Buttonsmith Hokusai Retractable Badge Reel With Alligator Clip - 36In Standard Duty Cord, Made In USA Review

These badge reel holders with interchangeable faces are not only BEAUTIFUL but sturdy and don't snag clothing. Perfect purchase :)

I have to wear a badge to work everyday. Unfortunately, I'm not always wearing clothes that have belt loops. The other type of clip is the clamp/alligator and those don't work well either when you're wearing a dress and you pull on your badge to tap the security/door lock and it pops off your clothes. So glad I found one with an actual pin. Maybe I didn't read the description properly but the heading was a little misleading (to me); I thought I was only getting the Great Wave image (which I…

This product is super cute and I loved it when it first arrived. Unfortunately about a month after I bought it one of the pictures broke and I lost it, so far the other three are holding up (apart from falling off the magnet often) so it may have just been a fluke!

These are very attractive options for those of us who have to wear a badge and don’t like the lanyard option. I feel they also offer an expression of artistic likes.

While aesthetically pleasing, I'm afraid I'll lose the magnetic Van Gogh paintings! It's more flimsy than I was expecting. I'm not sure that this is something I'll be using long-term.

I love how durable the clip is. I work in hospital and from the moment I put it on it stays on all day! Highly recommend it That's my feedback.

No problem overall. The magnet does allow the piece to come off w/o much banging but not a problem so far. Would get especially as people have noted it's attractive. Most importantly, it does its job and retracts well and completely.

I really like this card reel! I love that the button design is interchangeable. I've had mine for a few months and the only issue is the press button that holds the ID at the end of the real will often come undone. I've dropped my badge several times because of this. It's super fun, but be careful you might lose your card!

I had a few issues with this product:1. I should have read better, and noticed that it was 1 holder with 5 covers, not 5 whole holders, it was priced higher than the 5 packs, so assumed it was better quality, not less product with less quality2. Clip is very loosely attached and just flops around on the back3. Clip is NOT an alligator clip, it squeezes open, but not long with the multitooth, it's just a squeeze clip4. The 'cable' is thread - a very light thread5. The plastic badge holding flap…

I like the design, really easy to switch out caps. I do wish the lanyard was stronger. The return on the line is kind of weak and does need to be manually retracted at times. I do not believe that mine is any heavier than the average nursing badge. I have bought cheap ones that retract quickly and flawlessly (until they wear out).

These are so pretty and I love that you can have more than one design. I much prefer Retractable ID badges over lanyards. Gave them as a gift to my student teacher and now I want some for myself!

I love the fact that they are made in the US and that you get three different ones! Please come out with more artists! I've been wearing it for a year and no issues whatsoever!

The quality of the badge reel is average to slightly below average but I loved the magnetic covers for the real. They're very pretty.

These are super cute and the badge reel is still working well four months later. Would buy again, but I don’t need to! Thanks for attention.

Love this product. You can change it to go with your outfit or mood. Sturdy, easy to change faces, they’re magnetic, but they don’t fall off even with a busy, active job like mine.

Love the images. And the retractable component is nice and sturdy! I think I'll prefer the belt clip, as I wear it on a pocket vs. on my shirt. That will prevent the digging into my leg when I'm sitting.My complaint about ordering the wrong clip was handled compassionately and professionally via email to which they respond quickly. Good customer service is hard to find but THEY DID.

I purchased the Van Gogh Tinker Set. The package came with 4 buttons and 1 reel. The buttons are attached to the reel with a magnet, which seems to be strong enough to keep the button in place. The designs look great and add some flare to my everyday outfit, particularly since I can change the buttons. This product is extremely useful when I need to scan my ID to get in and out of doors within the hospital I work at.I am satisfied with my purchase.

I wished the cord was a little thicker. My previous cord was thicker and lasted me 5 years. I was given that one so didn’t know where to purchase it.I’ve had this one for 1.5years now.so far so good. I took a pic of the card next to a standard paper clip. It’s half the width of the paperclip. I have three matching lanyards with this reel and have only used one so far.

The pictures are adorable and nicely printed on the reel surface. I have been using this one almost everyday for months without any functionality issues.

This is the worst badge clip ever. The cord doesn’t retract. The magnet covers come off so easily. I’m mad I didn’t return it in time. This is a complete waste of time & money.
