I got this last time, and the main downside is that the sound is somewhat muffled because of the waterproof case.
So far, I haven't experienced any signal issues. It works perfectly fine inside my backpack, even right next to my MacBook.
You do need to be patient when tightening the Allen screws. If they aren't tightened properly, the water seal can fail.
My only real complaint is that it doesn't have any secure attachment points for clips or a keyring. You have to use adhesive to keep it from moving around, which is annoying.
Some cheaper copycat versions actually include clips and a keyring hole, so I wish they would add those features in the next generation.

These are great for long-term tracking, but due to their size, these seem to work best for things like cars, heavy equipment, trailers, boats/watercraft, etc. where they can be hidden in hard-to-reach places and the muffling of the sound might actually be a good thing if they are stolen (airtag speakers can also be removed entirely in minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vAQNedIa0o).
For things like luggage, backpacks, purses, etc. where the airtags can be easily reached and CR2032 batteries replaced, there are fabric mount options that are much smaller, stay in place (out of the way not floating around your bag) and are still relatively waterproof in case your bag/purse gets wet:
Have these. The AA Lithium batteries don't seem to last as long as I hoped. Got basically twice what I got with the old CR2032 before getting a low battery notification. Anyone else?

Have different ones in use currently - one for over a year, and two for about 6 months. No issues with any of them.
Tool cabinet, but will go into the cars if I can get longer battery life.
I'm just curious because these only work if they can connect to the FindMy network (an iPhone has to be nearby). We use them for keys and things that are around the house that my wife/kids can't keep up with.
Cheap LoJack/GPS. Not as good as those at tracking, but also a fraction of the price as LoJack/GPS tend to charge a monthly or annual fee. However, a little extra insurance that you, or the police, may be able to locate your car should it get stolen. I disabled the speaker in the AirTags I use in these and then hid them deep inside the 3 cars I put them in (one is mine, two are my parents), which means it would take a thief that much extra time to locate it as they don't ring anymore.

This seem expensive for a plastic box containing a couple of wires and electrical contacts.
At $9 a pop I disagree. But, hey, fabricate one yourself for cheaper if you think you can. Put it on Reddit or wherever - people love DIY stuff they can replicate themselves.

Yeah, the lack of attachment point is kind of annoying. I used double-sided sticky velcro when I hid one deep under one of the panels in my car. Also disabled the speaker in the AirTag which is what a lot of people are doing with these things in vehicles, bikes, etc, which makes it harder for a thief to find as they're unable to hear it.

If they work while buried deep in a car they'd work from inside a tool cabinet.

Correct, as long as there's an iPhone nearby. You can't use these to locate a lost dog if it's not within range of an iPhone for example. Once it's out of range of any iPhone, it'll only transmit the last location. That's why I'm curious about what people use them for.

Same idea, but cheaper and still pretty good:
