Does the AlarmTag pin pull as easily as old keychain alarms?

Mine came out fairly easily the first few times, almost too easy, and then it settled into a firmer pull after a week or so of riding around in my bag. That looser start did make me a little wary, though nothing actually popped on its own. So maybe it’s less about old versus new and more about how broken in the thing is.

The pull on mine is definitely smoother than the old keychain ones I had years ago. I clip it to my jacket pocket when I walk the dog, and it hasn’t snagged on anything yet. Feels like it was made to come out quick instead of needing a hard yank.

Mine never loosened up, still stiff as day one.

I only used the old keychain kind a couple times years ago so I can’t really compare. Mine pulls pretty smooth though and hasn’t gotten stuck or anything, which is all I care about.

Mine takes noticeably more force than the AlarmTag, so it’s not just you. I actually prefer a stiffer pull because it’s less likely to snag on something and go off in my bag. The smoother one is easier under stress though, so I get why people like it.

Smooth is the last thing I want on something like this. I’d rather it take a real tug so it doesn’t pop off in my bag or catch on something. If mine came out too easy I’d be sending it back.
