I used this daily at work with my badge. I have a tendency to play with it and pull it out and allow it to retract probably on average at least 30 times a day (other than the times I have to actually use it to badge in). After 6 months it still offers a lot of resistance but I notice sometimes it seem to be stopping about 6 short due to the weight of the badge and holder, so I just give it a little extra pull up. (Once it's retracted it doesn't droop). I like it and will probably buy it again. Considering the price I would recommend getting a couple of them so when the spring finally wears out you can just replace it. Other than that I guess you could say it is a bit bulky, but I don't mind. The end that clicks to your lanyard can also hold other things like keys, a flash drive, or other small devices.
