got 3 para cord bracelets, i think their worth the money but get them as cheap as you can, i paid about £3.50 each, a monkey fist is a lanyard with a big lump on the end, about the only use i can think for these is thumping a mugger with it!

Making your own is cheap and easy.

Better to make a lanyard though, plenty more cord in those.

Theres lots of intresting vids on youtube on how to make them, ive got a few different size ones, 3mm and 5mm cord, i use them as lanyards aswell its a handy thing to have with you at all times, there are also vids on a para cord belt, i tryed to make one but it kinda takes a while, i still havent finished it.

thanks for the info, iv just brought a DIY kit off ebay. i thought the monkey fist was more of a weapon its like a snooker ball in a sock.

Great for getting ropes over trees for high tarp set ups.

I've worn one for ages, being a mean/poor bugger I made it myself from a ebay kit, cost £1.99 only used it once when we lost the dog lead, so untangled it made a useful lead, do I think there worth the money?

I can't personally think of any other way I'd always carry a few meters of incredibility useful cordage, so yes I think there great!
