Mini-BAK Retractable Badge Holder with 36" Nylon Cord, Steel Belt Clip

An accessory like this is what I needed for my keys. Yes, you hear that right, I use them to hold my keys. I know that they weren't made for that, but they have held up pretty good for the 5 months since I bought them. This means that they were used in harsher conditions than they were meant to. Actually, I'm quite surprised since the cord is thin and it's able to hold the weight of my whole keychain setup when I take it out of my pocket. What this tells me is that this is a high-quality product. It's pretty clear that holding a card or badge would be like nothing for this thing.The plastic seems ok. It hasn't cracked nor has shown signs of damaged from constant use. I really like its small size. It's small enough to blend in with my belt although it does stick a little due to its thickness. The holder is completely black except for the back which is of transparent plastic. I have mixed feelings about that, on one hand, it allows you to see the mechanism inside moving. But, a part of me would prefer something completely blacked out. At the end of the day, it's a matter of preference.The length is long enough for my purposes, more than I would have liked actually. I have to cut it a little shorter so I could reach my keys if they happen to be hanging from the holder when I take them out. As you can already tell, the retractable spring is not strong enough to hold everything I carry on my keychain. However, I won't criticize them because I knew that they were not made to carry all of that. Nevertheless, I hope they release a similar version with the same, small size but with thicker cable and stronger retractable mechanism for those who want to attach their keys.However, not everything is rainbows and unicorns. I have already noticed some degradation in the cord over time due to the treatment it has received. There are tiny threads that have come off because of friction, but you can barely see them. Yet they do not seem to be failing in the long term. I have to order one after seeing its sturdiness. At the back it says "Made in USA". So I assume the company has good quality controls. All in all, I can say that I do recommend this product. Finally, see the pictures I attached to know its measurements. I know its hard to know its dimensions when you just look at them through a screen.

I work in a building that requires a lot of badging into certain areas and I like to wear my key card on my belt. I got so sick of the reels breaking on the cheap ones my work provided that I just bought my own. This thing was awesome. It’s nice and compact. Lasted me almost a year and a half, but the reel never broke! The plastic that clips onto the card eventually split. For me it was worth the money. Just bought another one.

I’ve used this product for years. Great non-flashy badge clip. Does it’s job and for the money, you really can’t beat it. Mine wore out in about 24 months with continuous daily use. Easily replaced though and very cost effective. Would recommend.

I purchased this product for a key fob which is quite a bit heavier than just a key. It did not work for me for this purpose. Because this is classified as a badge holder, the retractor mechanism is not sturdy enough to hold a key fob or a lot of keys. The greater weight will weigh it down and cause the cord to unwind. This will, however, hold 1 or 2 keys as long as they don't weigh too much. I was able to utilize this product for the latter purpose I mentioned so I do give it a good review because it is usable as long as you don't put too much weight on the cord. It's all plastic so not sure how durable it would be for daily use (I'm only using it once or twice a week) We'll see how long it lasts

Frail. If you don’t need a regular badge holder this is fine. Otherwise get the large stronger one.

I’ve ordered this badge reel a few times. Super sturdy, smooth action, and great retention as long as you don’t overload.

I love this! I use it at work all day for self checkout help and it’s super durable. And cute!

Cannot tell you about longevity, only used it for a couple of weeks. Product description says its rated to... more pulls than I'll ever need. So we'll see...
