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

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.

Well made, the steel cable is probably overkill but maybe it counts as a self defense measure in addition to a lanyard holder, thing is practically a piano wire. The internal spring eventually broke after about a year of abuse so I reached out to their customer support via email and they got back to me the next day asking for a picture and order number then promptly sent me replacements, additionally commenting that they'd pass along the "broken spring" feedback to their QA team. Seems like they honestly care about making sure their customers are happy and ther products perform consistently. Overall 10/10 experience with these guys, I bought one of the same unit with an added card protector because I kept sitting on my badge 😂

These key retractors are excellent. After using several plastic ones that broke quickly, these have been a huge upgrade. They’re made of sturdy materials and use a cable instead of plastic, which makes them much more durable. The only one that broke did so after severe use. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for reliable key retractors

I bought a pair at the beginning of July. I only needed to support a key badge, so I didnt scratch the surface of the strength of the reel. Its bigger than I expected and looks overkill for just a badge. Otherwise it appeared nicely made and worked OK until now. As of this review, both are dead. They each lasted about the same length of time, with the reel mechanism failing on both. I was hoping for a fluke on the first one, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I attribute the failures to allowing the reel to self retract (which happens quickly with only a badge), and that action somehow damaged the reel. I'm curious to know if they would have lasted longer with more weight on them, say a set of keys, that would dampen the return speed. For the price, Im not heartbroken, but was hoping for more from these. I have moved to the similarly priced Key-Bak, which are USA made. We'll see if they last. EDIT: Bumped to 4 stars. Seller issued a full refund for my troubles. Great customer support. Thank you!

Great product very strong and durable. I have used them to hold everything from my work badge to keys and pliers when I'm fishing and they only deploy when I pull down on the. I highly recommend them. I have been so impressed with them I've given some to my friends and co-workers

Works great when working in retail! Not too big or bulky and are built well. Overall, great product!

so nice to see well-made things these days - great job, MNGARISTA ! smooth retraction, plenty long cable. tip: it's a nice and strong spring, so if you let go of the end without keys on it, will smack your hand. this is good, it has a strong spring. just a little tip for ya... :) They're not super thin or small, like cheaper ones. These are made to hold your things well, on outside or in a pocket. Highly Recommended ! BEEFY !

The button clasp gave way before the pully did, so towards the end my badge and visuals kept falling off. Nothing a zip tie couldn't fix though until the new one came in. This lasted a long while, with me using it and students pulling on it constantly. I liked the clip and it was easy to take on and off.

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

Je l'ai offert à mon patron qui passe son temps à chercher ses clés... Il y a 2 systèmes d'attache pour mettre aux passant d’un pantalon : soit un mousqueton solide, soit un bouton pression pour pouvoir le décrocher rapidement : c'est bien penser selon l'utilisation fréquente ou statique ! Le fil pour étirer la clé jusqu'à la porte mesure environ 60 cm, c'est bien pratique pour gagner du temps. Ce fil qui s'étend peut paraître gadget mais une fois qu'on l'a testé, impossible de revenir en arrière. C'est très solide, très pratique, à peine plus encombrant qu'une clé de voiture donc je recommande ce produit.

Heavy duty and work well

It feels and functions well, but it will take some time of usage to really know. But my first impression is good.

Bra produkt jag är nöjd
