2 Pack Retractable Badge Holder and Heavy Duty Carabiner Keychain Tactical ID Badge Reel with 32” Steel Retractable Cord Bearing 9 oz

I am purchasing this badge for the second time. I bought my first set in April 2024. It works perfectly holds my badge my ID and my store keys. The only reason why I had to purchase again is because the plastic snap that holds the card to the retractable cord broke. I use this badge multiple times a day to enter rooms and offices. The retractable cord and the clip still work perfectly after all the wear and tear. I have my second one to a co worker and his is still working great and the plastic snap that holds his badge is ok. Best ID work badge I’ve ever purchased.

The heavy-duty design ensures durability, and the retractable feature makes it easy to access your ID or keys without hassle. The carabiner clip adds extra convenience for attaching it to bags, belts, or loops. It also securely holds ID cards in place, making it perfect for work, events, or travel. The tactical style is cool and functional, and it’s built to last.

Heavy duty

I bought this heavy-duty badge holder with a retractable clip, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. The stainless steel cord feels very solid, doesn’t tangle, and easily holds my keys, access card, and even a small flashlight. The retractable mechanism is smooth, firm, and doesn’t lose tension over time. I would definitely buy it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a strong, practical, and high-quality product.

I purchased this after a lesser badge reel broke (in an unknown location), leaving me on a Monday morning without a work ID and without my building access card. Hassle! The main features for me are the apparently sturdy cord for the reel, and the heavy duty clip. Both seem to be well made and not prone to breakage. Also, there's a pressure feature in the badge holder that places pressure against the contents of the holder so it's less likely that the contents of the holder will slide out the top of the plastic holder. There are two weak spots, in my opinion. The first is the plastic strip that connects the wire reel to the badge/ID holder, and the plastic ID holder itself. The plastic strip loops through a gap in the hard plastic badge/ID holder and then snaps onto itself. It's pretty standard for a badge holder. However, it's a weak point, in that the snap isn't that difficult to undo. If it catches on clothing or a surface, the snap could release relatively easily The second weak point is the badge holder itself, which is rigid plastic, without reinforcement. I can imagine the plastic snapping (particularly in cold weather) if it were to smack against a particularly hard surface. If the break were at the slot where the plastic strip connects to the wire/reel, then the holder would fall off of the wire/reel. My solution, such as it is, is to thread the supplied key ring and the plastic strip through both my access card and the slot in the plastic holder. That will partially protect against failure of the plastic strip/snap. Alas, my badge does not have a slot to enable me to secure it to anything, so it's at the mercy of the plastic holder.
