Product Description
The key retractor that got KEY-BAK started in 1948, the Original Series retractable key chain is a heavy duty key reel that is guaranteed to outlast the competition. The Original Series retractable key chain is popular because of its vintage look and the flexibility of customizing the reel to your specifications. Choose either the retractable 24" vintage steel chain or the retractable cord made with DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber. Next, choose between a classic cold-rolled steel chrome plated front or a more inconspicuous black vinyl cover. Lastly, choose how you'd like to secure the key reel to your side, with either a stationary steel belt clip, a steel belt loop, removable rotating belt clip or a leather duty belt loop. Although it is often copied, there has still never been another retractable key reel that matches the quality, durability or versatility of the Original KEY-BAK Retractable Key Chain.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
My new KeyBak is just like the one I got in the mid 1970's! With the belt loop I don't have to worry about losing it like I did with my first KeyBak with the belt clip.
My keys are handy when I need them. No fumbling in my pocket or forgetting to put them in my pocket. When I reach down at my side, I know they are there, ready when I need them. Always ready, always secure. And always retract when I am finished with them. KeyBak rules!
KEY-BAK Original Series Retractable Keychain
It works every time, like it's supposed to.
My wife needed a badge reel that had enough tension to hold he badge and Vocera without unspooling halfway to her waist. KB did a great job with this product. I will be buying for company again!
I have had this product previously, after several years of use it finally broke down and needed replacing. My company no longer provides this product so I am happy to have found it and it works great.
Excellent Kevlar cord. Far surpasses any product you can buy from a hardware store!
Great, I've had them for years! Great product.

KEY-BAK Original Series Retractable Keychain in Vintage Chrome or Vinyl Black
I've found that the chain/Kevlar thread tends to last 2-3 years then needs replacing. Key-Bak has been good about replacing the key-chain when this happens at no charge. I ordered the black and they sent me the chrome version. Not a big deal.With all the keys I use daily, I don't know how I'd survive without the Key-Bak.
