Compared With The Alternatives
| Fixed pen clip on a lanyard | More secure and less likely to lose the pen, but costs more than a simple clip |
|---|---|
| Plastic badge reel with no pen sleeve | Specifically designed to hold a pen, but adds no extra cost over a standard reel |
| Round 50 mm metal pen holder | Smaller housing, but the 45 mm size fits more compactly on a belt or lanyard |
Use Guide
- Clip the reel to a belt, waistband or lanyard using the plastic hook
- Insert the pen into the pen sleeve and ensure it is fully seated
- Pull the pen out to write and release to let the cord retract
- Keep the cord clear of moving machinery when working in industrial environments
- Replace the pen sleeve rather than the reel if the sleeve wears or loses grip
