ELV Retractable ID Badge Holder

The one work give me broke, I found this one and I don’t know how it can be sold for the money because this is solid as stone my coworkers are all going to get them. Come in different colors but it’s easy to clip on, great price point and smooth as far as retracing and functionality, this things got durability, size and functionality all in one little unnoticeable package,

UPDATE #2: 15 months later this broke. The rubber piece that attaches the line to the badge holder broke and the line sucked back up into the reel. However in the time I had it it did not have any other issues or sagging in the line up until it broke. UPDATE: Almost 8 months later and this is still going strong. No issues with the line going slack or any defects. I use this to badge in and out of computers constantly at work and it is still performing the same as when I got it. 5 stars I'm a nurse and our badges are used for access to tap and go computer logins which means I am pulling on my badge reel constantly on my shift. Regular badge reels break down and fall apart after continuous use and get saggy and stop fully retracting. I've been using this since the end of May 2022 and it is in the same condition as when I received it. It has a removable clip if you want to hook on a loop or add keys or the classic clip style for wearing. The wire is plastic coated and the plastic has not worn down and the entire thing pulls smoothly and retracts quickly. I have zero complaints. My only con to this product is that as it does contain a metal line that appears to be durable is that it could be used as a method for strangulation if you had a patient who was a danger to others- I just keep that in mind and remove my badge from my shirt in those cases.

This thing is slick. It's a little bigger and heavier than I expected, but not to the point it's cumbersome. Can definitely tell it's durable from the moment I opened the package. The metal looks good and seems extremely solid, including the clip. Pulls out smoothly with a stronger than expected spring to retract it back in. I use this for the keys to my semi and it has been a blessing. 10/10 I would highly recommend! Edit: after about 4 months the plastic inside broke causing the spring to fail to retract. I'm surprised that all the parts are metal, but they chose to make that part plastic. But of an engineering flaw if you ask me. But it was good while it lasted, just wish it would have lasted longer. Reduced rating to 4 stars because of this.

I have been using the ELV Retractable ID Badge Holder for almost 2 years now, and I must say it has been an outstanding companion. This heavy-duty badge holder has proven its durability and reliability under heavy conditions, making it a truly exceptional product. The metal body of this badge holder is incredibly sturdy and has withstood the test of time. Despite being subjected to daily use in a demanding work environment, it remains in excellent shape. The Dyneema cord, known for its strength and resilience, has been the perfect match for this badge holder, ensuring smooth and hassle-free retraction every time. I am particularly impressed with the longevity of this badge holder. It has consistently performed flawlessly, without any signs of wear or deterioration. Even after almost 2 years of heavy use, it remains as reliable as the day I purchased it. This speaks volumes about the quality and craftsmanship of the product. In addition to its impressive durability, the ELV Retractable ID Badge Holder offers convenience and ease of use. The retractable feature allows for quick and effortless access to my ID card, while also keeping it securely in place when not in use. Its sleek design adds a touch of professionalism to my appearance, making it a great choice for any workplace. Overall, I cannot recommend the ELV Retractable ID Badge Holder enough. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of durability, functionality, and longevity. If you are looking for a reliable and long-lasting badge holder that can withstand heavy conditions, this is the one to go for. It's a true 5-star product that has proven its worth!

This item is perfect for whoever that needs a sturdy retractable ID/key belt clip. I’ve used multiple of these before for years, the only weakness has been two things: One, if the wire is pulled past the end of the travel of the spool, it will separate. Which might be a safety feature, but it just means that it’s a failure point that needs to be taken into consideration. Two, after much use the wire will wear and the strands will separate near the key ring, causing injury if you grab it. That’s with the units I’ve had in the past, it looks like the design has changed since the last time I needed to replace it. If it performs differently, I’ll update my review, but otherwise I highly recommend these units!

I brought two of these on a cruise for myself and my husband. All the staff on the cruise were so impressed by it whenever they took my cruise card, and I even gave the one for my husband to my mom because she wanted one too, and he didn’t end up needing his. A bartender even asked me about it enthusiastically and I let him keep it and he was so happy to have it for his keys. You’ll be the talk of the town with this awesomely sturdy little doo-dad. It was very convenient to have and it does its job!

The prior edition of this lanyard had a twisted steel thread rope I had it for 3 years and when the steel thread broke I was able to repair it three times once every year but it was way to take wire cutters, plyers and repair it. The quality was amazing the steel case the construction and a steel rope truly gave me confidence. This new one has all the same construction but now it has a rope that is supposed dyneema rope that according to the web is 15 times stronger. We will see and I will update this post of possible.

Terrible. I have had it for 5 months and it can no longer hold my two cards and a single key. The cable no longer retracts fully.

Initially, when this arrived I thought it was going to be strong and durable, but after less than 8 months and it’s broken.

Good

Holds a ton of keys or whatever you need. Retracts perfectly and has a heavy duty clip. Also comes with a carabiner as an attachment option. This is the first one I've found that actually holds the weight of ID tags and multiple keys.

Excelente calidad en sus materiales y el cable se ve resistente

I like that it is very sturdy
