Cordage Making Dog Tag : Turn Plastic Bottles Into String
Plastic Bottle Cutter Dog Tag Tool
The Plastic Bottle Cutter Dog Tag Tool is a compact, wearable tool that turns discarded plastic bottles into strong, usable cordage. Designed as a survival dog tag, this tool allows you to cut consistent strips from plastic bottles, creating durable plastic cord for everyday use, emergency repairs, and survival situations.
Instead of carrying bulky rope or relying on single-use cordage, this plastic bottle cutter lets you convert trash into a renewable resource. It fits on a necklace, stores in a small kit, and works anywhere you can find a plastic bottle (which unfortunately, is just about everywhere).

Why The Plastic Bottle Cutter Dog Tag Exists
Cordage is one of the most important survival resources, yet it is also one of the first things people run out of.
This tool exists to solve that problem by letting you make cordage on demand using common plastic bottles, especially 2-liter bottles that are widely available in urban and roadside environments.
Everyday use:
Create strong plastic cord for tying, bundling, hanging gear, and quick repairs.
Survival and emergency use:
Turn trash bottles into cordage for shelter building, traps, gear repair, and improvisation when traditional rope is unavailable.

How the Dog Tag Plastic Bottle Cutter Works
This plastic bottle cutter works by guiding the bottle through a cutting channel that produces even, standardized strips of plastic. As you pull the bottle through, the tool continuously cuts clean cordage that can be used immediately or stored for later.
The resulting plastic cord is:
Strong
Lightweight
Water resistant
Resistant to rot and moisture
With practice, you can control the length and tension of the cord depending on how you cut and stretch it.

VerifiedThis is an absolutely perfect addition to my urban bug out bag. Plastic bottles and containers are everywhere and to be able to quickly turn those into usable cordage is just unbelievable. Love this product; love this application. Making my kit that much better! Thanks Grimm!
Ant Kozmiuk
VerifiedCool little idea, works decent after some adjusting and sanding sharp edges. Didn't realize assembly was required, and blade direction wasn't specified in the instruction card, small hiccups, but works. Fast shipping appreciated
Frank Galang
VerifiedEven my fat fingers were able to navigate the assembly of this little product. Right from the get go, I was able to make cordage out of a water bottle. I will carry this everywhere I go so that if there is ever a need for it, it will always be by my side at the ready. There is no excuse to not having this on you. It's compact, weighs next to nothing, and just plainly works. If I had anything negative to say, I'd point out that the laser engraving / cutting does leave a sharp edge. I will take a dremel to those edges to smoothen them out. Other than that, this product is worth every penny.

michael hawk
VerifiedI really appreciate the portability of this tool. It works quite well for us. We try to use “plastic” rope for many things so it doesn’t just end up in a landfill. Keep up the good work!

VerifiedThis comes in three different sizes that all look great. The dog tag version is amazing. I was able to make consistent length strong line in no time from trash! The cord can be braided for more strength. This could really be a life saver!
