We use the smaller ones (shown at top left of web page). Make sure those
that use them know how to respect them.

They seem fairly robust, but students here tend to allow them to "snap"
back, or sit there quickly pulling the string in and out all the time
which tends to make the string bunch up inside and "kink". This means
you have to pull it apart and rewind the string back on the drum. I have
repaired lots of them and it can be a real pain. (big coil spring
inside) You may also lose some linearity if the string kinks or twists
up when in use.
