i separate it in two

house, office, etc:


attached to a micra(but i use to swap it with some other keychain tool now and then) and a P-38, the idea is that in the worst case scenario this will be my LDS(last ditch setup)

car key:


attached to a ladybug, the idea is that i really like the spyderco ladybug and use it for quick and small task :D

and this is how it rides in my pocket:

I posted this in EDCF recently too  :D

Here's mine:

Keyring is an S-biner with bottom catch glued in place. I have had no issues since securing the catch in place.

Starting From Right Clockwise:-

Leatherman Squirt S4 [attached to S-biner with quick release clip]
Below attached to keyring with removable split rings.
House Key & Tesco Loyalty Card
Black Spy Capsule
Telepen [extending pen]
Green Spy Capsule
House Key
Whistle With Inner Space For ID Information
Small Pry Bar [made from flat screwdriver from old multitool]
Led Keylight
Folding Car Key [attached to S-biner with quick release clip]

Both the car key and the Squirt can come off very quickly as can all other items on an as I need them basis. Since the car key and Squirt are sitting higher up it helps the whole keychain hang better. I have been using this setup for a couple of months and so far it has worked well for me.

That blue key looks like the key I use at work to get into our electronic safe, everyone has their own and I have to use a 4 digit pin to access it. What is yours used for?

Im thinking of getting one of those Nite-Ize S-Biner Carabineer as good for removing items you need,

There a bit naff in my opinion, as there's not much power in the spring, so it can easily become detached without your knowing it :-\

This picture is probably buried in the thread that Benner linked to but I'll show it here anyway.



Show is a Vic Ambassador and a Fenix L0D.  The L0D got replaced by a Leatherman Monarch 300 for a while but has just come back for a bit.  The Ambassador (with splitring, most don't have one) gets swapped around with various 58mm stuff as well, my Rescue bladed Rally ATM.

Keeping them both on lobster-claw clips means I can easily take them off the bunch for doing jobs that take more than a second.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

That's why I glued mine shut at the bottom; this frees the top to clip onto belt, etc. Before I did this it was a little unsecure [is that a word :think:] but now I have had no problems. And they weigh very little  :D

Glued it?? Crikey!

I just slipped some gutted paracord over it which is awkward to move and keeps it secure. I guess I couldn't commit in the same way you did :D
