I received a Key-Bak years ago and the clip broke. I finally remembered the name and ordered more. I use it for my scan cards, so I am use it daily. Still love the durability & design. My one small issue is the spring on the clip, it might break again, but I ordered plenty. Other than that awesome product, I like it very much and recommend it to co-workers!

I am a trainer at a very busy steakhouse. I purchased this about a month or so ago and so far so good! It has starting to make this clicking noise when I pull it out but when I checked the string everything seems fine. Here's the real truth though... You have absolutely no idea how much this is pulled in and out, smashed up against walls, chairs, tables and anything else that gets in its way. I definitely don't expect it to last forever and in fact I'm very surprised it's lasted this long!! Anything I've used in the past explodes within 2 to 3 weeks max. I had high hopes this would be a quality product, one that would stand up to the insane abuse I planned on putting it thru and like I said... So far so good!
Under normal use I see this product lasting a very very long time. This is a quality product and I will be ordering a backup or 2 soon and will be recommending this to all new server's.

You can feel the quality as soon as you remove from packaging. The reel cable, reel tension and the rest are first rate. This is my 3rd Key-Bak purchase. There will be more in the future.

In use for 2 weeks, I really like the cord reel strength and “snap.” The carbiner clip is very secure- important as my access badge and keys are attached. As a 5’ 2” female, I’d love a slightly shorter overall length but it’s not a deal breaker. I’m very satisfied with the quality and that is my main reason for spending more than I usually do for this type of item.

Having little time to use this device, I scarcely feel qualified to remark on the quality. I like it. There were parts attached which did not suit my use, but these were easily removed and I adapted it to my purpose.

He loved it, and I love my old one too!

I purchased this retractable keychain for my gate keys and badge for my construction site. I’ve used the cheap novelty retractables that only last for a few weeks/months. This seems to be built really well and so far has held up. I would buy another one.

Product is as described, shipped fast and feels to be of high quality for years of service.

Exactly what I needed for my coworker and myself! Love Keybak products!!

It is quality. I pulled the string out a few times to try it out and it snaps back real nice and smooth. The clip on it has a solid spring that feels like it will not come unlatched while I move around during work.

Overall, I am pleased with this sturdy badge holder. After almost one year of use, the lanyard and retractable badge reel have held up to dozens of pulls each day, with no sign of wear or fatigue. However, the snap on the vinyl badge holder failed after just two months of use. I tried to hold the snap together with some electrical tape, but that eventually failed as well. So, I moved my badges to the split ring instead.

The cords keep pulling out of the break-away lugs rendering these very non-secure. Would NOT recommend.

Works as expected

Shipping was fast, and product was perfect. Many thanks.

met and exceeded my expectations

Great badge holder/lanyard. Just what the doctor ordered.

This is an amazing product. Far superior from anything I have purchased anywhere else.

Very nice for smaller things.

Highly recommend!

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!

its ok. the kelvar string seems a little weak. Im only saying this because I had 2 kelvar key ring re-tractors with heavier strings and they both broke

This product I would recommend to all my friends

These reels stand up great. I generally have over 50 pulls a day swiping my badge for work.. I am always swiping my badge and have used these reels as they last longer than other brands. I was always afraid of losing my badge with other brands, but not these.

Until now it's been the best product I've bought, it's very strong, it has survived unexpected harsh pulls and hits. The only issue and the only reason I don't give 5 stars is that is pretty big and long, so it hangs way too much, and if you're walking fast or running it's jumping all over the place, maybe the belt clip was a better option for me.

I bought this item to have a sturdier carabiner for my work badge. It is sturdy and does not seem like it will break any time soon. The reel has a lot of tension compared to other carbiners, which I don't really like. And it is longer than I expected - the length causes your badge to swing quite a bit. It will hit walls or anything you are close to regularly. It does the job, but I'm not completely satisfied with it.

Works great hasn’t broke yet so that’s a plus

MID6 Heavy Duty 6 oz. Badge Reel with Belt Clip or Carabiner

Very solid design, it was bigger than I expected. It would be nice to have a coin or a person's hand in the picture for scale.

Great product and fast shipping

A+

Badge reel is exceptional. Only improvement would be the plastic tab that holds the badge. Recoil strength is great!

The ordering and shipping process was easy and fast, I'm satisfied with the quality of the product but only in use for a few weeks, time will tell.

This is the most durable, long lasting badge holder I have ever owned. It has quality in all aspects of the product.

A 5-pack is all I really need. Just clipped one of those boys on a keyring and slapped it on a lanyard. Let's get to work!
(no literally, I gotta go to work...)

we use this retractabadge, for its durability. They seem to outlast the competition, the price is just right.

Badge is very sturdy and strong. Snaps right back. Heavy duty clip so I am not afraid of dropping it somewhere. Thank you!!

good quality, work great

Works well and retracts smoothly. Feels sturdy and well made.

This item is great! I got it because my aliigator-clip style reel would get snagged on my uniform, chairs, and doors and fall off leaving me scrambling to recover my pass card. The carabiner is secure, convenient, and compact.

I couldnt give it 5 stars just for the simple fact that its not as strong when it retracts.

This is the second time I’ve purchased Key-Bak products. Nothing but satisfied.
