It requires wire cutters to cut. However, if the protective film wears away, the steel wires can become brittle with continued use. By following the care instructions and video below, you can ensure its longevity through regular inspection and maintenance. **Care Instructions:** 1. Avoid scratching the steel wire against other objects when extending it. 2. Do not excessively bend or fold the steel wire. 3. Use primarily for holding standard ID badges. Overloading can cause the internal spring mechanism and cord to misalign, reducing its retracting power. 4. Be mindful of the spring tension when extending the cord to avoid snapping it back and causing injury to yourself or others. 5. Periodically apply leather oil, wax, or petroleum jelly to the cord to reduce friction and wear during retraction, extending its lifespan. 6. Avoid heavy objects or external force pressing on the round body of the retractable reel, as this can cause the cord to jam. (The reel is enclosed by two shells; external pressure can jam the internal spool, preventing the cord from retracting automatically.) 7. How to prevent steel wire breakage? How to repair a jammed steel wire? Please refer to the video below: (⚠️ When operating, ensure the retractable reel and steel wire are secured to prevent accidental retraction and potential injury.) https://youtu.be/wBVNoZ3s6xQ **Steel Wire Retractable Reel Warranty:** Within six months from the date of shipment, free repairs are provided.

If the leather becomes heavily saturated with water, dry it as quickly as possible and reapply oil for protection. Allowing it to air dry naturally can cause the leather fibers to shrink, deform, and harden. 2. To prevent dark water stains if water drips onto the leather: Use pure water wet wipes, or a damp (but not dripping) paper towel or napkin to evenly wipe the entire leather surface, including the water spot. Use cool air to dry evenly. If only hot air is available, maintain a distance of at least thirty centimeters from the leather. After drying, apply leather oil for maintenance. 3. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. 4. In addition to the warmth and oils from your hands gradually giving the leather a natural, warm luster, we recommend regularly wiping it with a dry cloth and then applying leather oil for care. 5. Mold spots on leather form over time from the combination of dust and humidity. If storing leather items for extended periods, first wipe off dust with a dry cloth, then wrap them in a dust bag, kraft paper, or cotton cloth (cut from an old white t-shirt) and store in a well-ventilated area. Frequent handling of the leather item (to prevent dust and moisture buildup) can also reduce the chance of mold, similar to the principle of "a rolling stone gathers no moss." 6. Avoid using cleaning or care products containing alcohol. **About Natural Leather:** We strive to avoid noticeable scars from insect bites or other marks that occur during the cow's growth. Each piece of leather also has natural grain patterns. These imprints of its life journey are what make each product unique. **BeingLife Design / Handmade** **Designed and handmade in Taiwan**
