Retractable zingers also known as retractable badge reels are devices that can be used to secure your ID badge, security pass, public transport card, keys and more to your clothing, keeping your essentials nearby.
They feature a nylon wire that extends and retracts, so you can pull your card or key away to use it, then have it return back to its original spot. They also have a clip design to securely attach to your clothing.
Retractable badge reels or zingers are similar to lanyards, as they allow you to access your cards or keys easily without losing them or dropping them.
But, with zingers they *Zing* back into place, whereas lanyards hang around your neck, at a fixed point.
It’s personal preference, but for either, always shop at AAC.
