To be a deadly assassin, you need to make sure you have the right tools. One of the best and classic tools is the Garotte. I didn't know what one was until I saw one on the James Bond movie "To Russia With Love". As soon as I had seen it I wanted one. My dad had an idea to make one out of a retractable key chain which turned into this 'ible.

This is a really simple Instructable which anyone can make. The great ting is the key chain chord is wire so it really is like a real Garotte. I'm also thinking about sticking a watch on top of it so it really is like the James Bond one I saw.

Just be careful if you do make one as it really could choke someone and assassins only kill evil dudes.
