MNGARISTA Heavy Duty Retractable Badge Reel, 8 oz 31.5'' Keychain, 2 Pack | heavy duty badge reel, 8 oz pull force, 31.5'' retractable keychain, reinforced PC housing, durable steel wire cord

At first it was great, badge holder, a couple of keys. Worked perfectly for about a month, month two, started sticking on retracting (It was often extended nearly full length). Today I threw it away (6/11) Not what I expected from something so highly rated. Update 6/22 after my review being disappointed with the item, the seller contacted me and offered a refund. I asked if it would be possible to get a replacement which was as VERY quickly sent. I am now using the new one and will update this again in a week or two. My original review was 1 star and the prompt satisfaction has raised that to 3 star. Update 7/17 -- extremely happy with the product now. The first one must have been a fluke because after it was replaced I have been using the replacement daily and "hard" and it has fully lived up to my expectations. Vendor was extremely responsive and helpful.

I’m extremely pleased with this heavy-duty retractable keychain. The build quality is excellent, and it feels sturdy enough to handle daily use without any issues. The retractable cord extends smoothly and retracts quickly every time, making it convenient to access keys, ID badges, or small tools without having to detach them. The clip is strong and secure, keeping everything firmly attached to my belt loop or bag. Even with multiple keys attached, the retraction mechanism performs flawlessly. I also appreciate the durable construction, which gives me confidence that it will last for a long time. If you’re looking for a reliable, heavy-duty retractable keychain that combines convenience, durability, and smooth performance, this is a great choice. Highly recommended!

Works better than expected. The cord is good quality and the metal clip on the back hasn't bent or broken in a full 12 hr shift a day for a whole week. Also the item itself may seem large when you get it but it's worth the length of the cord. I've bought and used many others that may have been smaller but being over 6ft tall means I gotta get my blade (or whatever you're holding) to a comfortable height AND distance and I haven't been able to do that whith ANY other product. Very satisfied with my purchase!

Used for a few months, worked great overall, very strong cable pull. But I dropped it twice on the warehouse concrete floor within the span of a minute, and it broke apart at the hard plastic seam, uncoiling the spring as well. Annoying but not too hard to fix with superglue. Only had a card case on it to begin with, so it probably just hit the floor at a bad angle

So far so good, great quality.

I bought the double pack of these retractable badge holders around 4 years ago. I had gone through 5 or 6 fairly expensive ones from Walmart before deciding to buy these. I am still on #1 of 2! The 2nd one will be great when/if I ever need it. The plastic is worn a little bit on the sides of the actual piece that holds your badge, but the material is reinforced with some kind of (fabric?) material, so it's barely notable. The metal button that you fasten can get loose with time (as in, years). If that happens, just grab a pair of needle nose pliers and pinch the metal prongs tight again, the part that clasps the button. The metal body has held up well, the cable is a champ, and reinforced with plastic housing. I use this thing probably 50 times in a day, every day, for 40 hours a week. Absolutely no complaints - it's rare that I can tip my hat to a solid product anymore.

I don't usually write reviews (except in my head lol!) but wanted to let you all know that this badge holder lasted 3 years! Granted I'm part time at my job, but use it dozens of times each day at work. And I tried the new design, but it wasn't nearly as rugged and nice and the clip kept coming off my belt. So if you're undecided on the model or this brand, I heartily recommend you give this model a shot!

I loved this initially and recommended it to co-workers. I loved how heavy duty and sturdy it seemed. Over time, however, on 2 different ones, I've had the same issue. The little metal clip puts pressure on the plastic. This looks to be some feature to where you can remove it from the clip, but because it's 2 different pieces, eventually the pressure causes the plastic to wear way. After a while you end up with a retractable badge that you can't clip to anything anymore. Also, the strong tension on the cable makes it perfect for holding a lot of heavy things, but it also makes it so that if you're not careful, pulling your badge out to gain access to something, the clip can come off of you and send it slamming together. Really, I think the clip part of this is the weakest part. Eventually it will release from the plastic to where you can't keep it reattached, and it's slick enough to slide off of your pocket. I'll be trying the model with the carabiner as that will likely fit my functionality better.

Très robuste ne fatigue pas

Très belle construction. Solides. Ressort de qualité. Ligne en acier. Clip de ceinture facile à enfiler et à prendre une fois rangé.

This is the third time I have bought this type of product, and these are definitely the best. They are very heavy duty, and the plastic coated metal cable has great tension, so very secure. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it if you need a heavy duty retainer!

Realmente muy buena calidad, 100% recomendable Actualizado el 8.1.2026, compré estos artículos en el mes de septiembre, como creí que eran buenos, los recomendé a mis compañeros, compré dos más para ellos y en cuestión de pocos días el hilo de metal se ha roto, me siento decepcionado porque parecía muy resistente

It is very strong, it never falls off and yet it is very light. It also looks sturdy. I tried other brands but they either broke, fell off your belt or simply too loose. This a solid set of merchandise.
