife bead slot lets you slide the
00:26cord in and cinch it tight right where the fraying starts.
00:30It's about $0.89, it's got a perfect 5-star rating across nearly 5,000 sales, and it
00:35adds a bit of bite to a plain black cord.
00:38That one's my daily carry.
00:40Next is the python snake brass bead, and this is the budget pick, $0.39, cheapest thing on
00:46the list, and still nearly $4.700 sold.
00:49Same knife bead slot, same brass, but you've got these raised snake scales that catch the
00:53light.
00:54If you've got a drawer full of frayed lanyards and a wallet with no room in it, buy a three
00:59pack of these.
01:00Now the one I splurged on with the punk skull head brass knife bead, $5.32.
01:05It's the priciest here, but you can see why, heavy cast brass, a real skull shape with actual
01:10depth to it, and a slot cut wide enough for thicker cord or a doubled up weave.
01:15If you're rebuilding a lanyard you plan to wear every day, or you want something people
01:19actually ask about, this is the one.
01:22Fourth is the skull cross bullet brass bead, $0.56.
01:26Three designs packed into one little charm, skull, cross, and a bullet shell, and it fits
01:31the same knife bead slot, so it swaps straight in wherever your old bead was.
01:35Cheap, sharp looking, and it goes great as a pair on a bracelet.
01:39Hard to argue with three for the price of one at that price.
01:43Skipped, B-roll cues, shot list, timestamps, add one editing.
01:47Skipping, B-roll cues, shot list, it's not a pair of
