Product Description
In 1981, KEY-BAK invented the first Retractable Badge Holder, the MINI-BAK®, and it is still one of the best badge reels on the market today. Built in the USA with globally sourced materials, the Mini-Bak badge reel has a strong molded black polycarbonate case and a retractable cord made three-strand braid nylon. Attach your i.d. badge or access cards to the vinyl badge holder and secure the retractable badge holder to your belt, work vest or scrubs. When you need your badge just pull it out, when your done let it go and the built-in tether retracts back into place until you need them again. When you need a reliable badge reel for a badge or two the Mini-Bak Badge Reel is your most durable option.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
I bought this for durability as my last reel broke unexpectedly. This came pretty fast in the mail and it's been holding up well.
Works very well and is compact. Wonderful that it’s made in the USA which is the main reason for its purchase.
A representative called me and resolved my issue.
It's a great product and did what was expected, however, we misjudged the weight of the multiple cards cards and badges we wanted to use it for and it did not retract all the way. Definitely not a product issue! We will probably order a more heavy duty one when we know how many badges/IDs will actually have to be carried.
Pull it out. It goes right back in. Out and back in. It goes in and then when you need to use it it pulls out and back in. Each and every single time. Out then in.
Exactly what I wanted and expected...perfect
Great buy, will buy again in the future.
Exactly what I wanted.
Such a small thing, but so important to my daily life. I have bought countless of these in my career, and time and again they last a few months and then break. I could tell on the first pull this one is gonna last longer than a minute!
Hello,
I ordered these badge reels for my girlfriend who is a nurse. They are very high quality and I'm sure they will last for years. I ordered them specifically because they were made in the USA! As an American factory worker I want to thank you for keeping things like these made in this country! The Wuhan Coronavirus has definitely pulled back the curtain and shown just how much out manufacturing capability has been gutted out in the last 40 years and how dependent we are on foreign entities. So thank you again for continuing to make great products in this great country! My girlfriend who uses these badge reels everyday loves them!

Best in the biz 👍
Great
I was asked to review this a while ago. I prefer to use an item before I review it, so I figured I'd use it when my non-anniversay model failed....I've been using it daily for 15 years, hasn't failed me yet.
So, this new one is more of a collectable for me. It's pretty and shiny!
Keep up the good work, Key-Bak! You make excellent products!
I've used KeyBak keychain reels many years,they're really good
