Paracordist's Tactical Bola transforms from new instant unravel self defense key fob

Really cool piece keep us posted.. I really like the idea a lot and will be keeping my eye out for the finished product!
 
I knew I wanted a compact bola. Getting there was more by trial and error. If I had real video production skills I'd do a promo where a guy with his keychain witnesses a purse snatching, quickly deploys the bola and wraps up the bad guy lol! I've already improved it some. I want to make a full final Version with improvements and the fists part of the main cord rather than tied in.
 
so here's the pic of the finished design version of my tactical bola. still not sure what i'm going to name it. what I did differently is:
1. fully integrated the monkeys fists rather than tie them on. approx. 14' of paracord was used
2. length shortented fist to fist from 6' to 4'. I did this so I have the option if tying a third "leg" onto the bola and still have it not too long to wield (perhaps a future video for comparison)
3. No loop tied into the middle between the fists when extended
4. inverted the design so the cord is released by pulling the monkey fists rather than the other side; this allows the fist to align straight out of the weave
5. blaze orange so I have an easier time finding it in the back yard woods!
