**Retractable Keychains with Card Holders: A Game-Changer for Everyday Carry**

As a tech enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for innovative gadgets that can make my life easier. Recently, I had the opportunity to try out some retractable keychains with card holders from Mangarista, and I must say, I'm impressed.

The first thing that caught my attention was the durability of these keychains. They're built to withstand rough handling and can hold up to six cards securely. The card holder itself has a little bit of an indentation, which ensures that the card stays in place and can be easily scanned or pulled out when needed.

One of the features I liked about these keychains is their versatility. You can use them not only for keys but also for other items with retractable keyrings, such as tools or accessories. The Mangarista team has thoughtfully designed these keychains to be adaptable, making them a great addition to any everyday carry (EDC) setup.

**Heavy-Duty Construction**

What struck me most about these keychains was their heavy-duty construction. The metal exterior is robust and provides excellent protection against breakage. I particularly liked the full-metal outer shell of one of the models, which not only added to its overall durability but also gave it a sleek, industrial look.

**Carabiner or Belt Loop: Choose Your Preference**

One of the unique features of these keychains is their retractable cable and secure attachment mechanism. The Mangarista team has designed two different options for attaching the card holder: a carabiner and a belt loop. I was able to try out both, and I must say, they're both excellent choices.

The carabiner model allowed me to attach the keychain to my backpack, making it easy to access whatever I needed without having to fumble with multiple bags or pockets. On the other hand, the belt loop model was perfect for attaching the keychain to a belt or waistband, providing a secure and convenient way to carry my cards.

**Reinforced Vinyl Strap**

Each of these keychains comes with a reinforced vinyl strap that provides an additional layer of protection against breakage. The Mangarista team has clearly thought about the durability requirements of their customers and have designed these straps to be robust and long-lasting.

**A Great Addition to EDC Gear**

In conclusion, I'm extremely impressed with the retractable keychains with card holders from Mangarista. Their heavy-duty construction, versatility, and innovative design make them a great addition to any everyday carry setup. Whether you're looking for a secure way to carry your keys or other items with retractable keyrings, these keychains are definitely worth considering.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endo you ever have a product in your life that you use on a daily basis but you're just not happy with it this happens to be all the time and when I find a replacement for something that I have to use every day I will tell you one thing it makes me very happy that's why I'm excited about this product that I'm going to show you today these are from mangarista they're retractable keychains along with a card holder so this was sent to me from mangarista to take a look at and the one of the reasons that I immediately said yes to them is that I have to use a PIV card or a door entry card every day and I have gone through multiple retractable keychains in order to try to make sure that I'm using one that doesn't break all the time these are supposed to be made super tough super durable so let's open them up and check them out in this first box right here we have the badge Reel with card holder so this is one that you can buy that actually has the badge reel and the car card holder so here's the card holder and the badge reel and in this box right here we have a retractable keychain for keys and badges so this is basically you want to purchase the retractable keychain separately and they're different kinds of keychains they have a bunch of different uh kinds of keychains on their website so you can see that this particular one has the badge holder right here you hook this onto your badge as well as being able to have have keys on it and then this one here is another set of keychains but these ones are the extra heavy duty ones and right off the bat one thing that I definitely want to say is that these are ridiculously well made this one here is a lighter weight badge holder and one of the things that you'll notice about all their different products is the fact that the inside cable right here is a wire cable with a nylon coating now what that does is it gives extra strength and extra like longevity so the difference between these two this one here has a little bit of a carabiner at the top that allows you to hook onto like a belt loop or onto a hook and this one here specifically is made to hook onto something like a belt and then these two here this one also has the belt hook but these are extra heavy duty if you're in a situation where you want a heavier Duty pull chain then this is for you and then at the same time they had the exact same one here one with the belt loop and one with the Carabiner on the top so I think that one of the things and I'll leave the link down below one of the things that you'll want to do is go and take a look at their full lineup of retractable keychains they have keychains they have badge holders they have wallets so I think that when it comes to the quality and the production quality of all these gadgets I think their goal is to make one that lasts like I said I've had multiple retractable card holders keychains that just end up breaking especially the card holder itself so if you take a look at this this holds up to I believe six cards it has uh basically there's a little bit of an indentation here so when you slide a card in it's going to stay secure and you're able to basically scan it from in here or pull it out if you need to scan it depends on what situation you have if if you don't have a card that goes into your building you might have keys with a little key fob that allows you into a building that you can put on here also easily pull that out and scan it so each one of these retractable keychains comes with a heavy duty keyring be able to put all your keys on here and then also this vinyl snap that allows you to basically Loop it through the card holders just quickly just so you know these two here are much lighter than this one and this one this one has a full metal outside I don't know if you can hear that or not but it has a full metal outside a giant retractable cable as well as a very sturdy key ring and ending here so both of these and you can see the difference is they're both the same thickness but this one has the belt holder on the back these two here are not made of metal if you don't want to carry something around that's as heavy as something like this then you know if you're in a business outfit or something like that something like this would work this is more of a plastic enclosure so there's two different options and like I said each one of them comes with this little reinforced vinyl strap right here so all you have to do is basically put it on the card holder just like that snap it in and you're good to go so if you need to be able to have your card uh any of your cards I might be going on a vacation soon on a cruise and a lot of times they give you your room cards and I hate carrying those around I'm always worried about losing them so I might go ahead and bring this hook it on stick my card in here and then have something that's completely secure to make sure I don't lose the card that lets me into my room and again like I said I'm actually very excited about this had plenty in the past that have broken and these are extremely heavy duty what I'm most excited about is the fact that I have the option between the Carabiner or the belt loop right here this one here I'm going to go ahead and put on a backpack that way it can hang there I can access whatever I want whether it's keys or whatever they're securely on there if I bang it into something it's not going to break this one right here I'm actually going to use on a belt loop so that I can swap the cards in between to basically depending on what I'm going to use it for you know you don't have to use this for Keys you can hook anything on here that's retractable that you need to use if it's a tool or if it's something else that has some sort of keyring attachment so in general as far as your EDC gear I think that when you look at these retractable keychains retractable card holders from mangarista as well as the card holders themselves and don't forget head over there and check out their wallets too they're pretty nice I'll have to pick up one of those next to take a look at but I think for their whole lineup I'm extremely impressed I think we have a winner here as far as each one of these items that they sent over for me to try out and always like I do say I'm just a tech guy trying out different things and
