Specialist ID - 3 Pack - Heart Shaped EKG Badge Reels - Retractable Cardiac Badge Reel with Alligator Swivel Card Clip for Nurses, Cardiology and More (Red)

Super cute idea, but it is simply too big and heavy. Wore it for two days straight and had to keep readjusting it higher and higher until it was just stupid. No matter where you put it, unless you put it on a pocket (and the state doesn't like that), it will pull your top down. And even if you do put it on a pocket, it will cause your pocket to gape open (unless you put it on a pant leg pocket...and the state REALLY doesn't like that lol). Super cute idea...not practical at all, unfortunately. Maybe the company will see enough of these types of reviews and put their cute heart/EKG design on a smaller, lighter weight badge reel.

Retractable cord wouldn’t recoil and left my badge stuck hanging down 6-12 inches. This happened with all three badge holders within a day or two of use. In my opinion this is a cute but worthless product.

The first one in the three pack worked for five days- started using it on Monday, stopped retracting on Friday. For a few weeks I could manually recoil the string but that soon stopped working too. The second one I could never use because the snap to secure it didn't snap shut (the snap pieces didn't fit). The third one took Herculean effort to snap shut and I have used for an entire week. Don't buy just a waste of money.

These are a nice size badge holder and is perfect for me because I work in a cardiac wing doing telemetry. The design is a perfect touch and I got the white ones as well. Glad I did since my coworkers liked mine, I had extra. The retractable works smooth without catching. The only thing I don't like about them is the clip spins, I'm always having to center up the heart which causes my badge to flip over.

So far, this badge reel has held up through 6 12-hour shifts of almost hourly use. The tether continues to reel in and out without difficulty, nice and smooth. The badge is lightweight and doesn't pull down my shirt. Three stars only because time will tell if it holds up under the long haul. But at the price of $11.99 for three, it's a very good bargain.

UPDATE: it took him over a year to go through all three and his coworkers all asked and complimented them. About to put in another order! Very happy with this product.—I bought this as a birthday gift for my bf and he uses this daily without any issues. I love that it’s a three pack just in case something happens but so far (two months of near daily use) he hasn’t had any issues with them. So happy with this purchase!

This badge holder successfully holds four cards and a ring with three keys and is still able to fairly reliably reel itself back in. I've been using one for about two weeks and have no complaints thus far.

broke after a couple uses or some didn't retract at all after one use.

I purchased these for myself and to offer the other two as a small gift to work colleagues. I'm a cardiac nurse so this is perfect to hold my badge! I have been using it for few years now. The elastic string got weaker after few weeks of use but still does the intended job. Love it!

Not the stongest of items.The first one keeps breaking when pulling out the reel. Has so far self corrected. Lost the second one to my patient cos he loved it One left..

Purchased these for my partner who works in cardiology.Nice item...she seems happy.

Lovely design but break/fall off of uniform easily.

Great do the job
