DEF CON 34 Jack Sidekick Retractable Mini-Reel for Keychains, Key Organizers & Badges
The DEF CON 34 Jack Sidekick Retractable Keychain & Badge Mini-Reel is small but mighty and capable of holding up to 6+ keys or a Keyport key organizer and a badge giving you easy access whenever you need it. Built in the USA with globally sourced materials, the Sidekick has a strong molded black polycarbonate case and a retractable cord made with DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber. Attach your Keyport or keychain and badge to the twist-free end fitting and secure the carabiner to your belt clip, backpack, work vest, or purse.
