KEY-BAK Original Retractable Key Holder with a Chrome Front, Steel Belt Clip, and a Split Ring

I owned a chain type Key-Bak for several years and although I enjoyed the convenience it provided, It had a few flaws in my opinion. I bought the one with a chain because I figured it would be the most durable and it did seem to be built well. One of the problems was that It would tend to get jammed from time to time. I don't know if fuzz would get in there or what, but I would have to pull real hard to get it working again and then it would be fine for a while. My other complaint is that the chain would slowly saw away at my jackets and shirts. I wore it on my belt and most of the locks were above my waist so I would have to pull it upwards when extending the chain. Any clothing that hung below my waistline and over the Key-Bak such as the waist hem on a jacket would start to get cut up by the chain running across it. I learned to pull up my clothing before pulling out my keys but it was a bit inconvenient. After several years I was surprised to find one day that the metal swivel on my Key-Bak had broken where the key ring connected to the chain. I rigged it up to make it work for a while but that was what made me look into buying another type. I was reluctant to buy the Kevlar string version but that really seemed to be the best answer to my damaged clothing issue. I've been using it for several months now and it works great. The string seems very strong, it's longer, no more jam ups and no more damaged clothes! I hope it lasts many years

It's very close to the one my Dad use to wear on his belt, got it for my Son. Love the retractable cable and belt hook, very useful and well made

I just received my key reel and was very impressed with the ease in which the Kevlar cord retracted - it's great. It has the extended reach I need and it supports the weight of all eight keys without any un-retracting (sag) by itself while hanging on my belt. It's so easy and smooth to extract and retract, I love this item. The reason I gave it only four stars is it arrived with the Kevlar cord frayed at the keyring connector. I don't think it will last very long before the frayed cord lets loose and I'll have to purchase another. I will update this review in one year to let you know the status or sooner if the cord breaks before then.

Bought it for work because I used to only carry a couple of regular keys on a wrist coil, and later on my ID lanyard, but I recently got a new job in which I carry a few regular keys and an electronic key fob for my new office. It would've been too heavy on my lanyard, and even on a wrist coil. I wear pants most days. Not all of my pants have strong waistbands but most do, and the clip is tight and secure. The retractable cord is super strong. Sometimes I wear dresses. I can clip it to a pocket in one of my dresses. When I don't have pockets on my dress I carry it around lol.

My husband needed this to hold his shop keys. He has a big ring of keys and this key ring holds them without the reel pulling down on it's own.

I have to use my ID badge many times per day to get through doorways at work. I was sick of the cheap plastic badge holders that break easily and have poorly-functioning cord retractors. This is perfect. Very tough cord, always retracts and extends easily, and not too big to clip to my clothing. I have been using this every day that I'm at work for about 6 months so far. Working great and no signs of the cord fraying or any other problems.

Very durable. I used this as a manager in a restaurant. I attached my keys and my swipe card to it which I probably use 200+ times a day 5 days a week. It lasted much longer than any nylon cord or metal link cord reels I have used in the past. It eventually broke from wear about 4 years later, but wonderful product! Thanks!

This device is not inconspicuous. This reel is 2 inches in diameter. Maybe you would expect that in a reel of this caliber, but I wasn't. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but if you are hesitant to walk around with a huge disc hanging from your hip, then I would look elsewhere. The Kevlar Cord is quite awesome, as it retracts very quickly and securely.

Produit sérieux, esthétique et solide. Evitez d'acheter des articles similaires moins chers à moins qu vous préfériez courrir le risque de perdre votre badge ou vos clés...

Habe schon 3 davon gekauft bin sehr zufrieden als Kellnerin. Kann es nur weiter empfehlen.

Bello molto bello

Thank youGood product

Use it for work every day, and it's still going strong. Definitely would recommend for anyone. Keep in mind, its capacity is only about 6 or 7 keys before it starts weighing down.
