text: These badge holders do the job they are intended for, but don't be fooled by their rugged appearance. The carabiner on my first one flew off within a week just from pulling on the badge cord. Luckily the clip on the back is independent from it and remained on the unit. I do like that they send you 4 though. The retractable holders I've bought over the years usually give out within a year. I hope these last longer. I make multiple pulls a day as my job requires it.
