2 Pack - Heavy Duty Retractable Pull Pen Holder - Ideal for Markers & Carpenter Pencils - Nylon Cable, Self Retracting Reel & Tight Metal Belt Clip Retractable Carpenter Pencil Holder by Reel-N-Rite

Good grip, fit a few different sized pencils. Nicely made too.

So far, so good! Either clipped to my tool belt or my shirt, it works great. Still has great tension. It's saved me a step if I'm writing measurements and marking cuts. I can drop my pencil and run instead of jamming it in my pocket and breaking it later or forgetting where I set it. I gave the other one to my coworker and he uses it all the time.

Great but wish the string was just a little longer if the string was longer it would be 5 stars for sure👍

This item has been so effective in useful in my line of work. Very easy to attach to my belt, pants, and at times the pocket of my jacket. I use the regular size Sharpies with this item and I have no problems with the Sharpie nor does it slip out. The length is perfect and has been very durable. Very pleased!

My husband and son-in-law love these

The clamshell design allows you to disassemble it to replace the cord when it wears or breaks. Just like all good tape measures that allow you to replace worn tape blades, this has a Phillips screw through the central axle you remove to open it. I use 50-lb braided line made for fishing line. It is much tougher than the original cord and lasts longer. Don't waste your money on the cheap all-plastic version of this because when they stop working they cannot be repaired. BRAVO to the maker for providing a user-serviceable item. It reduces the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill.

I ordered this specifically for the pen holder attachment- But... It does not hold a pen very well for some reason, unless you push the pen into it really hard. My "good" pen kept falling out, so I ended up just hooking the pen on the ring part. We wear scrubs at work , so when bending over, things - esp pens - fall out, that's why I thought this would be ideal. But at least the badge reel and clip are made sturdy.

The reason I bought this was to keep track of my pencil. Why this particular one? Notice the KEY RING on the pen holder. This means I can easily replace the badge reel part of it, if it breaks. The string is pretty thick but relatively short, if I need a longer badge reel I'll just take the pencil holder part and transfer it to a new one. Dollar stores, craft stores, grocery stores, they carry some kind of retractable badge reel. Also, I use a regular pencil for my wood working (whaaat??) YES. I don't like the feel of carpenters pencil, too bulky and I like my tips sharp. So then I have to make the ends of my pencils thick to make it fit, enter the hot glue gun. Just put some on my pencil, let it dry and bam! I can now use a regular pencil with this holder right here.

Great for a workshop scenario with projects on workbench or stools, however I need them to have a longer reach using on a site situation as a builder to quickly reach over items or overhead use

Great product. Well made, sturdy. Works great

Strong, quick retract. All metal housing is a brilliant feature. And the price can’t be beat! Definitely recommend.

The product is great,

Good quality. Great length. Attaches to good variety of pens, penalised etc
