There is a little carving to add rubber bands to get better friction and to protect the door when you push it with the tool, but currently the bands tend to peel off when stashing or removing the handler in and out of the jeans watch pocket. There is a hole for attachment but that might only make sense with a retracting line. I will make another version tomorrow with some more rounding on the edges to protect the
