KEY-BAK Schlüsselrolle stabil Kevlarseil bis zu 15 Schlüssel mit Clip, schwarz, KB Super 48, 3.2x12.1x18

Comfortable

As a delivery driver getting in and out of the van hundreds of times a day, this is perfect and durable to keep hands free when not driving, just slides up to your waist. Been using the product for many years and highly recommend. It does break eventually as many other products but it does outlast all of them available as I have tested few of them. The ring hole from plastic to actual roller should be better if tied up better but even if it breaks up then can tie it back to use again for months.

I ordered this recently to replace my old keyring, which was wearing out after five years of heavy use (I had to buddy that one up and attach a second keyring in the final few months to support the increasing weight of extra keys). Anyway, I bought this one having read good reports about it on Amazon. I should mention though, that this keyring isn't made by Baracoda - it's actually built by a US company called Key-Bak, and are shipped over from New York. I've had it for about two weeks now, and I've noticed it's considerably stronger than my previous two combined keyrings. I quite like the ability of being able to 'lock' the keys in place when the cord is retracted, which is done by clipping the attachment into the body from the side. This is particularly useful for me, due to my large key collection. The only thing I would say, is that the cord is VERY long. I'm over 6' tall, and even when the keyring is attached to my belt, reeling out the cord to its full length allows the keys to touch the floor, so it's a good thing I can lock them in place! If you don't mind waiting a few days for delivery, I would say it's very much worth paying for.

So, you work in a job where it’s really important that you don’t lose either your keys or your work pass, or some other knick-knack vital to your role? I do, and I have lost a key or two in my time. That’s where this little key retracting device comes in. Now, I say ‘little’ but this thing is actually pretty large for a key reel; I hope this is to house some fairly substantial innards. The housing is made from black textured plastic, and is stamped with both the brand ‘KEYBAK’ and ‘Made in USA’. A motif of a US flag curls round the ‘K’ of ‘Keybak’. It all feels very robust and, well, American. On the back of the reel, a leather loop is riveted in place. It passed the ‘tug test’, giving nothing to repeated attempts at dislodging it. This loop is large enough to fit on practically any belt, including police and ambulance belts, which are 2” wide. The packaging of the product features a little US cop badge with ‘Duty Gear’ above it, further hinting at the heavy duty nature of the unit. In order to extend the business-end of the reel, the user must first unclick it from a little notch in the plastic of the reel housing. This prevent catching the reel or keys, overextending the cord and messing up the spring. Once unclicked, the cord extends to beyond arm’s length. Essentially, this device does not limit the user in how far away they can use their key or pass, as you’d run out of arm before you run out of reel! Once you have finished using your key or pass, you can let go to retract the key or put the keys back gently and click them back in their notch (recommended). The retracting force is quite powerful, owing to what must be a fairly strong spring; if you let go of your keys you may get a bunch of flying metal close to where you really don’t want it hitting... This key reel is definitely a substantial bit of kit. The little key reels and pass holders you are probably familiar with are extremely fragile, using only a flimsy spiral spring. This feels like it houses something far stronger. The only reason why it drops a star is the plastic construction combined with the distance it sticks out from a belt may make it a bit more vulnerable to damage. Otherwise, great bit of kit and well recommended for any person in a job where retaining your keys or pass is essential.

Had 2 of these and treated them with no respect but still they perform well. The amount of keys you put on them is not really important as the weight is taken up by the 'cradle', just don't expect miracles with the recoil mechanism. One or two keys, maybe a few more, but that's it, don't overload it. Keep in mind, the spring has to fit inside the housing, but the housing is relatively small to help keep the whole unit looking neat, presentable, and desirable. Once the cord has retracted, the keys are held in place by means of the close fitting of the recess where the cord enters the unit. The little 'knobbly' thing then sits in a very small 'dish' shaped holder which helps to hold the keys securely in place without pulling on the cord. I make it sound technical, but in reality, it's a very simple but effective method.

The retractor is top notch. I was a bit worried about the plastic construction but its actually great. I use the retractor at least 300 times per day and ive used this one thousands and thousands of times. The weak point with others was always the kevlar rope especially close the the end just above the ring. This kevlar rope is top quality! Its a lot thicker then others and it hasn't lost a strand since i started using it. Be careful when choosing between the leather band or the metal clip on. The leather band is designed to be used with a wide service belt. You can use it with a normal belt but it can be a bit flappy. The clip is apparently designed to be turned into a proper metal loop but I’ve only seen this when I read the packaging after i got the item so choose wisely. I would have went for the metal clip but im still happy with the purchase.

Super

I'm a delivery driver and keep my van keys on this attached to my belt. No more putting my keys down and forgetting where they are! Strong and sturdy. I had to replace it after about a year but it was getting very heavy daily use. I bought another one immediately.

El llavero es de muy buena calidad. Lo recomiendo

It works as advertised, but this thing is huge. It’s like a badge holder for elephants.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden! Nach 6 Jahren ist nun das Seil gerissen, obwohl ich das Produkt täglich genutzt habe. Das Gehäuse ist robust und hat all die Jahre super durchgehalten. Auch die Einzugsfunktion zeigte über die gesamte Zeit keinerlei Schwächen. Ich habe mir das Produkt erneut bestellt und kann es nur empfehlen!

I have had several Co-Workers ask where I got it. Their comments are generally along the lines of "that sure isn't one of those cheap gas stations ones!". Of course they see me using it to hammer nails into wood. Or to hammer a kip handle loose. Or to break something I don't just want to hit with my hands. They also it carrying several keys and a small flashlight(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006VPPERC/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and even my Locks for LOTO on occasion.(though both locks plus everything else is a bit much for it to hold locked in place. A good swing will send my cord down). It has even shredded my woven belt. It is all frayed from having this thing put on and pulled off it. Rather than being upset, this pleases me. It tells me that the Key-Bak has a good solid grip and makes me confident it won't come off by accident. The only con I can come up with is that the latching is weakening. I noticed that some time ago. It is to the point that even my keys plus flashlight can cause it to unlock from time to time(though keys only still stay in place). A sturdier locking mechanism would be awesome but this one does the job. 10 bucks for something like this that lasts a year with my rough use really is nothing to sneeze at. Plus for Lock-out Tag-out I am unlatching and re-latching at 10 or more times a day in some cases for the locks alone. Add in using my flashlight to inspect parts and it probably gets latched and unlatched over 20 times a day on average, if not more. I lied. There is one other con. The way it latches means that it doesn't work well left handed. I tried switching it to my left hand side and found it much more cumbersome to use than on the right. I am right handed though so it doesn't really affect me much, I just wanted to spread the wear on my belt a bit. So to look at my last con - this item would be beyond perfect if it had a stronger latch that doesn't wear out in over a year that was equally easy to use right and left handed. UPDATE 9/26/2014- Well as of this week it finally bit the dust. That is still over two years of heavy use. And the I could tie the cord around the key ring and continue using it as is. However, the cord finally tore right around the point where it connects to the ring. But I am very hard on it(in fact the general comment from friends and coworkers is amazement in that it took me more than two WHOLE years to break it). All in all I have been very satisfied and ordered a new one. Very good value for your dollar.
