Heavy Duty Retractable Badge Reel - No Twist B-Reel I'd Card Holder w/Strong Pull Cord and Swivel Alligator Clip with Teeth - Slot Hole Snap Strap for Nurse Badges, Office Keys by Specialist ID

Used it, broke it, Super glued it, still using it.Update: 09/19/2019 Still using it daily!Update 10/18/2022 String finally Broke. 7 years of constant use.

I do love this. I wish it was a bit lighter. The clip keeps it secured well! Unfortunately, the Elastic/string part only lasts a few months or so but I'd assume people don't use it as much as i do and it would probably last much longer for most people.

Sturdy good design that hardly ever twists.

I expected something a little better for the price so my review reflects the price and the quality of the item itself. Average reel, doesn't work well with more than 2 cards which probably disappoints me the most. Another thing that ties in with the reel is the "no-twist" aspect of the badge holder, since the reel isn't all to great, i still experience a twist. Also, the "no-twist" design isn't that great either as the shape makes it still easy to twist since the main thing holding it in is the reel. However it still reduces the amount of twists significantly.The alligator clip works well if the clip is facing down like on top of a polo shirt pocket however if it's upside down like on a shirt collar or something it pulls off easily.Again, I've had worse and it's better than the free ones i can get at work... I was just hoping for something a little better for $4.99

Perfect for my line of work.
