Review on FEELSO Heavy Duty Metal Badge Reel With Belt Clip, Key Ring, And 6 Plastic ID Card Holders - Retractable Steel Wire Cord Extends Up To 25 Inches (Pack Of 2) by Marcus Munoz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Durable and strong yet heavy

Yes, yes and yes on the durability, sturdiness and stretch.So this thing is heavy and the casing is very solid. The string feels silky soft l (if that’s a thing to describe steel Cord) meaning it doesn’t scratch or slice your skin when it retracts or rubs on youLikes: it is sturdy and you need some bit of force to pull. But that goes along with its sturdiness and ability to hold heavier objects. I only have my I’d, my tracker and another work card that would normally droop when I use a regular I’d holder, but this one stays. And yes I prefer this because if it’s length and it always retracts no matter how much I tug on it.Dislike:It is heavy lol. My scrubs tend to droop on the side this is on. This is probably best used when you have a belt or anything sturdy to hang it on. This is great with keys and/or constant use (my Work ID is for doors, unlocking computers) and it does take getting used to cause of how tough pulling it out. I usually have to rearrange my Scrubs because we are required to have our ID’s above the waist.So generally speaking: best to hang on belts, great for heavier objects like keys and/or constant pulling/retracting, bad to hang on soft areas in clothes for it tugs due to its strong retraction.Would like to have a technology to make this as durable but lighter weight since I love this minus the weight but otherwise, I’m keeping this cause I’m confident it’ll lastUpdate: After using this for more than a month I did notice one thing: the steel wire has a covering that feels like plastic or rubber (not gonna pick at it to find out) that is fraying. The steel wire still feels intact. There is a "stuttering” feeling when you pull the wire but it still works really well. I don’t think there’s a way around not fraying this outer wire coating. Otherwise no big changes with this. I still use the one that I took out. Still makes my scrubs tilt one way but still feels sturdy that it won’t snap at me or drag down from the weight of my badge and other cards

Pros
  • Comes in a convenient two-pack
