"The cord itself can easily handle loads exceeding 80 pounds and is highly abrasion-resistant, so it's not going to break without quite a fight, and is capable of handling big bunches of keys -- even with a lot of EDC gadgets attached.

"The features a 36-inch Kevlar cord wound onto a retractor that's powered by a stainless steel spring built to handle loads up to 15 oz/425 g. The retractor mechanism is housed in a tough, impact-resistant polycarbonate housing that can take a serious beating (I slipped and fell on this one hiking down to the base of a dam once and it shrugged that off). On the other end is a strong spring clip for attaching the KeyBak to clothing, belts, or rucksacks."
"The Ratch-It will lock out at various lengths so you're not having to fight against the ratchet all the time, which is handy for keys.

KeyBak offers tether options with varying styles, retraction strengths, and cord lengths to suit different loads. The unit features a 36-inch Kevlar cord on a retractor powered by a stainless steel spring rated to handle loads up to 15 oz/425 g, while the cord itself can withstand more than 80 pounds and resists abrasion. A tough polycarbonate housing protects the retractor, and a strong spring clip attaches to clothing, belts, or rucksacks.
