## Description

The KEY-BAK Sidekick is making waves! The Sidekick has quickly become a top seller among all of the KEY-BAK SKU’s. So what makes it so special? Our customers love the versatility of this product, as well as its compact, yet functional form. Men and Women, especially in an office setting, want a product that will hold their keys and other small items (like a USB flash drive) as well as their ID or security badges. The durable polycarbonate case makes the product super strong, yet very light, and the zinc alloy carabiner conveniently clips onto belt loops, bags or purses, keeping the Sidekick always accessible, yet secure. KEY-BAK manufactures the only USA-made badge retractors with a carabiner attachment. Last three times longer than the competition. Professional duty.

Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reliable and Durable Badge Reel! - The Key-Bak Sidekick Professional Heavy Duty Self-Retracting ID Badge/Key Reel is perfect for everyday use. The retractable Kevlar cord is strong and extends smoothly up to 24 inches, making it easy to access your ID or keys while keeping everything securely attached. The heavy-duty construction ensures that it can withstand daily wear and tear, and the black design is sleek and professional. This 2-pack is a great value, and I love how it makes carrying my badge and keys so much more convenient. Whether you’re at the office, on-site, or in a professional setting, this reel does the job perfectly. If you need a durable, high-quality badge reel, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!
Review: Still going strong after 7 months of constant use - As a custodian for a high school, these sorts of keychains are like butter on bread. Having to lock and unlock literally dozens of doors every day, I wanted a keychain that would be easy for me to just grab the keys clipped to my belt loop, unlock and relock a door, and not have to think about it or fumble around. Since I started using this keychain, the motion has become fluid as water. In my particular setup, one of these keychains holds my primary 4 used keys. I keep the other keys I rarely use separate on a basic carabiner. The second keychain clips to another belt loop and is attached to my RF security card/key, which I have to flash in front of a sensor to enter the building and clock in/out. Working a typical 5 days a week, I have yet to have any trouble at all with either keychain. No falling apart, no worn springs, no broken strings, or anything of note. In fact, near as I can tell, there isn't even any sign of either keychain wearing down, which is something I sort of expected. I suppose if I kept the other 20ish keys on the keychain, the weight might have become an issue, but that many keys on one keychain like that would honestly detract from the fluidity of my work, so I don't see any point in trying to test the keychains to that extreme. Update after 9 months The snap on the badge clip wore down enough today that, when snagging my badge on a door, the snap came undone. When I put my badge back into the clip, it was clear that the snap wouldn't hold as strongly as it did when it was new. No problem. With a pair of needle nose pliers, I gently closed up the circle that grasps the knob on the snap and the snap is now working like new again. I don't consider this a fault with this keychain's design. All snaps will wear out over time, and I have a habit of snagging my badge on all sorts of things when I work. Otherwise, both keychains are still going strong.
