MNGARISTA 2-Pack Retractable Keychain, Heavy Duty Carabiner Badge Holder, Tactical ID Badge Reel Key Chain with 31.5” Steel Retractable Cord, 8.0 oz

Good quality, good for keys and badges, feels like will last long time with clasp and metal wire

Excellent keychain, holds up very well, and the retractable wire is one of the most solid ones I’ve had. If I had to say anything negative about it the clip seems flimsy but it has yet to break so I guess it’s alright. It comes in a pack of two so even if it did snap I have a backup

These are pretty awesome! They have a high spring tension for retracting the cable+keys, the cable itself is a very thing gauge plastic coated steel cord. These are, by far, the strongest retractable keyring/ID Card units I've had. Most of the retraction units I've had in the past broke within 30 days. These have held up to the abuse I put them through without any problem. I am not afraid that the cable will snap and I'll lose the keys. Unlike every other one I've ever had!The plastic coating on the cable serves to reduce friction as the line gets paid out and when drawn back into the unit as well as weather/waterproofing the cable. The carabiner is well made and won't just come apart under normal use. This retractable keychain is about as perfect as it gets! If you're looking for one and/or an NFC/RFID key card and are on the fence with all the options... Just get this one. You won't be disappointed!I have only two minor suggestions that I would give to the manufacturer. Neither of these affect my rating and don't warrant dropping a star.First, the badge snap strip is affixed in a way you CANNOT remove it. If you want to remove it, it requires that you destroy it in the process. Doing so renders the badge snap strip useless. The only way to POTENTIALLY non-destructively remove it would be to spread the D-Clip apart so that you can remove the badge strip (and the keyring component) from the rest of the unit and then re-assemble it. I believe removing it in this manner would be troublesome and very difficult to do without damaging it. It would be beneficial to have that attached via the keyring part so that it can be removed when using it specifically as a keyring. That or use a smaller ring to attach it to the same little D-Clip the keyring itself is attached to. (See Attached Photo)Second, the carabiner should be a bit larger. It's a good design and well made, but you won't get it to fit with wider belt loops that some pants have and you can't simply remove it and replace it as it's integrated into the plastic body of the unit. It still does exactly what it should, but if the carabiner were made a little larger to fit the fatter belt loops and potentially simply user replaceable, it would make this unit better. The carabiner itself is made of metal. (See Attached Photo)As I said, I don't count either of these two things as flaws, nor do they warrant a lower rating as a result. They are just two things that would be beneficial if the manufacturer were to correct them.

Got it at the end of January, and by mid-April, it had broken. It is easy to use, and it doesn't weigh anything. It was super useful and feels heavy-duty, but yeah, it's broken lol. So, I bought a 2-pack; it was cheaper than the single I bought the first time. Super disappointed by the reviews; I didn't think I would need 2. Joke's on me, I guess. I work in IT, so it's not like I'm beating the thing up. I work on multiple sites, so I use it a lot, and it might get stuck on the seat belt once or twice, but not even 6 months lol. I went to use it on the door like any morning, and you could hear the inside mech slip, and before I knew it, the cord was arm's length and done lol. Round 2. The first day went well; I'm thinking of giving my buddy the other one lol. I'll keep y'all updated on this.I added 2 stars because the seller reached out, and we came to a very reasonable compensation regarding the issues. Also, I haven't had any issues with the new one i have, and considering giving the other to a buddy I work with.

Let’s just say these right here are like military grade type. So strong and reliable.

I use my ID badge multiple times, sometimes many times, every day at work to unlock doors and to punch the time clock. I've had a made in USA version of these for 10 years now. I've had two of those and each lasted almost exactly five years before the cord wore too much and broke at the very end where it attaches to my ID badge. Those both used a fine black cord that may have been Kevlar, and to last five years of use multiple/many times every weekday, it was high quality cord.Those same reels are still available on Amazon and I was going to buy another one, but the price increase changed my mind. When I bought my last one five years ago it was $12.99. The other day the same exact product was priced at $30.79 for one reel. I slammed on the brakes and looked for other options. I saw this two-pack of very similar reels for $13.99 (less than 1/4 the price per each compared to the current price of my old ones), saw that they have a steel cable instead of a fiber cord, saw that they come with nice split rings and a badge snap strap, so I decided to give them a try.Upon first inspection and use, they seem as high quality as my old ones. Better looks, same size, a quality belt loop clip that feels solid, sturdy internal spring with smooth extension and retraction, nice, smooth steel cable that's more than plenty long, and seem to be as well put together overall as my old ones.Like I said in the title, I just got them. Took them out of the package about an hour ago. So far, I'm very impressed. I have one attached to my belt loop now and the other will stay in the box and be kept as a spare. If they break or fail sooner than I think they should (i.e.- within a couple years, considering the price difference), I will be back to update this review. But for day one of what I hope to be a few years of service, I'm very happy with the purchase.

When I had a problem with their product, their customer support was kind, quick and top notch. They stand by their brand

I needed a heavy-duty badge holder and came across this. I received 2 in the package, and they had a heavy-duty cable which I really liked. They were light weight and versatile. I used 1 for several months and then it stopped retracting. Ok, since I had another one, I didn't seem to really have a problem until the 2nd one did the same thing. I contacted the seller and after a few emails and proof of purchase, I was quickly refunded my purchased price. And just as quickly, I Purchased 2 more. I really like the product and would recommend it to a friend (which they bought some as well). I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 since there was a problem with both of them.

You won't regret buying this. Bought 2 and it looks durable. Cable is made of solid wire that will surely last

Product voelt solide, op de lange termijn moet het zich nog bewijzen.

phenomenal. exactly as expected and more, the cable is even laminated. easy recommend.

Me ha durado mucho tiempo, algunos años, no recuerdo cuando lo adquiri.

Vsble is sturdy, but whole product is mediocre. Carabiner feels weak.
