Whip Holder lasted all of two seconds
Well, as I got all my gear on to head into work for Halloween, my Todd's whip holder broke. The snap button came off, so I improvised and used the trusty ol'zip tie. It was the first time I wore all my gear and it was all groovy in the end. Anyone else have any gear mishaps?

Re: Whip Holder lasted all of two seconds
I read in another post about someone else's snap breaking on their whip holder as well. I'm pretty sure that Todd replaced it for them.SonofJoker wrote:Well, as I got all my gear on to head into work for Halloween, my Todd's whip holder broke.

I had the same thing happen to my Todd's whip holder. I returned it for a refund, as I was short on time prior to a Halloween party. Wound up ordering one from one of the members here, Wadventure (profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4990).

Whip slipage
Try as I might, I couldn't get Todd's adjustable whip holder to hold onto my whip. The heavy whip handle kept falling down and ended up dragging on the ground.
I had a similar experience after purchasing a new belt with an attached whip holder, which was just a simple leather loop and snap. As I came out of the CS midnight premier in May, my whip was again dragging like a dead tail.
I've since gone non-screen accurate and have a nice and tight holder from one of our members, by the name of Adam at Wolfpitwhips and this instructional video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oapSiWJgizk

My apologies to all those who have had snaps come loose. We did a batch of whip holders where out setting die did not set the snaps correctly (we used a different length eyelet that our die didn't like). They lasted for the few test snaps we do to before sending them, but when the customer did a few more, they pulled loose.
We've corrected the issue and are glad to offer replacements. We went through our current stock and re-set all the bad snaps. We've been making these whip holders for years, and this is the only lot that has been affected.
Again, sorry for the trouble. Contact us and we'll make it right for you.

I got one of these whip holders from a friend of mine when I was purchasing gear and had the same thing happen the first time I tried to use it, but because I didn't buy directly from Todd I think I may be out of luck in getting it repaired. I tried locally but no one has the proper snaps to fix the problem.

Eh, stuff happens. The quality of a vendor comes in if they can recognize there is a problem, and go about fixing it. I've been very happy with everything else I've ordered. If I hadn't been pressed for time, I'd have done a simple exchange.Puppetboy wrote:Again, sorry for the trouble. Contact us and we'll make it right for you.
