Keys mostly... other than that, a War Amps keytag in case they get lost, and a SOSAKOnline carabiner to carry them.  One of my keys is a handcuff key that also includes a small LED flashlight.

jzmtl- I was thinking of making that pry tool.  My thought was to use a 1/4 inch wrench so I could strap a Phillips/Flat head bit on it and use the closed end as a driver.

The only key chain tool I currently have is an old S&W site tool (two different size flat head screwdrivers.)

I just picked up a limited edition thick G2 Atwood Tibaby. I was able to get this because it has a nasty scratch on it. It's a user, so who cares!  :D Peter only made 42 of them and said he can't get anymore of the thick ti stock. Too bad because I've owned over a 100 Atwood pieces and this is by far my favorite. I don't know what I'll do if I lose it. :(

In case anyone is interested, that is a solid titanium ring and Arc-P flashlight that is attached along with my keys. No.... I'm not a janitor!! (http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/Smelp/Smilies/bwahaharoll4vu.gif)


I almost forgot. The colored keys are a titanium alloy and they are super strong. Too bad they are no longer made. I do have a stash of blanks left when I worked in the hardware industry.

I have finally decided to carry stuff on my keyring  :tu: .  I used to pocket carry everything and then have thress seperate sets of keys but after a bit of change around I have managed to get on there...

My sosak caribiner,
a few keys,
Atwood Gasbaby,
Key sergeant,
Fenix LOD,
ResQMe,
Utilikey.

I'm going to add a whistle to it and may have to get a nice titanium keyring as John's got me drooling over those.  ::)

I have never really carried tools on keys before so it will be interesting to see how I get on.  I still won't put a small SAK on there though.

Besides me keys, I have a small screwdriver set. Just like the two at the bottom of the picture in the 1st post of this thread. http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,8176.0.html

I also have a little LED flashlight I got at Wal-Mart. It's not fancy but it works good enough for me, IIRC it costs 2 and a half bucks. I also have a small 36" tape measure and a Vic Classic. I have my P-51 can opener(big brother to the P-38) and about 3 feet of ducktape in my wallet.

Damn...  :think: My keys are just... keys. 2 for the house, one for the office, one for the truck, and then the truck's remote thingy.

Well, and one of those little alumin(i)um bottle openers. And I am thinking of dropping that.

I do carry my keys on 2 split rings attached to an S-biner. Is that still cool?

Maybe I'll get a Photon Micro on there.  :tu:

It actually isn't very heavy at all.  The GasBaby, Keysergeant, Sliver grippers and whistle weigh practically nothing and the only "heavy" bits are the few keys and the torch.

Ben, add a lithium battery to the Arc and not only will you get longer battery life, but the lithium battery is super light so it will reduce the weight of the torch.  :tu:

A key?  I have so many keys that I have had to divide them up into 3 different bunches and when I am at work I have a fourth as well.

Kinda reminds me of an old comedy bit- I think it was Stephen Wright.

"When I went home the other night I accidentally put my car key in the door.  The house started right up, so I decided to take it around the block a few times.  A cop pulled me over and when he asked where I lived I said "right here.""

Ha, I wish. It's the house key. My jeep key has a ignition kill remote by previous owner, plus key for the locking gas cap (somebody stole the original one) so it's exceptionally bulky. I keep it on a seperate ring that I only grab when I drive.

I use rechargeable cells in my fenix l0d so I don't care if I leave it on high all the time. The pure energy brand I picked up claims to be LSD type and only cost $7 for 4 at walmart.

Look at the blue hotspot, if it's square/round it's DS or below, if it's oblong it's GS.

I've finally reached what I think is my ideal keychain EDC - starting from tomorrow I'll find out!

Although there's a fair bit on there, it's surprisingly light at 120g (4 oz) so I think this configuration may last a while.

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/keychain.jpg)

The latest addition is the Vic thing that allows me to separate my car key from everything else quickly, which was a PITA previously. Together with the S-Biner, anything that needs detaching can be got at easily.

I typically have a SAK on mine, however it's absent due to the fact that I'm in the middle of a scale transplant - a Manager-cum-Rambler and Classic SD-cum-Signature.  Also absent is the typical Fenix E01, which has been placed in my Urban Wallet; so that just leaves a P-51 with cellotape wrapped around the blade to keep it closed and a harvested Victorinox bottle opener/large flathead screwdriver/wire stripper. :)

Oh, and four keys.

Ah, you've missed the kitchen sink. It's right there on your right. Just punch a hole, add a split ring, and you're good to go. :P :D

Not much changed on mine.  Keys (obviously), cheap whistle (even less blue), red Fenix L0D (colour holding up OK and now on it's own lobster clip) and a 74mm Ambassador.

Gareth, do you find the ammbasador a better size to use on a daily basis over a classic size? I have classics on all my keys, but I am considering getting the ammbasador. Assa keys, I use those in work too!

I'm not Gareth obviously (nowhere near as good with a Claymore) but I used to carry a 74mm Exec on my keys, and there that bit more capable that it makes it worth carrying one imo :)

I like the classics cos they are useful while remaining discreet. Is the ammbasador still as discreet Mike?

It really is only marginally longer, and is still very inoffensive despite it being considerably more useful in the cutting department :)

I'll agree with Mike here, the 74mm is fine on a key ring but it will depend on what you are used to being their.  YMMV as they say.  Some more of my thoughts are here: http://www.sosakonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=470&Itemid=35

As I point out in the article most Ambassador's don't have a split ring but I may know someone to ask if you really wanted one.  :)  Otherwise I think the Executive would be fine too.

No split ring? Now that I didnt know :tu: Yep, If I go for one I'll defo need one with a s/r Are they difficult to come by?

Seems odd that they don't doesn't it? :think:  They're certainly not the norm, but I don't believe they're collectible or anything.  Always worth worth checking with Felinevet: http://felinevet.sosakonline.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 by dropping him a mail.

Am I being a bit dim here? Whats the difference between the executive and ambassador? To me they look the same, apart from the split ring.

Here is the source of all SAK knowledge, the SAKwiki, to the rescue.

I'll get one up tonight hopefully.  The tinker small would be heavier, and longer.  I always have a knife on me, but sometimes its just a simple folder.  I don't like a lot of weight on my keychain, and added weight of a SAK doesn't work for me.  Plus it looks interesting.

A gerber shortcut.

And soon to add  ;)

A artifact

A pico widgy this to be used instead of my thumb nails  :ahhh I should also point out this too can be used effectively for stealth defence tool  :D

A larger widgy to be used for defence if necessary

Other than a Fenix E01 and LiquidSunshine cash can that are carried beside my keychain on my Victorinox belt hanger, on my actual keychain I keep an Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers, a Photon II, and a Victorinox Rambler, together with two keys.  Very rarely will I also carry a salvaged Victorinox bottle opener and a P-51 alongside the keychain, as it's most often slipped into my backpack or messenger bag for the day.  Nonetheless, I thought I'd add it to the list anyway.

A gerber shortcut.

And soon to add  ;)

I made a couple of changes to my keychain setup. I added a titanium Atwood Atwrench and I'm trying out a Fenix LOD that I got in a trade with Dennis. So far I really love the LOD as it has 5 really useful setting all in a single AAA package.  :tu:  In the background is my new Emerson Raven Super B.   :mail:

I've taken to carrying my LM Monarch 300 light loose in my pocket so I felt I had room on my keys for a couple of tools.  To that end I've got my P4 and a Classic.  What I really want though is the upcoming PS4. :drool:

Those monkey fists do look cool.
I have a length of 550 cord connected to a Vic coupler. Basically turns the keys into a flail  >:D If I'm walking to my car late at night or something, I carry the keys by the cord.

I used to be a locksmith and have always tried to limit the key chain to just---  keys.
That said, I always have a cheap/bright AAA light in the same pocket, and a knife/multi tool in the other pocket. 
The thumb drive, cell phone, and a 3-way pen are in my shirt pocket.  (Insert nerd comments here _________)

The key chain itself is stainless, and has been my standard pocket carry since before the internet.  It lets the keys lay flat in my pocket and has held from 3 to 14 keys through the years.

I've tested it on myself, not full strength of course but just messing around and I gotta disagree with ya. If I hit someone up side the head really hard with mine they're gonna see stars. Plus, I would plan on hitting them more than once.

I suppose that's actually a good point, I'd be more likely to rely on my a 2 aa torch like the L2D or something tbh. Was just an idea that I had. I suppose it would serve better to distract the attacker while then you could land some heavy punches  :D

I'm not a great torch person but this works very well IMO.  My thoughts are here:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,15406.0.html

The tactile finish doesn't last very long as the HA seems pretty soft, but TBH it really doesn't bother me.  I also think the tactile finish was responsible for most of the scratching on my SAK scales rather than the ribbing, now it's worn down it certainly seems to be less of an issue.  All in all it's a very good little pocket light. :tu:

Hey Guys,
When it comes to EDC, I carry the following:

1-Leatherman Micra
2-Stainless steel peanut lighter
3-Stainless steel Inka pen
4-P38
5-Aluminum alloy whistle
6-Streamlight Nano light
7-Gerber Artifact

All if these are attached using McGizmo clips to a titanium ring and a stainless steel pocket clip to help with the weight.

On my auto key chain, I carry an LED light.

I also hump a Streamlight MicroStream Penlight, either a Leatherman S2, CS4, or a Wenger Evo S585 and of couse, I cannot overlook my Droid..

My GF breaks my chops, but I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.. I guess I was traumatized by Cloverfield huh?

Cheers,
Serge

Can't stand things on my keychain either... :-\

ATM I have one keychain with house/work keys, having just five keys and a (fairly inconspicuous) "TRUE KeyTool" on one of them, and a keychain with my Alfa's single key, a MT.O RRT and a fauxton. Both of those rings also have a standard clasp, attaching them to either a Vic belt hanger or a paracord "keyper"-type-of-hanger, depending on dress code. That's it -- no fobs or other extra stuff -- and they still seem like a lot for my pocket... :-\

I'm finally going to admit that I just don't use a bottle opener very often. If I need one I always have my trusty Pioneer or Farmer by my side. I really love this simple Atwood keyton. It's made of S30V steel and is much thicker than a usual keyton. It also has less grinds and I actually like it better.  :tu:

I should get around to photographing my keychain. I just picked up a couple Pocketwrench II's, and wanted to put one on a split ring. A couple minutes later, the ring is bent to heck, and I'm looking around for one of my various little beaded chain things. So, my current set up is:

Keys (4)
Alox Classic
Sliver gripper tweezers
Pocketwrench

It's kind of a fun thing to twiddle around with.

I too have two keychains. On my car keychain I have the car key, a small LED light and a ResQme. On my other keychain I just have the other keys I need and a small LED light. I used to carry a USB flashdrive, too, but that's now in my bag. I carry all the other stuff on a Victorinox Multiclip, and it's on me no matter what keys I carry. On the Multiclip I have my iTP AAA EOS upgraded and a knife, at the moment a Vic Compact.

I used to have a lot of stuff on my keychain. Light, small knife, whistle, flashdrive, pen. Didn't work for me.

I'm a big fan of the Atwrench.  (Currently have a Poltergeist on my ring--a little smaller though).  Is the glowdot from Peter or added afterwards?  I've been tempted to play with glow powdery stuff...

Honestly?  Almost never.  It originally went on as an addition when I was out hiking and it just never came off again.  Now it just wouldn't feel like my key bunch without it.  Mostly been used in 'hide-and-seek' type games with my daughter. :D

Is it a master key system?  I know suppliers can be very funny about selling blanks for master systems, they'd much rather sell you pre-cut keys.

I've not tried getting a spare of this key cut in years so I don't know about Assa specifically. 

BTW this is the place I've gotten just about any key blank you can think of, they've never not had something I've been after.  Could be they could help you out.

Yeah, I've worked in several buildings with that kind of system.  Each lock cylinder will have a unique code printed on it (you'd need to remove the cylinder to see it) say something like A23.  So keys that open that door would be a Master, Sub-Master A, or key A23.  Sound about right?

Now somewhere in the dim past the company that installed the locks would have given your department a register of all the locks, their locations and the keys that fit them.  Most importantly they'd have given a site reference number with which to order pre-cut keys, i.e. A23, Sub-Master A etc or new lock cylinders.  As you've found they are very reluctant to just supply key blanks and frankly they can charge whatever they want for supplying the pre-cut ones.

The shop I linked to above really might be able to help if your original supplier or Assa aren't willing.  Could get you Brownie points with your boss. :D

I bought the black ladybug because my friend disapproves of my black endura, so I was thinking of corrupting him by sending him a tiny lookalike.

Post by: Gareth on February 14, 2011, 08:15:39 PM
I've been re-thinking my keyring lately.  For a long time now it's been keys, SAK/Micra/Squirt, AA/AAA light and a cheap aluminium whistle.  I think I've decided that in my urban, everyday life, I don't really need to have a whistle on me all the time, so it's gone. 

A good AA or AAA is a must, I use a torch so often at work that it would be inconceivable not to carry one. 

Finally on to the SAK/mini multi and I'm genuinely in two minds about this.  Workdays I'm carrying one full sized multi and either a SAK or pocket knife, so a third tool seems utterly redundant to my needs.  At weekends I drop down to just a SAK or smaller multi. Now if it's a Micra or Squirt it'll most likely go on my keys but otherwise not.

What's bothering me is that I've stripped my keys right back and it feels odd, but objectively I've really not lost anything particularly useful. :think:

I've been trying to convince myself to carry a whistle, but don't really need it!

I have a shiny Atwood one which is great to play with but I'd hang it round my neck instead when it was likely to come in useful I think.

Mine is trained to me whistling fairly quietly, so I've never had an excuse as we only ever go to parks and she stays near enough.

I really wanted a titanium shackle like this but they ran $93 and have been discontinued anyway. I picked up the exact same size in stainless on the bay for $8.95.  :tu:  The titanium one weighs 1.1oz and the stainless one weighs 1.4oz.

That is a custom titanium whistle with tritium. It is made by a guy I know on another forum. His whistles are waaaay better than the Atwoods and they're about the same price. Really well made.  :tu:  Oh... He sometimes takes custom orders. I had him make me one with a glass breaker on it but I sold it.  :cry:

Sorry to be off topic but looking at the universal wrench area found in this Atwood design, as well as other tools such as the PowerWrench II and  a SwissTech tool (I forget the name of exactly), I wonder if the closed end could be reconfigured as  a carabiner swinging gate, instead of a rigid closed circle. If you swing it outward and away you have an open box wrench ("crescent wrench"?) design which can address bolts that closed designs often cant get at, yet when closed shut it then reverts to being a more traditional and almost as strong/solid closed design. Anyone see what I'm gettin at?

I know what you mean - kind of like the aligator wrench on a Wenger. You'd probably need to beef up the tool thickness though as you'd lose a lot of strength in opening up the end, particularly when turning larger bolts

So whats on your keychain?

One of these:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/6d98/ (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/6d98/)
plus a malfunction code extraction tool for older model GM cars. Remember when you could short two pins in the ALDL connector (under the Instrument Panel) and the check engine lamp would flash a code--one flash, then a pause, then three flashes for code 13, etc.? I don't think that's been used for over 11 years, but I never took it off my key ring.

Post by: Farmman on June 30, 2011, 11:20:19 AM
Lol. Yes you are right I made this from a piece of regular full size bar. I have never said it is beautiful.
My reason for carrying this tool is for it to perform the tasks which would stand a good chance of damaging my full size multi of that day.  Recent tasks have included removal of gunk from around a door frame. Opening a old draw at work when the handle broke.
My personal fav, hammered into a wall to act as a make shift hook to keep the rest of me gear away from the gunk that was on the floor.
Atwood (and others) are true works of art. I have recently paid for one (but not yet received it). However the idea of using something that cost more than my multi's to save them from abuse does seem silly to me, but each to his own.

Cool look forward to seeing it. The nice thing with the home made is once knackered through use, you make another but modified with what you learnt from your previous attempts.
As said previous I am using an old full size prybar which I cut down to suit. Owing to friends and work mates asking for one I have recently bought another to cut down.  Each bar gives me 6 blanks so each tool costs less than £1.
Good luck with it.

haha gareth...we carry very similar items on our keychain.  heres mine:

leatherman squirt ps4 (THE keychain tool to have if u need good pliers, scissors are great too), ITP A3 EOS Upgraded (XP-G R5 LED), solid metal pendant keychain from the DMZ in korea, house key and car key


i see u have the itp a3 eos as well in stainless it looks like.  if they upgrade the maratac aaa to xp-g r5 emitters i will take that over the ITP, even though they are identical lights, just different cosmetically. i prefer the tailstanding ability and the better body design for a reversible clip.

No worries songa, it's not exactly obvious in my pic. :D  I decided on the A2 as I already had a Fenix L0D, that would have been near identical to the A3 anyway, and the extra run times of the A2 appealed. :)

The Fenix E01 isn't much larger than the Solitaire, and you can get about 11 hours off a single AAA; the best part about it, is that it's only $12-15. :tu:

I have a couple, actually; I really like them, though you have to be careful; the narrow construction of the tube doesn't allow for Alkaline venting, so batteries have the tendency to swell; actually, I've been finding my Eneloops swelling, too, which should not be happening; I don't know what's up with it.  Still, for the run time, I'd not trade the E01 for anything; it's the best AAA killer I know - if you think you have a dead AAA, put it in an E01, you'll have it running for several hours.  The Gerber Infinity Ultra is the same way, only with AA batteries, instead. :tu:

You also could leave the small split ring where it is in this photo but NOT loop through the carabiner's metal gate, and attach the large (main) keyring just to that, leaving the carabiner gate intact.

[The PS also has another small split ring attachment location, located at the top of this photo, that also leaves the carabiner area intact. Just sayin'.]

Yup.  They are a better size/function (than the Chigger).  I like the Ghost as well.  I've been carrying an E115 because I like the wrench set on it (since I'm not carrying the Wenger S557 at the moment).

I love the E115 (and own one  :D) but I find it just a tad heavy for keychain carry. I tuck mine in my Leatherman sheath in my man purse.  :tu:

This is funny, you quoted my post from three years ago, and I just happen to open this thread today to see it!  :D

It's easy, just cut the open end off a wrench, grind into a prying tip, and cut the v notch with a dremel if you want it.

My keychain has changed dramatically since then though.

I keep my keys separate from my keychain tools now actually...  ::)  I decided to do that because I don't want my keys beating up my new Executive.  I put a larger split ring on it, and but it and my high CRI Preon 1 on a small carabiner that I keep in one pocket, while my keys are on another in another pocket.  I'd like to get a small plier tool to go with the Exec and P1, but haven't decided if I'd rather have something like a PS or a P4.

For a small lighter, check out the 'split pea' by CountyComm.

I too like to keep my keys so they can be separated into two chains, keys and tools. Then on the tool chain I like to keep the useful tools like my Micra and Light on clips so they can be detached to easy use.

Here is both of the keychains
(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee58/primeLM/124-1.jpg)

(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee58/primeLM/121.jpg)

On my keys I have a small prybar just in case I don't have my tool chain near buy. :) I use a lobster clasp to attach it to the other tool chain.

(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee58/primeLM/122.jpg)

On my tool chain I have my:

Vic SwissBit
Leatherman Micra
Trusty old Fenix P1D CE
Stonewashed pill Holder
Whistle
Paracord wrapped prybar
Monkey fist lanyard
Detachable lanyard with glow in the dark end

I carry both on my with homemade anodized titanium  danglers. One big and one small.

Seriously though, I'm looking at them and thinking how similar they are to pry bars. I wonder if some clever person, more adept at fabrication than myself, could construct one which serves both duties. Anyone?

Attached to the carabiner, I have a woven paracord (used about 12 feet) lanyard about 7 inches long. On the bottom of the lanyard, there is another carabiner like the one on top. The bottom biner holds my stuff:

Yes, wouldn't work on half of trolleys here either. That's way I keep a faux plastic coin in my coin purse. But I did think of making some the first time I saw them. That's why I bookmarked the link. It would be a handy little tool.

Sparky415, I really dig that polished Artifact. I may have to copy that idea, if you don't mind!

In exchange, here's an idea for you [or anyone else reading this], for your, what looks to be non-utilized, green plastic name tag thingy [or perhaps you removed your name/address just for the photo, for privacy/security reasons, perhaps? Even so, this, as you'll see, will work even with a name tag in place.]:

Stealth, key chain carry, mini paper/box cutter. SEE WARNING BELOW! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKU0vVd886c#ws)
It's my homemade, stealth (covert), micro paper/box cutter, hidden in a "Hillman Flexible Key ID Tag", I presume with the same dimensions as yours with rounded ends, available at many, common hardware stores.

[Please read my warning in the Youtube link's description area, people,  and don't break your local laws or absentmindedly forget you have it on you when you shouldn't. (Like when boarding a plane!)]

(http://www.classicgod.org/Uploads/keychain%20%28kopia%29.jpg) (http://www.classicgod.org/Uploads/keychain.jpg)

County Comm titanium split ring, 2 Nite Ize S-Biners (sizes #1 and #2), pice of paracord, County Comms Split Pea lighter, Leatherman Squirt PS4 and a cheap LED light. Don't get me wrong - I own few Fenix LD01 lights but IMHO AAA lights are too bulky for a keychain. This cheap light has no electronics so it's practically water and dust resistant - if it gets wet so wet that it doesn't work I can just disassemble it with my PS4 and dry it out. And the best thing about it is that you get 10 for $5 and that includes batteries and shipping ;)

Don't get me wrong - I own few Fenix LD01 lights but IMHO AAA lights are too bulky for a keychain. This cheap light has no electronics so it's practically water and dust resistant - if it gets wet so wet that it doesn't work I can just disassemble it with my PS4 and dry it out. And the best thing about it is that you get 10 for $5 and that includes batteries and shipping ;)

Welcome to MT.O!   :cheers:  Nice keychain setup...   :tu:

Sparky415, I really dig that polished Artifact. I may have to copy that idea, if you don't mind!

In exchange, here's an idea for you [or anyone else reading this], for your, what looks to be non-utilized, green plastic name tag thingy [or perhaps you removed your name/address just for the photo, for privacy/security reasons, perhaps? Even so, this, as you'll see, will work even with a name tag in place.]:

Stealth, key chain carry, mini paper/box cutter. SEE WARNING BELOW! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKU0vVd886c#ws)
It's my homemade, stealth (covert), micro paper/box cutter, hidden in a "Hillman Flexible Key ID Tag", I presume with the same dimensions as yours with rounded ends, available at many, common hardware stores.

[Please read my warning in the Youtube link's description area, people,  and don't break your local laws or absentmindedly forget you have it on you when you shouldn't. (Like when boarding a plane!)]

As mzil said be careful with this one guys.

Especially in the UK;

3.  The Schedule to the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988(1), which specifies offensive weapons for the purposes of section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988, shall be amended by the insertion into paragraph 1 of that Schedule after sub-paragraph (n) the words—

“(o)a disguised knife, that is any knife which has a concealed blade or concealed sharp point and is designed to appear to be an everyday object of a kind commonly carried on the person or in a handbag, briefcase, or other hand luggage (such as a comb, brush, writing instrument, cigarette lighter, key, lipstick or telephone).”.

Handy? Yes, but it could land you in trouble  :-\

bizarrely I was just going to look for that passage.  I was in Costco earlier today and saw this for sale:
http://www.swisstechtools.com/proddetail.aspx?pid=44 (http://www.swisstechtools.com/proddetail.aspx?pid=44)

Now I was always a little doubtful about the original utili-key, but that was just about distinctive enough to not really look like a key.  This one however is definitely over the line IMO. :-\

^I agree Gareth.

Here in the States, and some other places, the laws are quite different, though. [Not that I am defending it or condoning them].

Thank you for posting that UK law, cerbera147! It's good to be able to see the specific law that would be broken in the UK. Here in parts of the US, where it is legal to walk into a alcohol intoxication establishment, a bar, with a [*gulp*] loaded handgun !http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/us/04guns.html  (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/us/04guns.html) [I had no say in the matter, so don't blame me], I don't think they'll worry too much about mini paper/box cutters on one's keys.
---

Even though I specifically put text in the video [even its very title] which directs the viewer to read the warning below it, in its description field, and put in a secondary warning directly  in the body of my post, for this forum, I kindly ask that anyone relaying my idea similarly direct the viewers to my warnings, and that they too be asked too similarly, forever on, relay the warnings to others. Thanks.

Cerbera147, I hope you don't mind, but I am now about to add that legal text into the description field of my YouTube description field, and I will give you credit for finding it , of course.

I just put my keys on another ring.  I carry them separately because I don't like a giant wad of keys and EDC stuff all on one ring.  Too big and clunky for me.

Well, it took a while, but I finally figured out my perfect keychain/pocket EDC set up; my Dragonfly 2, high CRI Preon 1, and my Style PS on a small carabiner.  Fits in a pocket, hangs from a belt loop, or from a neck lanyard when needed.

I carry my keys separately on another carabiner.  I also carry my SAK Executive sometimes as well.

My brother and I made roughly one dozen of these, and Bic lighter sheaths, over the course of 3 nights, in 2006, to send to buds in Iraq.

i do luv your Tabasco sheath. how would a amateur with no knowledge of making these, have a go at making something like that.

my main questions are?
where did you get the materials from and is it expensive? and do i need any special tools or bits of equipment?

cheers mate, i would luv to have a go at making something like this for some of my keychain tools. and SAKs.

5hif7y,

The sheaths are not hard to make. The original thread was found on a now defunct (and sorely missed) forum on gardening and hot peppers ( imagine that ;) )

But I have since found a wonderful kydex DIY site. I am NOT affiliated with this site in ANY way. Now thats cleared up.

http://www.paracordsecrets.com/articles/35/article.html (http://www.paracordsecrets.com/articles/35/article.html)

We used a little electric pizza oven that was gathering dust in a basement. No more pizza baking afterwards. :D
Make sure to purchase a pair of heat resistant gloves with good deterity. We made a crude press out of old automotive seat foam and used plywood that worked wonders. Much of what you need can be improvised.
I would love to find the time to make more of these to sell. But current work schedules are keeping me from too many of my favorite hobbies. Including surfing MTO more often. I love this forum!
 I have several Vic mods to finish that are looong overdue.
In a area that is plagued by extremely high unemployment, I won't complain too much though.  :)
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?

I just decided to revamp my keys.  I removed the everpresent EZgo golf cart key that I've always carried because I just never need it now that I don't work on a Resort.  I also removed the pocket widgy pry bar because I don't use it enough to justify the weight.  It lives in my jumbo now along with it's big bro the EOD breacher bar.  Try as I might, I couldn't remove the Maratac AAA because it is too awesome. 

My next addition will be an atwood if I can come up with funds.  Probably not soon.

Hey gang! New member here, but I've lurked for a while before registering. I recognize some folks from other forums, too. Anyway, here's my keychain and my other EDC stuff:

Do you ever EDC a full sized multitool?

Do you ever EDC a full sized multitool?

Thanks! I don't carry a full-size on my person everyday. I keep a LM Wave in its sheath in my workbag and that's with me at work no matter what. When I'm not working, it depends on what I'm wearing and what I'm doing that day; I'll take along my Bucklite 355 or clip a LM SideClip to my back pocket (opposite my wallet).

I definitely want to try a Leatherman P4 or PS4 to replace the Micra, though. I always need small pliers and the Utilikey and knife tend to make the Micra a bit redundant. I've also considered picking up a Juice S2 for years, but I know I probably won't carry it, so it always gets pushed to the back burner. One of these days...

WOW you carry a BuckLite 355!! :o I did not think any one carried BuckTools any more.
The only question I have is what is with the pink lanyard on your Micra?  ;)

Yeah, I love the design of the Bucklites. I know they don't make 'em anymore, so I sorta baby the 355, but I'm certainly not afraid to use it when I need to. They're a nice alternative to LM's stuff and definitely built tough.

As for the color, I love pink! Picked the purple Olight, too. I know most guys get hung up on only sporting "manly" colors, but I just don't give it any thought; I'll carry whatever looks cool to me. What's funny is my wife refuses to carry any EDC items that aren't black (her BM555 and Fenix E01 are both black); I was worried she might take my i3 since she liked it so much, but she said she didn't want it because it was purple!

I wanna get some pink knives, like the Manix 2 (it looks amazing) and the ESEE Izula, but I'm too broke right now.  :(

Hello and welcome :cheers: nice selection of goodies :tu: I briefly had a Bucklite 355, very nice and unusual tool, unfortunately the plier tension springs had fatigued, leaving the tool very loose, oh well, its gone to a new home now.

 I'm a knife guy at heart, but in the last year or so, I've turned my attention to the other aspects of small, everyday tools. My main goal is keeping things as small and pocket-friendly as possible. I'm pretty happy with my setup thus far, but there's always room for improvement -- and therefore, an excuse to buy new toys. Right?  :D

I love all the SH games, though admittedly, I haven't played Homecoming (I have it, but haven't had the chance to start it).

Thanks for the kind words, folks! Glad to be here!

Small Keyring that goes in a pant's pocket: a comprehensive one-piece pry tool; 1 car key; 2 house keys.

Large Keyring wrapped in a bandana that goes in a coat pocket or bag: Victorinox Swisschamp; fire striker mag-bar/flint; Acme Thunderer whistle; Mag-lite Solitaire; small sharpening steel wrapped in painter's tape to prevent damage to itself as well as from damaging other gear; 1 car key & 2 house keys that are duplicates of the other keys on the small keyring.

Indeed, I believe so, too :D And it definitely looks cool when the colours match :D


Decided to take a picture of mine, too, although it's quite simple :D

The picture turned out a little blurred, may be because the keys were hanging and swinging..

(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg95/nikoleta_rangelova/keychain.jpg)

As I have whole 6 keys (too many for me), I don't want to make it any heavier & bulkier. I only have either the Fenix E01 (currently) or another small flashlight and yesterday I added the lanyard which comes with the Fenix E11 - makes it more convenient to hang wherever you can or even around my wrist when I go out to the local shop :D Again saves some space.

 :cheers:  i did a post on this little MT last week, including close ups, its a good combo with my tinker as small drivers and pliers, plus scissors that are ok if not a little small, but a good MT for small tasks, i use the carabiner as i attach it to my backpack strap to make it easyer to remove the keys when i get home  :tu:

Very cool setup you have got there!  :tu:  I have also been looking for a pill capsule to put a ceramic stick in but they were all too small. The ceramic stick is from a Gatco Pocket X sharpener and is about 2,7" long. So I ended up with a Go Tube from Survival Depot. This thing is huge but has the advantage that I can wrap duct tape around it.

What size is your capsule and ceramic stick?

Always ever evolving but here's my current set up. Flat split ring, Nite Ize .5 S biners, Modded LM Style CS with Squirt plier head and scissors, Princeton Tec Pulsar light. Microtech UTX-70 d/e. I'd like a different light but I wanted light weight so use the Pulsar currently. This set up allows me to handle most things that come up during my day. With a modded Skeletool clipped in my right pocket I'm all good...for now. ;)

Amici,
Depending on my mood, I usually bounce between my Swisschamp in sort of pouch or a Skeletool. These are followed by a Fenix E01 torch or a Maglite Solitare, an Exotac mini fire steel, an Inka pen, and sometimes a Leatherman Micra.

All these tools are attached with McGizmo clips on a welded Stainless Steel ring with an inside the pocket clip for comfortable carry.

Cheers,
Serge

Light day today, being Sunday, so the LM Surge stayed at home and off my keychain; replaced with the slimmer, shorter LM ST300.

To go with the light theme I replaced the Cold steel Espada I usually have on my keychain with the Cs Kudu.

That's insane. o.o  At that point I'd just do whatever I could to figure out some master key for each series of keys, and especially not carry a full sized Leatherman on it.  :ahhh

One ring on there is all masters,another is sub-masters another is for mech,electrical closets. The smallest ring is for the campus town houses and the Army ROTC building. Plus rings for elevators, windows,paper product despensers,tool lockers ect ect...

 20 years ago that key ring had one ring on it. Lost keys,break ins, vandalism, core changes and new buildings added more keys over that time.  The Blast was for show and add to that montrosity.

Well it does look rather ball-and-chain-y; the Blast could be the attachment for the ball of keys. o.o;

Anyway, this morning I switched out my Alox Classic SD for a Squirt P4 on my keys, seeing if I can stand that additional weight and bulk during the dead heat of summer.

Very nice selection of good tools. I've looked at those tweezers a couple of times but they seemed a bit to expensive for me, and Uncle Bills grippers always worked great for me.

I just thought to point out that some of these small, stylish, rectangular clippers being discussed might not have a keyring attachment and others may lack a file, so just because you see one which superficially looks identical, look into these possible drawbacks (if it is important to you) before buying.

I have what I believe is the original grand daddy of these, received as a gift, decades ago, by Hoffritz, and they do NOT have a keyring attachment, IIRC, but do have a nice file. Later versions of it, called "INOX", are said in some reviews to be more flimsy by people who have owned both. Just a heads up.

AS best as I can tell, these are identical to the Hoffritz:

The items you see are not very heavy actually.  Bulky though.  The knife was the heaviest and it's gone now.  When I had another/extra car with a HUGE key & remote it was stupid bulky.  With 3 cars in rotation I still took the time to remove stuff when driving.  Now? Just in the VW.  Plus I work from home so not driving all day like before.

Thanks though!  Moar pics!

I switched to carrying my House and Car Keys together on a ring and a VIC Classic, Fenix E01, and Orange Cadet on another ring. It has been working out very well.  :tu:

Nice looking...

Though I think you should find way to take car key separately from other stuff (take it off other keychain stuff) while IMHO it can ruin and break your ignition on car.... :think: :think: :salute:

From personal experience...yes, yes it can.  It took me a couple of months before I finally realized that was why my car kept shutting off while driving on the interstate.  Once I replaced the ignition switch, no more problem.  Of course the only thing on the ring now are the two car keys and the remote.

For a couple of days I'll be trying the Fenix E11 on my keys... I've always thought it was too big and clumsy, but when I did a simple calculation, it turned out to be about 30gr lighter than carrying a AAA flashlight and a keychain size multitool on the keys :D

I really like the Leatherman Micra, I just feel it has a lot of overlap with my mutlitool (skeletool cx) it has even more than that. I would probably wear a micra/juice if I used a SAK as my main blade.

*AHEM*. It's purple, not pink. [Not that there's anything wrong with that.]

True story: It all started with the purchase of the Leatherman XE6, the top of the "Juice" line, which at the time was ONLY offered in "Thunder Purple". I'm normally an "Everything should be black!" kinda guy, but I really wanted that top level Leatherman and had no other choice (at the time, a gray option came later). Over the decades after I bought it, I decided, "Well, if you have to go with some color when black isn't an option, you might as well stick with purple." I kid you not.

There's no key because this isn't my EDC key chain. It is my collection of things I couldn't get in black! :D

This little baby showed up today :tu:

(http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii155/theonew/shard.jpg)

Quite happy with it. My only complaint is the thickness of the "flat drivers", haven't found a slotted screw yet that they can fit. I foresee busting out the dremel and thinning them down a bit. The thickness might also be an impediment to certain prying tasks in that the tip might not be able to wedge in very well. Overall it's a nice tool.

I found the same problem with my Shard, and did use a Dremel on it.  Works fine now.  It really is a useful little sucker, I use it for prying all the time.  It lives on my keys, and is another of those items I'm always forgetting that I have on me until I need it.  :tu:

I like the shard ok, but I agree with the driver thickness.  I ground mine down too, and I also ground the phillips off because it got in the way of my keys and poked me, and it really didn't work anyway.

Both the black and white 0.9mm cord that I have came from different sellers on ebay, and if available will probably show up in a search.  When I want a different color, like red, blue, green, I can just use a sharpie/marker and color over a length of the white cord, then knot with it. ;) GPJ Rope (http://www.gpjrope.com/blind.htm) sells it, Fixmyblinds.com (http://www.fixmyblinds.com/String-Size-Visual-Helper-for-Lift-Cord-String-s/43.htm) and other mini blind supply sources usually have it, R&W Rope (http://rwrope.com/warehouse-specials/rope-cord/handy-hundred-cord.html) also has their version it.

Thanks Sean! I have be pretty careful, I know my inclination is to load up my keychain but I have to remember that it's a key chain and not a toolbox. I keep what I use and toss what I don't.

The large (only 1.5") carabiner is perfect, the only that would make it better is if it has a swivel.

I just posted an interactive YouTube video which allows viewers to click on some of the homemade items I keep on my survival keychain, to then be taken to more detailed, dedicated videos on the items they've selected.

WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE, AND NOT THE EMBEDDED VERSION, BELOW!!! CLICK THE YOUTUBE LOGO IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER TO DO THAT, OR SIMPLY CLICK THE (BLUE) HYPERLINKED VIDEO TITLE, "Ultimate Spy Survival Kit Pt 5: Keychain Breakdown Summary" [appearing just under the embedded video below]:
Ultimate Spy Survival Kit Pt 5: Keychain Breakdown Summary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82YPQN6rJNI#ws)

If you view it here as an embedded video instead, clicking on an interactive red rectangle will unfortunately NUKE the current video playback and take you to that new video, WITH NO WAY TO RETURN TO THE MAIN KEYCHAIN SUMMARY VIDEO, at least none that I am aware of. Watching it at YouTube properly opens a NEW window for the selected item you've clicked on AND correctly pauses the main video, so you can easily return to it later.

I don't carry this keychain around as my EDC house keys, BTW; I use it on hikes, camping, etc.

Guys, is a Widgy pry bar as useful as a knife edge? I know it's there to replace your blades, which end up broken, but if it does not taper to a thin edge, I can see most of the applications I need unfulfilled. I may just stick with the beater blade on my Sheffield multi.

I must agree with you. Most part of my very ocasional prying necessities can not be done using a pry bar. I've made a very thin one and the only thing I'm able to use it for is to remove staples, it is just too thick for the rest.

Title: Re: What's on your keychain?
Post by: Steinar on January 15, 2013, 11:06:55 AM
Would you guys say that you prefer the Brewzer to the Widgy?

IMHO: Pocket Widgy is a better prybar because of the length, Brewzer is a little more comfortable opening bottles with. (As you have to use the good old "everything is a bottle opener" technique with a Widgy.) I like both. Frankly, I can go through most days with just a knife and a P-51, a P-51 opens bottles just fine too.
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?
Post by: scorpion008 on January 16, 2013, 03:10:08 AM
One last question...for now. :twak: For those that have both (Widgy and Brewzer), which has a better, thinner edge for prying into narrow cracks? I like working with/demolishing electronics so this is one of the uses for any prybar I get. Also, is the boxcutter on the Brewzer equalled by any part of the Widgy bar? <-Second most useful function.

Good question. The pry edge on the Brewzer is slightly thinner at its peak, compared to that of the Widgy. However, the Brewzer is, overall, thicker. I own the Micro Widgy (3") and it is longer than the Brewzer by about a half inch. This length, along with the curved end make the Micro Widgy feel better suited for dedicated prying tasks. Keep in mind that the Widgy is hardened and the edge could be thinned even more (and further back than in its current form) with relative ease, should you need a more slender taper at the pry end.


The box "ripper" at the end works as advertised and pops tape just a hair easier than the Widgy, but I don't find it to be significantly better. Again, the length comes into play here: I find it easier to get a good grip on the 3" Widgy than I do the 2.5" Brewzer, which aids in leverage when busting the tape on a box. The forked end of the Widgy serves just about the same purpose, when you turn it on its side in the same fashion as the Brewzer.


Lastly, one thing I should mention that I never gave any thought to until I owned one myself: I find the location of the bottle opener on the Brewzer to be slightly inconvenient in regards to repeated use of the box ripper. Just when my thumb rests on the jimping to drive the tip through a box, my index finger lands in the crook of the bottle opener and that little hook digs in a bit. It's not unbearable, but I would not want to break down a large supply of boxes using the Brewzer alone. In fact, I don't -- I use a knife. The Brewzer will work in a pinch or for the occasional box just fine, however.


Should you elect to use the 2" Pico Widgy, I'd say all bets are likely off and the Brewzer may very well come out ahead. Against the 3" Widgy, it's a bit of a harder sell.  To me, it really comes down to size, convenience, and how often you're gonna be opening beverages.


I like the Brewzer and it's a cool little pry bar that works well and does what it should. But compared to my Micro Widgy, I find it comes up a bit short in the prying department. Hope this helps a bit!


Title: Re: What's on your keychain?
Post by: Gadget Guy on January 18, 2013, 07:41:38 PM
The Brewzer's tip is a little think for my liking, so I have thinned it down a bit using a scotchbrite wheel on a bench grinder and it worked like a charm.  :tu:  I didn't profile it on my smoke Brewzer because it's kind of rare.

The great thing about the Brewzer is it does so much and for its size and weighs next to nothing and the price is right. I've had hundreds if not thousands of pocket tools and I've yet to find anything close as far as overall use. I don't use a bottle opener very often but it's nice to know it's there when I need one.

Anyone notice any difference at all with the Leatherman branded tool?

Today's EDC keychain, with Shields of Strength pendant, bottle opener key, SwissTech Utilikey, Thrunite Ti flashlight, Leeds compact pen(with Fisher universal fine point refill installed), & a couple of keys on the EXOTAC FREEkey System, along with various Gaucho knots I added to some of the items with 0.9mm cord. :)

(http://x9c.xanga.com/680f91e521c31284209311/o226746172.jpg)

Bought the FreeKey (https://www.exotac.com/freekey-system/) the week it was released for sale, and been using it up until yesterday.

Have a light-weight swivel snap that attaches to my keyring. Each smaller ring has its own key(s): Suzuki, house, and a pair for mom's Cadillac which has two keys on that ring.

Was walking out to the mailbox, heard a ta-ting. Stopped, looked behind me. There's the set of Cadillac keys on the ground. Was puzzled.  :think:
Slipped it back on, and heard yet another ta-ting. The Suzuki keyring landed on the ground.
Looked at the smaller rings, they are not spread nor damaged. The main key ring looks like normal too.

(http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/Xelkos/Xemoticon/thyikes.gif)

Not sure what could have caused two sets to just fall off. Going back to a split ring because if this happened in another time or place I'd of been out a set of keys - or worse, some cars too.


The other two rings must have worked themselves out, despite the two full turns. Only other way I can see to carry this safely is to affix a metal wire collect around the two layers, but am worried that may not be enough over time.


Edit: Tried a metal wire idea and it failed. What is happening is the rocker is so soft one's clothes can push that in. And the smaller rings, when laying flat, slide right on inside - on their way to slowly escaping.
  So I put a temporary collar around the 2-layers part, but once that rocker lifts up the end, it will fail too.

  About the only two things I can see that Exotac (http://www.exotac.com/) can do to remedy this is to put a small bump on the inside, then drill a hole there - or fashion a lock. With a hole one can use a cotter-like pin, or another small loop, or something to lock those two sides together.
  That sort of defeats the purpose of the easy use, but also safe guards the keys and anything else that is on the ring. But they would have to weigh how important this is to them.

  Other idea would be to maybe use a flexible O tube (an O-ring would roll & fail) or a mesh sock.

  Whatever method, the lock would have to at least secure the 2-layer, or the 2-layers plus the ending-threading layer. There has to be a block to keep anything from rotating in the rings.

  A split ring, as archaic as they are, are held together with pressure. With enough force they can spread and lose the contents. That is where the FreeKey System excels. But after yesterday's surprise, something needs to lock the rings together and not move to be secure.

Depending upon the type of activity, them spring open gates can be a blessing or curse.
If the gate spring fights back with force, get it. If the gate opens easily, just know as you are sitting or rubbing against something, that gate won't save your keys if used to clip the set to your person.

Have gone through a lot of snaps and other methods of key carry.
Ended up using a common Quick Repair Link (screw closure) that my belt slides through with a simple split keyring. Then my two key assortments use rather firm quick snaps. Not fashionable, but for me reliability over sex appeal any day.

Here is my simple and cheap setup. Trying to keep things to a minimum.

Style CS + Mini Coast G5

In my opinion this is a perfect "secondary" carry. Your only missing a toothpick or this would be perfect.  :D

This. Just today I changed the carabiner with a Leatherman carabiner. Why? Just because.
This is my car's keychain. My full keychain has a big carabiner with smaller carabiners or keyrings in teams. One with my car's keys, one for my apartment, one for my office, one for my country house (and bicycles), one for my parent's house, one for my wife's car and garage and one for the clinic I run. It is big, noisy and heavy, don't try to assault me while I carry it. Only my car's keyring is in my pocket all the time, so the Vic stays there.

Keys is what it is for. And less keys means less worries. Not to mention the weight and space requirements. When I wass a happy teenager I only had 2 keys and my only worry was how much sex hours I would accumulate. Those were the times!

Is the Victorinox clipper good? I use any Victorinox 91mm scissors for my nails, that's why I never got the clipper, althought it is cheap and very handsome. I also like that P-7 Clip and that fancy glow fob. And all the rest.

Not much has changed since I lasted posted in December.  This is the smallest set of toys I can carry that still provides a useful degree of utility.  I do have some redundancy (drivers on the Classic and PS4, for example), but "need" both tools.  The Classic SD gives me a tweezer and fine scissor that is lacking on the PS4 (I'm not a big fan of the PS4's scissor, though it does work), and the PS4 provides the plier and file lacking on the Classic SD.  The PS4 is there primarily for the plier.  The Atwood tool provides a flat driver and pry utility, and the separate 3D phillips adds functionality lacking on the PS4's smaller 2D phillips.  At 110 grams (3 7/8 oz.) it is fairly unobtrusive in the bottom of my pocket. 

I often trade this setup for an Explorer Plus, which adds a magnifier, larger scissor, pen and pin, at the cost of the plier:

I had the TU-47 set up correctly over the house key for a few weeks. Only to provide extra torque turning the new key in the old lock. After that loosened up it was off the key, cause it was a pain flipping the keytool off the key.

Also -100 to sears offing the 4way driver. its like a rite of passage buying a cheap driver set with that lil sucker in it.

Hmm, perhaps that is what it is, but every bottle opener is slightly different so it can open EVERY bottle you may EVER come into contact with. And do it well.

That would be quite cool in a nerdy sort of way, only the thing is, you wouldn't look very cool trying all 7/8 different openers trying to find the right one.

My tool keychain. Separate from my key keychain (on which I have car key, house key, flash drive), when not in use, I clip them both together, otherwise can be unclipped and used independently.

The Olight has stopped working, and will soon be replaced by a Fenix E05. I have been really impressed with the Style PS, and it works perfectly in conjunction with the keyring philips and Wenger patriot to provide me with most of the functions I will use everyday, but with no overlap.

The Wenger Patriot I have fallen in love with, such a beautiful little knife, so thin, so elegant. And all the better for knowing it has top class swiss steel.

Now I've changed my mind and put the Executive back on the keychain and have the Micra available for EDC carry.  Until I change my mind again that is ;)

In my search for smaller and better, one of the sites that turns up frequently in searches  (along with the EDCF store, Vigilant Gear, etc) is GoingGear.com. After finally checking out the site, I noticed that it's in Smyrna, GA, not far from me.

Sweet Jeebus, it's just the bestest EDC toy store I ever seen. It's great to actually see and touch all the toys I read about on the Interwebs, and to compare them.

My kit has changed a lot in the past two days. Once I get my Skinth and set up my Universal Screw Driver, I will post pics.

Finally put the Midnite MiniChamp on the key ring. Its been on there for a little more than a week now.  The light has been a rockstar and the pen has come in handy a few times already. Whats really impressing me is the durability its shown on the key ring. Ive dropped it a bunch already. Mostly on pavement. The scales havent popped off, split or cracked and the light still shines on command.

 The LM key ring tools I've carried have had a pretty fair beating and over a longer period of time. I never had a second thought about the abuse they took untill I looked at the lil SwissChamps progress as a key ring tool. I like the Mini SwissChamp on the keys. I hope it can hold up as well as the LM's I've carried. Whats on the ring is pretty simple with the SAK,Sears 4-way,CVS mini card,keys and brass clasp.

I have a similar USB flash drive like that. The red casing is very poor, it sometimes comes off when I pull it from the PC. Does that size fit inside a Victorinox Swiss Memory? I thought about getting an old model with (much) less memory and replace it with this 16Gb drive.

That is not a skeleton key. That is a key for a warded lock and a skeleton key is a device for opening (lockpicking) such locks. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeleton_key)

@ LogicBob

Titan is a Slovenian lock and padlock manufacturer.

And as lister said, such locks are very common around here. All the doors inside my house have them and some of the outside buildings (shed, garage, boiler room, basement) have such locks too.

^I just bought the Microlock version. The problem is it is too big for a single key sized  item. It is one step up in size compared to their smallest size which is what I prefer for an individual item like a AAA flashlight, laser, or Leatherman Micra sized tool.

I'll have to look for some tubing. Thanks for that tip, ducttapetech.

Be careful those S binders aren't very secure, get the ones with lock.

Beat me to it!

I lost a bunch of stuff,including £20 in cash because of a S-biner failure :rant:

And whose fault was that?...

Never really concentrated on my Key Chain carry until a month ago when I got a bonus at work and was deciding on what to spend it on and got some cool tools...

LM Squirt PS4 Black, Cold Steel Micro Recon 1 Black, TEC P-7, TEC Pico Pen, County Comm Micro Pry Bar, House and Wife's spare car key. Did get a TEC Centipede however that is store in my Skinth Magnum

I am in love with the designs of "Damascene Jewellery". I have its earrings,pendants,keychains and money clips. They just look beautiful !!!!!!!! It actually gives you the feeling of ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Persia and even those of China and Japan.

I'v separated my house keys and car keys. On my house keys there's the Nespresso keychain for buying new cups, an 8 GB usb-key and a Maglite Solitaire.

On my car key there's a smash-and-grab raider (Is that the right word for it?)

I never counted how many keys and stuff is there.
I use a central carabiner and I put my keys in teams, each one with it's own keyring. Color coded are the most used.
The car's keyring is my EDC and has the Leatherman carabiner, red LED light, Ladybug and Minichamp.
On my wife's car keyring I also keep the garage keys. There are also keyrings for my house, summer house, parent's house, office, clinic. 7 teams.

I carry it like this for about 12 years. Before that it evolved gradually. I always keep it at hand (when I walk from the car to one of the buildings), in the bag or in the car/house, but never in my pockets.

I have gone back and forth with my keychain.  I have my car key and house key separate, my car key has a Photon X with it and my house key has a nano and a pill fob.  I took off all other items because they just didn't work for me.  I use a key-bak retractable with a kevlar cord I forget if its a 36 or 48.  I carry several other keys  and like being able to keep them attached to me when unlocking and locking doors.  I dont like the bulk and wish it were slimmer but I like the security and features. I may try their Original 48 soon.

I was a little like that. Recently I managed to take out 5 keys from the EDC. Those 5 only get used from time to time and usually when I'm driving, so now I keep them at home next to the car keys.
Today I got even lighter, carrying a K1 Led Lenser (small* pun intended) and a Leatherman PS. I'll be leaving my Vic SignatureLite, SwissTech 19-in-1 and Rolson flashlight at home.

Before the Micra, there was either a classic or a rambler,

Tec suspension clip, Ptx Brewzer, Micra, Telepen, Split Pea lighter, Photon Freedom.
The Micra sometimes comes off and get's carried in another pocket to make the whole package slimmer.
In my wallet there is a P38 and a Sears/Crafstman 4way, and some safety pins to add some extra capabilities.

Simple key ring, with other pocket goods for context. Flashlight on phone is handy and I never have to worry about batteries (unless the phone is flat obvs). also allows for the key ring to be clear of a flashlight, keeping it minimal
little 'biner is for attaching car keys when I need them
Gerber Shard takes care of phillips/pry/bottle opening duties - love that thing
Victorinox Pioneer for everything else.
Pen (mightier than the sword  :))
Otherwise keys for house, gate and motorcycle!

Well I've just threw on wire keyring randomly everything I had considering keychain....

And now when it's on I'm planning to slowly sort them all on few setups...

Generally to create DIY tool setup, survival setup, FAK setup... More or less keychains combined with altoids and soda baby bottle...

Still missing few thing, i.e.:

- Widgy pry tool - mini (bigger than one I have) + straight pry bar
- Keychain lighter (fob lighter - CC)
- Keychain saw (CC)
- Foldable scissors
- Magnesium pencil sharpener
- Some more LED
- Swiss+Tech
- Sharpies
- Altoid tins
- ......
- ......

And that's just from top of my head...  :D :D :D :D

Here's my car keys with a NEW metal version of my DIY, key chain size razor blade knife:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7442/14069030805_b7509820c0_z.jpg)
This version is locked from accidental deployment while attached with the McGizmo-style quick release clip. It can slice through seatbelts, in an emergency, and is easy to keep perpetually razor-sharp.

I encourage others to give it a go and give more details in this vid:

This is just the basic version but I'm working on deluxe configurations too, like: jacket zipper pull, glow fob, reflector, etc.

That's pretty neat but I'd be worried about the protective slide coming off in my pocket and getting cut!!  :ahhh

^Then you might prefer the zipper pull version, but used for your keys, where the outer sleeve has a small tab extension, with the same hole in it as the inner sled*, so when locked by the McGizmo (or similar quick release) the inner sled is locked from both forward AND backward travel.

Also, the one I show in the video is "loose" (for demonstration purposes), but much like the unmodified box cutter knife it is fashioned from, if you squish the outer sleeve a bit to make it stiff, it is then nearly impossible to deploy by simply finger pressure alone; you HAVE to tap it down hard against a table or other suitable hard surface, both for deployment and retraction. There's no amount of in-pocket keys jumbling which could pull the outer sleeve away and off on a tight one, just like the sleeves don't fly off on the originals which have no locks of any kind, forwards or backwards.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are many people who carry these unmodified tap knives in their pockets all the time, with no deployment locks at all and relying solely on "squish friction tightness", but I definitely see your concern which is partly why I made the dual direction lock version as well.

*The locking holes are also relocated to the center, instead of the edge, so it hangs straight down on one's jacket zipper.

Yes on both accounts. However, the protective slide coming off could easily be remedied, if there was an additional loop, so the keyring (or carabiner) can hold it in place (and a small slit, so it can still fully slide back).

or what mzil said... 8)

I've updated mine after making a custom blood type/toothpick holder, well imitation of the one popular one that's been going around, but the only black one they have is with white lettering, and it doesn't match my black and red EDC carry pack, and well it isn't a toothpick holder, at least that I know of.

Here's the keys,

Here's the keychain, and the inside where you can see it carries the toothpicks, it also fits on molle like the other with the Velcro. The one above the Wegner was my first attempt.

Here's my car keys with a NEW metal version of my DIY, key chain size razor blade knife:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7442/14069030805_b7509820c0_z.jpg)
This version is locked from accidental deployment while attached with the McGizmo-style quick release clip. It can slice through seatbelts, in an emergency, and is easy to keep perpetually razor-sharp.

This is just the basic version but I'm working on deluxe configurations too, like: jacket zipper pull, glow fob, reflector, etc.
Here's the deluxe version's prototype, Mack 3, which is locked not just from accidental deployment, but also from the outer sleeve coming off the front:

If the embedded version above doesn't work for some reason, the Youtube video to search for is titled:

Here is my current keychain setup.

Victorinox Minichamp with 2011 Classic LE scales, Tank007 E09 flashlight, SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 drive, and of course my house key.
I think I'm going to replace Minichamp with Manager since many tools aren't getting any use and pen often comes in handy. Flashlight is awesome, especially considering it's one of the cheapest on the market. USB drive is as fast as much bigger ones and since it's carrying live linux distros and troubleshooting tools, saves the day as often as Vic. I recently got some paracord, so I'm going to make some fancy knot and replace split ring.

I EDC a Style PS, too. Didn't knew I could use it as a bit driver.
Well, it's certainly not sanctioned by Leatherman, won't work in a situation with a really tight screw which needs lots of torque [there's only friction keeping the micro bit from flopping over within the two carabineer side walls, after all], and for reasons I don't understand it seems to fit better on some Leathermans than others. [The Style PS and CS clips look the same, (don't they?), yet the fit seems different. Its hard to explain; perhaps as they wear or bend things change? Not sure.].

In theory, if you are too forceful, due to a tight fit ramming the micro bit in, you could snap the Leatherman's two side, supporting walls apart. Ouch. See the micro bits are a tad wider than the two walls. I take no responsibility for any such possible failures. Any attempt to ram in the microbit too deeply could theoretically bend, distort, or outright snap the Leatherman in two. Oh Noes.
Here I show microbits w/ the earlier Style CS, in an old video, doing some minor surgery on his big brother:
Leatherman Style CS "mod": interchangeable micro bits screwdriver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDsYphq5klg#ws)
My Style PS however is not as friendly to mounting the bit this way, out the top that is, YMMV.
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?
Post by: TheDude on February 05, 2015, 12:36:44 PM
I used my CS with the LM bits and bit driver for a while until the spring popped off and scared the smurf out of me. I managed to get the spring back on using the PS from memory. The best thing about it is the weight saving. Great job with the micro bits.  :salute:
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?
Post by: mzil on February 05, 2015, 06:40:38 PM
^Thanks for mentioning how the spring might also be in jeopardy by using these things against the manufacturer's plans. Good point.

I consider these alternative ways to use the bits (I posted videos about) to be "in a pinch" emergency sorts of applications, not day to day use. The LM bits one has some wobble to it and certainly should not be used for any strenuous applications [pinching the side walls as you use it helps though] but as one poster wrote after seeing my alternative bit uses: "Leatherman, please design these to actually work this way!". I agree:

Thanks, all three are miniature ball-bearings, not easy to find but if you look around on the Web you should be able to source them from few places. Just make sure the inner hole diameter is 5-6mm, any smaller and the fit will be super tight (paracord is 4mm in diameter, compressible to about 2.5-3mm...and you'll need two cords thru the ball bearing hole) any larger and the bearings/beads will flop and float up and down.

BTW, the copper ferrule on that lanyard is a 3mm steel wire end-stop. Internal dimensions are 3mmx6mm.

Hope this helps.

It's official: Leatherman Style PS is off the rotation. Scissors fail with almost no use at all, just by being closed.

 :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Vic Signature Lite, coupled with Led Lenser K1 from now on.

Well, at least Leatherman should fix that for free under their "hassle free" 25 year warranty.
 
I've always liked the larger scissors on mini-Leathermans such as the original Micra, but for the smaller, fold-out designs I've always thought the Vic versions were better.

Babola, I meant to mention before, I really like the color coordination of the copper ferrule and that specific paracord you chose. Looks classy.

I thought of that but just the cost of shipping the Style to the USA will be almost the same as buying a new one...

 :think: :think:

It is fixed with torx screws between two black plastic parts, the construction is solid and the weight is low. I have not tested the belt cutter with a real belt, I use it as package opener and zip ties cutter and works just great.  The sharpener I only use it for kitchen knifes and does the job. I have two complains, the bottle opener  is not the best around and the belt cutter has a cheap plastic sleeve on it which can be easily lost. Not perfect but works for people like me who cant carry a knife or multitool all the time.

The basic idea of what's on my keyring doesn't change much, but the specific components change quite often. :)

(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/gareth_SAKs/EDC%20dump/P3190086_zpsckmpyqqn.jpg)

Trying out some small S-biners that I picked up a few weeks ago.  So far no problems, even if I don't lock them closed.  Torch is my favourite Eagletac D25A Clicky.  Squirt P4 is on there to support my Fat SAK and provide some pliers.  Other than keys I've also got a neat 8GB USB on there as well.  Not something I use very often, but if you need one there's not a lot you can do to improvise around it.

I love the concept to use the clip of the torch as the main clip, your keyring is very well balanced and make me to want a LM squirt  :drool: . I also want to try those S biners for some keys I use for my work.  :tu:

Some of you may have already seen this in another forum, but for the benefit of those who haven't I'm also posting it here. This is my version of a classic mod: removing the scissors and condensing the other tools of the Leatherman Micra to one side, in order to save space and weight. Mine has been cut down in length, too, making it especially small without losing any functionality, specifically to fit my micro survival tins.  My Telepen wearing a UV sensitive jacket is also shown.

That looks nice, is it all mechanical? I can't tell, is the gate conected to both the bottom and side to create the tension?

Yup, all mechanical - the gate is split at the attachment points at the base in short and long ends to provide tension when opening. Also when the gate is open, the bottom section of the carabiner opens too so you can effortlessly insert split ring etc.

This has been a pretty reliable setup. The Ti bottle opener isn't the best but it earns it's keep with the nice pocket clip. The Minichamp shares time with a Rambler. The flashlight adds a little more bulk than I like but I couldn't do without it

Yeah, I did it once to a aluminum one waaaaaay back when because everyone's got one but the freaking keys and everything else is on diff split rings, so as you drove all the others fell making the keychain twice as long and it would keep hitting you in the leg.. Drove me nuts :think: maybe that's why I am the way today? lol, but yeah I drill, no used the awl on my farmer to put the holes in, my only worry was that there is not a lot of plastic between the hole and edge, so I didn't know whether or not it would be strong, but I haven't had any problems yet(knock knock)! What I want to do is get both a red an black one and switch the gates out and go color combo, but am not to sure how the spring works on them..

The Micra was revolutionary when it was released (mid 1990's I believe). It suddenly showed consumers that just because a tool was compact and relegated to your key chain didn't mean it had to be "toy" quality. I will always have a fondness for the Micra because of the important trend it launched.

I'm having a brain fart on making something new(material pending).. I'm sure you all have seen one of those keychain's that police wear, that wrap around the keys so they don't make any noise? Well I got a idea lastnight but I gotta see what I got and sketch something up before I start..

Well, I looked to see what I had and just started without even a sketch. It's done but I want to try something else, I just had to take a break for dinner and to sit back because being hunched over the desk is really taking a toll on the back. Anyway here's a few pics, I put two clips in, Velcro the two flaps, on the back I put a loop on top so I can be carried with a carabiner, but also a snap to go around a belt. Oh and on the inside I kinda made a hidden pocket, you can see where I slid the sak in, what for I have no clue, but it's there! What do you think?

Minichamp arrived today
How do you like the Minichamp compared to the Rambler? Is the added bulk and weight noticeable? What do you intend to use the extra tools for (Orange peeler, emergency blade, cuticle pusher and ruler)?

I ask as someone who is waiting on a Rambler that is in the mail and should arrive tomorrow, which will be upgrading my Classic. To me, Rambler seems like the perfect combination of tools, with out any added bulk.

Not saying your decision to upgrade to a Minichamp is wrong, that looks like an awesome tool! I am just curious what use you have for the somewhat odd extra tools you get.

Thanks,, I think I'm finally done! I put my finishing touch on it, just sew in my one dog tag, and then added my light, cards, and sak. The only other thing that would have been nice would have been to loop in some red string, but I'm beat! My backs like pulsating, maybe some other day..
The only thing I'm worried about is getting used to using it! Having to open it then unhook the keys, use them, snap then back in, and then close it back up! I might have to make something smaller..

To be honest you can't beat a rambler, I just  wanted a change but  it is nice having a spare blade  and that cut&picker  tool is useful too.  You won't be disserpointed with your rambler .

Get one buddy there a good keychain Sak loads of fiddle factor and they do look cool In alox, I had a standard celidor scaled one a few years ago but gave it to a friend, and quite missed it that's why I've finally got another. But to be honest the rambler did everything I needed it for. But that's the thing about Saks ,you always want more!

Yeah, I don't feel that the Minichamp adds much more to the Rambler in terms of pure function.  But they're easier to find in alox than a Rambler, at least in the UK and look so damn good.

Because you want one is a pretty good reason. :pok:

I was just looking for one of those today! Only found a 4" one... For €16 it was a bit expensive just to have as a curiosity. If I find a smaller/cheaper one I'll get it, even though I'll never really use/need it.

Cool, I'd keep the 4" one if I were you anyway - good to have it handy as part of your EDC kit.
Decent 2.5" have been hard to find simply because 95% of those are just novelty pieces more for show and decoration than actual use. I had a cheaper one and it broke on first try.

Boring stuff first:

- some keys
- some privacy-invading "rewards cards" from vendors

The good stuff:

- Sharpening steel from a Vic Zermatt belt pouch
- Czech pipe tool (I smoke a pipe)
- Laser pointer (Comes in handy with the household cats, and you'd be surprised how many people have wanted to borrow it at meetings)

Conspicuous in their absence are multitools. I belt-carry those.

Sure wasn't!

I have no clue what it could be.

The only thing I can think is because the key is wider than the original tool, the torsion bars are crooked. Forcing a crooked alignment on the scissors.

Also* one of the scissor heads does rub on a key. I plan to grind the key down but I hope it doesn't effect the actual key In a lock.

Just a theory, but maybe when you reinsert and tighten down the sex bolts [that's their real name!] you have to be sure to do it while the Micra rests on a flat surface, otherwise it arbitrarily takes on the position you happen to have it while holding it in your hands?

No pics as of this moment, but I've taken a liking to carrying my Alox minichamp on my work keys.  I used the orange peeler as a clamshell opener today.  My coworker liked it so much that he is heading out to buy his own minichamp next week.

Just slimmed down my keyring... there was so much stuff...

Now I just have the three mainkeys I use everyday from work and home... and a Vic Rally.

Everything other than that went straight into the drawer for not needing it so frequently.

No pic, though.  :oops:

After a fair bit of experimenting, this is what I've arrived at.

Stainless steel bottle opener, originally given out as a freebie at some kind of trade show.
Keys: Bike / Apartment / Parents house (Car key is missing, car needs to be fixed)
Micro aluminium hooks, bought on eBay, cheap and very useful!
SOG SH03 with a diamond coated side, ceramic rod and firesteel
Kingston DTSE9 16gb flash drive
Nitecore Tube, olive green
Gerber Dime, green

I find that this covers a lot of bases and can be useful in an emergency.
This is as bulky as I want my keychain to be, if I add more to it, it'll be too much.

I envy you guys who have minimal keys.  I am forced to carry an alarm remote for my '09 Chevy Suburban, which is way too big than it needs to be.  My car alarm actuates if I unlock the vehicle with a key rather than the remote.  Stupid Chevy.

They also recently came out with the Ti version of that tool on Kickstarter. Quite a neat, light, compact and great looking key chain tool.

It's good to use black for a flashlight's head because black is both a more efficient heat absorber and radiator than other colors, so it helps wick away heat from the LED so it runs cooler and prolongs its life, especially when using dangerously strong voltages such as 10440 (3.7V)  Li-ion batteries for "turbo output" [usually not recommended]. Gold/orange for the body improves visibility in low light so it is easier to find the flashlight in the dark, especially if you drop it in the brush or tall grass. . . .

. . .at least that would be my story and I'm sticking with it!  :whistle:

Currently on my keychain: Vic Classic SD and the Quattro screwdriver. Great tiny combo.

I can highly recommend that Quattro screwdriver to anyone!

(http://www.sakwiki.com/show_image.php?id=1213)

It's great, surprisingly useable. For those who may not know, it's a part for the Victorinox Swisscard Quattro cards, the official namecode is A.7235, you can buy it separately as a replacement part. I got mine at my local Vic dealer. They are usually priced between $2 and $4.
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?

^ To add to that I'd like to point out two things:

A) although this is a rather poor multiway screwdriver compared to ones which are thousands of times heavier and bulkier, [think the conventional reversible 4-in-1 you keep in your kitchen drawer--seven inches long and that you would never carry on a key chain] it gets the job done 90% of the time and is so light you can carry it as EDC without a second thought.
 
B) "Quattro" is actually the name of the (no so great) plastic Vic Swisscard multi-tool gizmo this screwdriver slides into. The screwdriver itself actually is made such that each of the Phillips head bits fit two, not one size of screw so in truth this is a 6 way screwdriver, not 4-way. Although perhaps not "optimally", some spec pages claim that the Philips tips cover: #00, #0, #1, and #2 screws, plus you have the 3mm and 5mm tips: 6 total!

As a replacement part it at least at one time was called: Victorinox 30532
Some ebay sellers list it this way

I put it on a simple typical flexible metal keychain ring. I can simply take off the screwdriver in 2-3 seconds, so I have no problem with that.  :tu:

Exactly!  :tu: "Quattro" is the name of the whole card multitool, the screwdriver itself doesn't have its own name (except the A.7235 code), but a lot of folks are simply calling it the "Quattro screwdriver", so I went with that name.

It does the trick very well (if the screws are not recessed or heavily tightened). Great addition to every EDC.

(http://i1314.photobucket.com/albums/t562/ThePeacent/20150822_114350_zpspym7dbcy.jpg)

I fiound them useful in more than one occasion but never see them on keychain setups...why am I alone in this?  ???

Un poco raro, la verdad...  :think:

A bit strange, to tell you the truth...   :think:

I have two keychains, with two different setups.
What I use the lock for is closing my bag when I leave it together with my classmate's and we go out for field testing and measuring (Topography, map making, GPS location, angle and orientation sessions). The bags are all together but the class is left open so all the other students and people can get into the room.

And there's many people in my school, some of them quite unfriendly looking.

Keep the button pressed, 10LM, super small and light.

Then they can´t open your bag but they can go away with it (or cut the fabric to get inside)...?

Yup but that takes more guts to do than just cautiously open, take and leave. If someone took it and ran away with it the teachers/other students might see him or recognize the bag.

Cheers! I decided that I only need my front door for everyday use, other house keys (back door, garage) could stay in the house. My car key is a single key and kept separate. Work keys stay at work.  It feels good traveling light and I can add things as I see fit

I used to have a Leatherman carabiner, so I could hook my key bundle on a belt loop. The reason was, I had the wallet in the left pocket and phone in the right, so no room left for the keys (not fan of back pockets for anything except receipts). A few months back, I replaced the carabiner with a Squirt PS4, as I wanted a knife and scissors. The PS4 is a very useful compact rascal, though it clearly adds a lot more to the weight. I miss the carabiner, but my key bundle is fairly crowded already. I hope Leatherman can come up with a keychain tool built around the carabiner, with a knife, a file, scissors, and maybe a pair of tweezers. Add an LED light while they are at it. Use titanium, glass-filled nylon, or Al for handles/ covers to reduce weight. It will be a hit.  :tu:

Fantastic setups on keychains i must say.

For myself, i hate having large keychains so i did a fall clean on mine yesterday.

I usually have my Leatherman Wave with me and on that i have modded my house key so if i am carrying that the only other key needed is garage and car. So on the Car keychain i know roll this.

Mini prybar (EDC Gear)
Leatherman Squirt PS4
Garage Key
Car Key


But if i descide to go without the wave and take for example the Juice S2 (which i am starting to fancy alot) then i got my home key with a small waterproof container and a very small LED torch.

I still prefer the Wave setup anyhow.

I like it that the quick deploy zip-ties got metal nuts in them... just to add more weight.

I'll get around to taking pictures one day. For now, my keychain has four keys (house, car, mailbox, knife box), my gym fob, repro dog tag, a translucent yellow Classic, and a NiteIze Doohickey, I think. The bottle opener with the carabiner gate and big honkin' slotted driver.

I know what you're thinking why on earth would he carry on his keys 3 bottle openers right? That's just down right redundant! Rofl But he's got something there with that Kershaw Tinder!!! I mean come on not only do you get a bad ass key fob, you also get a Hand Ax, a hammer, a heavy duty pry bar with stake and nail puller and the cherry on top not one but four different size hex wrenches!!! Sure my pants hang down damn near to my knees but who cares, I live in the city I fit right in with all the saggy panters! ROFL (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170123/73fc8df496719403bd4c747700e62d60.jpg)
So seriously minus my EDC Kershaw Tinder(yes I do edc the Tinder, it has a designated place in my sling pack) the rest there are what I carry on my keychain!
1. Kershaw cinder Hinderer design keychain folder.
2. Nitecore TIP 360lm,150lm,35lm,1lm + lock out mode to prevent pocket activation! Best KC light I've ever owned!
3. LM Style CS
4. CRKT Stokes key chain knife sharpener w/ flat head and a small channel blade/cutter
5. All connected to CRKT Stokes carabiner, paracord, bottle opener accessory
Oh yeah and keys

New version of the small leather holder for my EDC. Vic Rambler + Nitecore Tube + Leatherman PS

Easy to put on/take off, no need to unbuckle my belt.

Since I usually use a black leather belt, decided to make another version of it. Also, instead of having the large clip, this one just has a metal ring. More versatile, IMHO.

It does a good job of keeping them in my pocket while I am working out and gives me a few tools on hand if needed!

Lately, I've paired it down quite a bit.  A few Nite Ize clips, and an opener.  Fenix torch is a constant companion.

I cannot get my key chains on a diet.  How the heck do you all get your keychains so darn tidy?

I have to carry several keys so I have one for that and one for my home and vehicle.  I keep my manager and LM#5 on my other keychain with a Bic mini and several stupid keys. 

My vehicle keys has the fob, key, button light, camper top and yakima rack keys, and house key. 

I strongly dislike my key set up but I need those keys.

I guess I just don't have much to carry.  I took the alarm thingy off my keychain, cuz who needs it.  Alarms are useless but I still get the insurance break for having one.  Car, home, SAK, that's awl I need. The carabiner is a pretty recent addition and keeps them out of my pocket.

I remember those days well  :facepalm:

At one point I had to carry all these at any time, in case the phone rang and I had to respond to something:
House keys (2). brother's house keys (2), parents house keys (2), car keys (2), boat keys (4), boatyard keys (6), shed keys (4) and work keys (6). I'm sure there were others on there too. Then there were assorted tools and a res-q-me, and floatation devices, and various other tedious peripherals :dwts:

There are a few things to consider, the first is to make sure the keys are aligned along the same axis. Often people add more and more rings to their keys and they end up tangling and taking up a lot of extra space. I have never carried many keys but this still makes a difference. Another in to group them well, basically longer/larger keys in the middle and smaller to the sides as far as possible (less air between them). A good grouping can also help keep track of keys, one of my keyrings has two almost identical keys for different things but since I put them on opposite side of each other next to a more distinctive key for the same general area/purpose I can still keep them apart easily.

As it stands I have three different rings for different places but I have yet to find a nice way of attaching either of the two smaller, more specific, rings to my main keys temporarily. All solutions I see seem to mess up my first rule regarding axes.

the MACV is smaller than I thought but it sure feels sturdy. I also was afraid that it might catch on things and poke you or tear the pocket with those protruding elements but so far it hasn't.
I love skulls so aesthetics are spot on for me. The black color doesn't seem to fade away or scratch easily so far. And it isn't as awkward to use and handle as it looks like it should be.

Oh and that's a Victorinox Minichamp (Alox) but the other tool is a Chinese made mini SAK clone. Not a copy of any particular one as it has a unique toolset but similar to the nail clipper model of Wenger and VIc.
Cost me $5 and I am very happy with it so far

Here is my updated keychain. It includes a titanium sail ring that I've been using since 2006. I've also added a small titanium bottle opener. I really like the bottle opener because it's the first one I've seen that is really thin, about the same thickness as a regular house key. The last item is a Wichard 2" stainless steel snap hook. Amazon finally has these again and I can't recommend them enough. They are really great quality and the perfect size for your keychain. a little pricey at $18.

Finally got fed up of having to remove shoes to fetch SAK out of living room in order to open parcels.
I had a Micra for ages until the scissors became useless, plus I found it uncomfortable in jeans pockets.

So, having realised I no longer care much for my Vic stuff, I decided to attach what I presume is a Alox MiniChamp??

Looking to add a cash canister too, anybody recommend one? Something durable, sealed and will hold a £10 or £20 note??

I've had this little Henley tool on mine for 3 or 4 years.  Pretty useless, but in a pinch...well you use what you have.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190728/adbacf3cbac61c5c94cbaecd3f1b6109.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190728/833462a60d49ccaf16450cddc0524119.jpg)

Here too: a very important part of my life. Keys-wise, just the house front door key (all vehicle keys separate). Tools currently as follows:-

Tritium tube
LM Brewzer
LM BtN #10
Vic MiniChamp or Rambler
Spring clip to attach to 40mm steel D ring on belt

Use the tools every single day.
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?

Will post a pic of the tools another time but keychain wise:

-Keys: car key, a couple of house keys, locker key, and locked drawer key

- 'Brew Pry' a combination bottle opener and pry bar made of acid washed O1 tool steel

-Olight i1R EOS

-A Titanium carabiner with a couple of Ti split rings holding it all together

I used to have a Spyderco Honeybee (perfect keychain knife imo) but it went walkabout a while ago and I haven't picked up a replacement yet (stupid inflated UK pricing).

Ok. So here's mine. Nothing controversial, I think  :dunno:

1) The Swiss+Tech thing I've had for years (although I gave the original one to a friend)

2) The Trolly Dolly is something I've also had for years although the "Trolly" part doesn't work anymore due to the type of shopping trolley (spelled correctly with the letter "E") we now tend to have in the UK  :think:

3) The handcuff key is there just in case I misplace my official work one or you know...just in case  :whistle:

FYI: All have travelled through many airports with me with no issues. They also come to work with me every day (at a major UK airport) where staff are subject to the same rules as passengers.

I had to go back and put my Swis+Ttech in my car at the Canberra airport security check.  I was impressed that they noticed it, as it was with at least another 8 large keys.  I'd never used it so I'd totally forgotten about it.  I guess they must have really been on the ball that day.

Built myself a little keychain junk drawer multitool with a Keyport Pivot, a few of their modules and a few of my own pieces:


1. Keyport Pivot
2. Keyport PocketFlare (2 modes: a decent little 27 lumen front beam and 24 lumen "lamp mode", usb rechargeable)
3. Keyport NEBA knife (suprisingly sharp (8Cr13MoV), nice little letter/box opener)
[/size]4. Keyport WeeLink mini USB-C cable for charging my phone in a pinch)[/color]
[/size]5. Keyport Pen insert[/color]
[/size]6. 64GB Key Drive[/color]
[/size]7. Slim nail clippers that I harvested out of a little $3 keychain grooming tool[/color]
[/size]8. Sim card tool...figure it couldn't hurt to have a little pin-shaped tool for electronics, cleaning fingernails, etc[/color]
[/size]9. My work access keyfob[/color]

[/size]It's a little bulky, but fits a lot of the useful little odds and ends that would otherwise be jangling around on my keychain or on the bottom of my messenger bag. Fun to customize and always looking for new things to squeeze in there.[/color] :tu:


Oh yeah, and a Gerber Dime, cuz  :dunno:  (tweezers and that awesome package opener, I guess)

That looks like a clone of the Key Smart tool, what do you think the odds are it's actually brass? If yours turns out to be decent then I'll definitely be adding a couple to the cart!

Keychain, and more. I'm one of those guys who has a carabiner on a belt loop, because the noise makes it harder to forget my keys. The Brewzer obviously, and the Screwpop also hangs out there.

I guess the one on the left is some kind of Atwood-"inspired" design, but i haven't found the original. The Boker Toucan is for days when I don't feel like putting on real pants.

Been setting up my hiking/out in the bush keychain since getting a new TEC Accessories UFO-MS and some new clips and split rings.

TBH it’s a bit heavy but not too bad, will probably go back to putting some on a neck lanyard but like how it looks!

I don't mind a heavier set up for outdoors as I like to feel the weight to remind be its there.  I like what you've done and what you have on yours  :tu:

Thanks Aloha, I changed my mind multiple times, left things off, put them back on and spent half the afternoon having a great time doing it. Definitely cathartic and good to see it coming together.

The UFO is a lot neater than the exotac ring I had before, but that’s easier to use so it’s always a play off.
Agree it’s good to have a bit of extra weight outdoors but a bit of a pain in the butt when sitting down :faceplant:

They’re always a bit of a work in progress aren’t they, the keychain tools can often be replaced with a small SAK but want a compass and whistle when in the bush as well as some redundancy like with the Bomber B2 knife and peanut lighter. Not sure I really need the true utility pen and the MecArmy flashlight is a bit heavy but also pretty durable, trust it more than the plastic nitecores I use on everything else.

Ah the fun of EDC :) :cheers:

Nice set up.  I also used carabiner for a while but switched to belt clips.  I am running one now that I am liking but time will tell as I always tend to find fault in the long haul.  I have been attaching cords/chains or some kind of dummy cord to my things as well.  I went to a home improvement store and nearly left my wallet on the counter, then again at the grocery store.  I was so absent mined I knew it was time to attach it to me  :facepalm:. 

I post up a picture later on what I am using.

Olight i1R (original). Small but bright.
Buck 283 Nano Bantam. Cheap to replace, and American made. Good quality too.
Nite Ize Doohickey. Soon to be replaced by the modern version of the Proto J-100. I only use it as a prybar anyway. I prefer though, how the Doohickey has an integral carabiner.

Keyring--old advertising item for a Western boot manufacturer; which I was given long ago by a family friend who managed a local farm supply store. Makes my keys pretty easy to spot. This one, unlike the yellow one from the community college I attended, is flexible, and less likely to break.

Carabiner--bought years ago. It is a cheaper carabiner, but quite strong. It has been used as makeshift rigging when dragging some trees off a fence with a UTV, and the worst thing that happened was some of the camo finish wore off. I am thinking about  trying a locking climbing carabiner--but if it aint' broke, don't fix it!

I drive a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, so no huge keyfob. Just a basic old-school ignition/lock key that I can replace cheaply. One key got lost (the spare), and it was like $4 to get a new one made at a hardware store, NOT the dealer!. The one to the 2015 Escape is $350!

Alox Classic (my bad :-[ :doh: )

Mrs Surge has carried her classic through as a passenger with no issues (twice)

The irony is that I can carry my Surge and Lock Knife as "Gov' issued kit" but my key holder is personal and subject to the same rules as anyone else (fair enough)

LHR (and all UK airports) are very strict on what you can and can't bring in (staff are subject to the same rules as passengers)
If you need something for your job you'll need a tool pass or Ministerial exemption*

I'm not prepared to risk my SAKs when I don't need them for my job (might also lead to disciplinary proceedings  :ahhh )

I try to stay minimalist, Manager is the only gadget and it really takes care of almost anything. I think some kind of flashlight is a must but want zero redudancy in my pockets, I also have a wallet and a phone, that light should be enough (anyway, I have a torch in my backpack).

- Victorinox Clip
- Bicycle lock key (with Victorinox Decoupler)
- Manager (with Victorinox Decoupler)
- 3 house keys
- Contactless condo key

I attach the clip through the belt loop instead of belt because I find it much more comfortable that way. Anyway if I am in a formal situation and do have a belt, I use it as it should be because it looks a million times better. In both cases everything goes into my pocket, nothing hanging.

Those decouplers are a-ma-zing. I can't love them more, they are fast, easy, small, cute, reliable and allow me to take out the thing right from my pocket.

In my backpack I have two split rings with car key, garage key and the small carabineer that came with the Vic clip. If I go out in the car but without a backpack (it's extremely rare) I do attach this secondary to the main keychain.

Ive been carrying an advertising swag flashlight that someone gave to me.  You know.... I couldn't be happier  :dunno: 

I haven't had a flashlight on my keys in several years.  The button on my last one became wonky and I could never decide on a replacement.  In the meantime, I adjusted my habits to live without one.  Admittedly I used my phone's light once in a blue moon (and even then, at times that I wouldn't have my keys on me anyway)

Sometimes... it's the simple things.  This little flashlight is more narrow than the ones Ive carried on my keys in the past.  Besides the brightness, the form factor and near weightlessness makes me very satisfied with what I've got now.

When that gives up the ghost on you, it sounds like you'd enjoy a Photon Microlight, it's basically a high quality squeeze light like you carry now, but with an added little switch for constant on if needed.  :tu:

Due to work barring certain items from being carried, I only have a Fenix E01 flashlight and a Sears 4-way screwdriver on my keys, which hangs from a small Wapag carabiner.

I've tried other tools, such as the True Utility Sharkey and the Leatherman Brewer, but they didn't work out too well.  I'm debating about trying the 5.11 EDT, SwissTech Slimtool, or maybe splurge on an Atwood again, if he is still around.

Reminded of detachable magnetic  function by another knight, but being too cheap to start dropping $35 per magnet detachable, I opted for two cheap mechanical detachments—one for each car key I have to surrender to mechanics and valets. Very pleased with that. Will get a third for fob and fourth for flashlight.

Deleted two 58s because of my new 5th pocket addiction to  Executive, plus my twin SAK EDC of Cybertool L and S557.

Retained my purple anodized emergency whistle.

Added a blue tick tool for spring with new dog.

Kept the house keys, but...wish other half would agree to trawler only life and near complete invisibility to TPTB. No go. ☹️

It's a halfway decent pry tool, but that's about it. I'm replacing mine with a Proto J-100. No need having a fatter, heavier tool that has functions I don't use; and when I tested them, they failed miserably. And like $2 difference between the two; when the latter is USA made and more comfortable to use; that makes up for the price difference in my mind.

It's kinda weird how the crappiest tool is basically the only OPT you'll find in most American stores; and it probably outsells some of the better tools by 100-1.  I mean, when someone doesn't have a Classic SD on their keys, they're likely to have a Doohickey.

Yes, I really carry all this junk.   :rofl:  Starting at the top and going clockwise:
-Expensive Ti carabiner/tool.
-Toyota fob
-Keysmart.  I can turn in some keys at the end of the month, and I've put keypad locks on the house, so this will be going. 
-Toyota key
-Olight
-Glow tube I got as a gift

When I was taking pics of my flashlights yesterday, I noticed that the ring with the carabiner and light is sprung a bit and that thin ring holding the light could work it's way out.  I added a piece of orange duct tape over the split part of the ring, and it's also a high viz marker.

I'm seeing a lot of set ups with car keys.  A heavy keyring hanging from an ignition lock cylinder while driving will damage both the key and the lock over time.  All the bouncing up and down and swinging back and forth slowly grinds down all the teeth.  The lock will get harder and harder to use, till one day the lock won't turn.  If you want to avoid a very expensive repair job it would be best to have a separate ring with just the vehicle key and it's fob that can taken on and off the main set for driving.  A heavy key ring is best left on your hip while you drive.

It's just a bit of advice. It's your car, your keys, your choice.

Yeah, you guys got it.  Just remember to exercise key discipline so you don't lock yourself out.

Not a problem for me personally, I have an old Nissan key, so the buttons are built in but it's barely bigger than a non electronic key. If it's in the car then the car ain't getting locked  :salute:

Now I awlways keep house and car bike keys seperate.

That way if I lose the bike keys I can uber it home (and get in) or, if I lose the house keys I can get home and wake up Mrs Surge (this is likely to be impossible or painful  :twak: )

Either way, it's only one set of keys to replace  :dunno: (YMMV)

For everyone that's put down a DoohicKey tool, a short story.

This past weekend, my daughter asked if I wanted to go to an air show at a nearby Air Force Base.  Of course, yeah.  When we got there I was told; no knives and the like.  So my multitool, SAK, anything with a blade had to stay in the truck.
Well, wouldn't you know that a screw came loose on the wheel of my wheelchair. 
After a little bit of thinking I remembered that I keep a DoohicKey Plus on my keyring.
Couple minutes later I was rolling along purdy as ever.

I guess I never updated on this subject, but my kid bought me this for my bday last month, I was previously only carrying a Nitecore Tube and that only had 45lumens but was still a good light, but come on, this guys cool! The funny thing was after I showed the kid how it worked he was like totally amazed and was like “so dad, I was wondering if I could have your old one”? So I was like sure I only need one keychain, so I charged both of them up ready to go and when he woke up the next day I handed it off and said here you go, so he was excited then asks, “so dad, what type of batteries does this take”? I was like dude you just plug it in and recharge it, his face lit up SERIOUSLY? That kid snatched it from my hands with the biggest smile, the funny part was he said he just might have to get one of the other ones too,,

My Granddad's Koehler cap lamp's battery alone weighs probably 5 pounds, and he had to lug that thing on his toolbelt in the mines about 8 hours a day. Charger is the size of a toaster, and it takes at least a day to fully recharge.  Almost all my LED EDC lights weigh about as much as the AA and AAA batteries in them (with the exception of the i5T and i2R that are rechargeable), have MUCH more output, run for far longer, and if they are rechargeable, they take a couple of hours at most.

And to think, the designs weren't updated to lighter Li-Ion batteries or LEDs until 2012? I think. So, they remained unchanged for 50 years.

The Doohickey Plus is a huge improvement over the "classic" model. I bought one about a week ago, and have used pretty much all the additional features already. And I don't even keep it on my keys--it's usually carried loose next to a small folding knife around the house.
Title: Re: What's on your keychain?
Post by: cody6268 on May 03, 2022, 09:14:44 PM
I lost my keys, but eventually found them. I rebuilt the set to be as lightweight as possible, and haven't gone back to the old set. Current setup--Nite Ize G-Series as the carabiner. I can no longer use it in the same way as I did the 200 lb. rated carbiner I had (which had been used to close chains before), but it does the job its intended to do without much size and bulk. I'm lucky I have a 25 year old truck (in two months, I can get a much cheaper "antique" plan from Hagerty as the truck was built in July 1997, and is a 1998 model) which means no stupid fob or heavy, oversized key. I can replace it for less than $5.

(https://i.postimg.cc/BnyFyNbB/20220503-145613.jpg)

The red key was intended to be the house key, but I ended up selecting the wrong one. It does the same job as the pink boot did, in making my keys more visible.



Tools are Olight i1R2 in "desert tan" and Proto's J-100. A sliver i1R2 is swapped in when the other is charging, and vice versa.

The Proto J-100 is a modern interpretation of the "classic" advertising item from many years ago. Since the '90s, a rebadged Stanley design had been used, but in 2017 Proto released a redesigned version. I didn't know they had it until going over a catalog two years later.

It's super thick!

(https://i.postimg.cc/qMvCvWCG/20220503-145731.jpg)



Problem is, they're hard to get. Fastenal, despite selling Proto items in-store here, doesn't have them, and would have to special order them for me. People charge stupid prices on eBay. Since I had to go online anyway, I got mine from Grainger for about $6. It's a surprisingly low price, as it's US-made; but around the cost of the quite cheaply made Nite Ize Doohickey, despite being TWICE as thick!

I love it as a large screwdriver and a pry tool. I actually had to take it off my keys and hit it with a hammer in a pinch once, and it barely even scratched. I think these are made from a proper tool steel, like D2.

Pill fobs are a important part, but one little key point, “movement” if your pills are loose and you move around or toss your keys, or just by simple everyday sitting down and standing up, if your pills are loose and move around over time they will turn to powder! One thing you can do is use is cotton balls, if you are storing like a morning and nighttime dosage, put cotton in first then the dose, then another layer of cotton, then the dose, and then cap it off with cotton, thus giving it no play, the cotton will absorb the shock and stop the pills from turning into powder over time,,

Leatherman By the Numbers #10 for the last few days, and, boy, it's come in handy for so many things! I don't use a bottle opener much these days, being alcohol-free, so I never really require that functionality, but all my one-piece "keyring" tools seem to have one! Instead, I use them for prying, poking and other "my fingers and/or knife are NOT going anywhere near THAT!" tasks, and each of my collection has its own unique shape and use.

Is the BtN my favourite? Not completely, although it was a kind and thoughtful gift from Mrs. M., which means it will always be special. But it really does work for quite a few little daily jobs.

While I'm typing, my entire collection (IIRC) is as follows: the BtN #10, the Brewzer, the Piranha II, the Gerber Shard and the (original) NiteIze DoohicKey.

Cheers! It's funny how, within something that many would no doubt consider quite niche and precise – the World of EDC – there are such varying opinions on whether keyring tools, especially any form of mini pry bar, are actually useful.

I'm firmly rooted in the "Yes" camp, but many on this forum, whose opinion I respect hugely, just don't find them all that essential.

An interesting world, to be sure!

Nice Echo, I’m finally going to switch up my setup, it’s going to look somewhat like that, it’s a unique carabiner that has a swivel D-ring at the bottom so that the smaller clips I got along with it can clip onto it, the carabiner itself is an auto lock and a weight load of 4.5KN, so not one of those normal 150lb ones.. I think is should be here tomorrow..

Cool those gate locks are a really good idea as is the spinning ring on the carabiner, should make it much easier on your pocket

You think? I mean I used to clip to a belt loop before I made my leather key holder that I’ve been using, I wanted the auto lock cause I never had one and since I was going back to carabiners why not? Then I saw that one with the D-ring and said perfect, it will give me something to attach the clips to instead of a swivel to turn the way the keys would line up and not out from the hip and making it even longer, cause that’s why I stopped in the first place cause the entire keyring was so long and when I walked it bounced front to back and having to hear and feel that with as much walking as I do it kinda makes you nutty, so I’m hoping it won’t be as long nor annoying..

Very nice set up Echotech. 

@MadP, that is an interesting biner.  I have a swivel lock biner and really like it.  I use it more for utility that for a key keeper.  The D ring swivel is a great addition. 

I carried my keys on a cheap aluminum biner for years.  One day I tried something different and man its been a weird journey.  Like Echo, I've tried so many set ups I have forget most. 

What I like to do is separate my tools that I carry from my keys. 

I use the Victorinox belt clip with my wallet so my Midnight Manager and Rovyvon live on that set up.  This way when I leave my house I alway have something with me. 

My vehicle set up does have a light that is going on 10+ years ( photon x ).  I like having that light with me.  The coin cells are easy to find and cheap.  I've used that Nite-Ize biner now for years.  I've switched it out several times only to come back to it.  I keep my vehicle key and fob separate so I can take it off and nothing is heavy on my ignition.  My Leer Topper has tool boxes and the rear glass locks so I keep those keys on their own push release.

After all these years the spring on the gate is still pretty good.  I dont actually use it like that tho, I clip it into the belt thing as shown.  I've become a fan of using these type things to secure to my belt rather than belt loops.  Never had a fail on a belt loop but I just prefer this attachment option better. 

Once attached to my belt I can slip keys into my back pocket.  No jingle, no problems.  I can access them as needed and re-attach very easy.  I like those push button things tho admittedly I was not sure they were secure.  No issues at all so far.

Post by: MadPlumbarian on May 26, 2023, 05:05:29 PM
I have that same niteize one but it came with a bunch of metal s biners, I wasn’t to thrilled using that main biner but the small s ones I liked, of course I can only find three of the five that came with it,, thus why I ordered a bunch of those others, so I can set up my diff categories on each biner then hook it to that fancy heavy duty one with the D-ring..
Back when I drove I had just the cheap $2 carabiner with a bunch of stuff on split rings, but of course as you put the key in the ignition all the other fell to the other side of the carabiner and made it like a foot long and it would keep whacking you on the knee,, drove me nuts!

Go for the locking biners.  They are great.  I still have a few of the plastic ones that came with the set up I showed.  Not to keen on it since I had a few issues with items coming free.

That’s why I went with the G-biner, so whatever you put on yeah goes through the first gate but then also goes through a second gate to not fully lock but keep whatever down on the bottom keeping the upper biner easy to open and use, I think they have one of the G-biners with one of those slide locks on the upper gate but I think the size was a little too big,,

Some time I’ll get to loading it, the only thing I’m not liking is that the G-biners don’t have a large opening gate, so taking it off that D-ring isn’t easy, but it’s still doable, but unlocking the main carabiner is easy, so taking it off a belt loop will be easy, when time comes to where you only want one specific tool like the flashlight then it’s going to be a, ok wait let me get it, then good to go..

Thanks, I think it really worked out, I had to put split rings on the two(tag/sak & store card/4way) this way they hung narrow vs wide and hitting both sides,, the keys still do but nothing bad,
As for the duct tape, I have two setups, one I took a 2” cotterpin and wrapped it, only prob is over time the tape starts to o<—<, the tape stays on the pin but tape itself starts falling down itself, but the one I have on my keys at the moment, I believe I made, using a bolt and two nuts, made it to the right length, tightened the two nuts, then gridded everything to a smaller size, one so what gets wrapped would allow more tape, and the two nuts so they didn’t look like nuts, and drilled a hole for a split ring, thus when the tape was wrapped it would be held up by the bolts head and it wouldn’t allow the tape to fall,, I had pics of another but I have no clue where they are,,

Must say carries pretty nice! As for the light it’s a Nitecore Tiki GITD Light, 300 Lumen! I originally had a Nitecore Tube, but there only 55 lumen, so I wanted the upgrade, so like over a year ago I got it, I gave the Tube to the kid to go with his keys and he was loving it, on/off throughout the house, then he was like “dad, what kind of batteries does this take I think I need to replace them”  :dunno: I was like :facepalm: buddy, all you have to do is open the little rubber flap on the side and plug it in to recharge it,, so he was like “oh no way, that’s cool” :tu: lol..

Little update, I must say that keyring setup carry’s very well, I hardly know it’s there, the one little hiccup is a specific pair of convertible pants I have, the belt loop is not in that normal spot on the side, it’s more toward the back, so when sitting in the kids car I have to pull the keys aside so I don’t sit on them, but other pants and shorts I haven’t noticed anything and they carry well,,

I actually checked and the original Geekey still has the pipe feature.  The clone doesn't but has the opening of the mouthpiece drilled in about 1/4 inch.  I guess if you were handy enough you could drill it out, but there's definitely not enough room in the bowl.

Here's the listing of the various functions.
One, that I think is cool is the design of the wrenches.  Standard ón one side and metric on the other.  Haven't tried them out yet but I have used the Phillips screwdriver on a bench I made years ago.  Worked just fine.

I’m sure some of you have seen or heard of the inchworm or centipede keychains, well I kinda wanted one but wasn’t paying the price, so I looked around but couldn’t find anything cheaper, so I figured why not try something myself? :dunno: I just so wish I had a lathe, anyway, I looked around the house trying to come up with something I could use and well, I found these, simple crochet needles, now, how do I make the marks that don’t wear off? So I marked the inch and half inch marks with a thin marker, went to the workstation and put the needle in the drill, I tried a few things that didn’t really work but found my triangle file and it work perfect, I made the inch a little wider then the half’s, then since it was working, I marked the quarters and then lightly scored lines, it didn’t come out perfect but it kinda worked, I mean hey I used a drill laying on a workbench with the trigger pull with a clamp, I then used a grinder and cut the end off and curved it, and put a hole in the middle so I can put a split ring on it,,

A triangle file would also work.  Looks like you might like a pocket wrench.  They have mm and inch.  2 inch total marked off in 1/16th increments.  Pretty handy.

Well, if our order ever gets here, one thing I did have her sneak this in,, a doohickey, it’s not a pocket wrench as much as I would have liked to find one but you just can’t find them, but on the keychain I have a alox sak, so I have some tools, but not a pry bar, ruler, or wrench, and well, it kinda has most of the tools, plus I liked the carabiner, fig it would make it easy to get on/off the keychain,, so yeah I’ll have a ruler in both metric and standard, but I still made that imitation inchworm, I know I have a 5” flat bar somewhere that doesn’t get used, I know where the one that does but the one that doesn’t get used I could cut in half cutting the 90° off, rounding the end off and drilling a hole for the keychain, but oh well,,

I’m not a medical professional, but the last first aid training I had (earlier this year) taught the chest compression only method of CPR, i.e. no rescue breaths.

:shrug:

Ours is called Emergency Life Support (ELS) and is taught when we do Personal Safety Training (PST) i.e. cuffs, limb restraints & baton etc.

ELS is different to First Aid at Work (FAaW) in that it doesn't cover all the bandaging etc and is very basic, hence the "E" in ELS and is about 90 mins vs 3 full days. When it comes to CPR we are given the option of "rescue breaths" but they are not required.

We deal with some less than pleasant people who may have ingested various drugs and if a package splits then they are likely not going to survive regardless (so why risk your own health, or life, for them?) Family, friends and colleagues then I'd give the "rescue breaths" (mostly  :whistle:)

NB: This is awl UK based.

Interesting, I have some US friends who have said the same thing. However, our health officials recommend 30:2 (unless in case of drowning where we start with 5 rescue breaths). The CPR mask on my keychain are just for off duty carry though, normally we use an ambu bag for ventilation. I am not sure why some countries recommend copressions only, I wonder if it is to reduce the number of people who are hesitant because of the mouth part. The most important thing is that you do something, so compressions alone does for sure increase survivability. Admittedly, I have done compressions only several times while waiting for the bag and tube.

As a retired thus lapsed First Aid- Cpr instructor/ Red Cross then American Heart ( teaching job, not Coast Guard lol),
it was found that non pros don't want mouth to mouth stuff! It was also statistical, most people who drop at, say a bus stop, old people like me, it's probably heart not choke related- thus comps only.
Not one type is good for all, why we need both.

   I looked up the Uncle Bill's tweezers.  They look efficient.  I need to see a SWIZA knife to see whether I want one or not.  They have everything in NY.  Have you held one yet?  Or maybe owned one?  They evidently don't believe in keychain knives at SWIZA.  Best wishes. Gary

This is my “posh” set up for going out 8) 

Blank Industries carabiner, TEC python & QR clips and tritium vial, RovyVon, SAK Manager, mini lighter

I’ve got a more everyday one which is pretty similar and hangs in my front pocket using a TEC P7, with Nitecore Tiki and SAK Rambler

Over the years I’ve tried many (many!) set ups using OPT’s and keychain tools and lights of all descriptions but eventually found this perfect for my needs

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230525/4a407f4a6ff17e3e73f2fe907b4c96c6.jpg)
Full credit for turning me on to the TEC Python clips.

I had been looking for a means to attach items to my keychain such that they could quickly and easily be detached and re-attached, while being light, not too bulky, and reasonably reliable and secure.  I’ve had some on my keychain for at least a month now, and they seem to be just the thing.

My one complaint is that I wish they had managed to make the fixed hole a bit larger, as it is too small to accommodate some larger size split rings.

:hatsoff:

Glad you like them Nate, I’m a big fan. The gates seem more reliable than a lot of other clips imo

The hole is pretty small you’re right, I bought a pack of split rings from TEC so haven’t had any problems but I can see if you wanted to use something larger you would

Isn't that shop trolley token supposed to be used by the other end? Or does it like this just release the trolley without getting caught inside the slot?

That's exactly the idea. Inserted this way you release the trolley without leaving the token in. Some old timers leave their keys dangling in their trolley, which in Finland is still pretty safe, but generally a bad idea! This is my most used tool, btw.

Hello guys,

Saw this last week at the hardware store, and it gave me an idea. This is my latest addition to my keychain:

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

here is size comparison with keys and 91mm SAK:

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Not very heavy in the pocket. I'll go with it a few weeks on my keys to see id it's a keeper or I'll send it to the tool chest. It's nifty how it hangs on the keyring by itself, like this, with it's jaws closed  :D.

   I tried carrying this SwissTech mini multi-tool on my key chain for a while.  It clamps on to a key ring also.  You have to unfold it to take it off.  Very secure.  It drove me nuts.  It is small but heavy.  Then there is the concern of putting additional wear on an auto lock mechanism with the heavy keys and multitool swinging around all the time.  I have seen the whole lock get loose from wear.  Extra weight couldn't help it any.
   I bought the thing on close-out at Walmart years ago for $2 and have actually used it a few times.  I tried using it for a zipper pull.  Not for me.  Lately I have carried it in my belt pack.  Since I have gotten more into Leatherman, it has since been replaced there also.  Best wishes.  G

I really enjoy keychain carry pics. 

Here is what I carry.  I should mention I carry my Midnight Manager and Rovyvon A5 on a Victorinox Belt clip along with my wallet. 

I carry my Keys separate on a NiteIze clip with a Photon X and pill container with locking Sbiner.  I have used the NiteIze black clip for a very long time as well as the Photon X.  I carried a Manager exclusively for years as well until FolderBeholder gifted me the Midnight Manager.

The squirt has a broken scissor spring, It’s the second one this has happened to.
I wouldn’t mind but I don’t think I haves ever used the scissors on either of them.

Had this set up for a few years now, clipped to my left front pocket pretty well from the moment I get up until I go to bed

Used to carry more OPT’s to achieve a similar carry, but the Rambler has proven more useful

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240224/52bb67f7d46bba3127ebb884e7c418d3.jpg)

Once in a while I switch over to my “posh” set up :D Rambler replaced with a Manager and the Nitecore replaced with a Rovy Von. The Nitecore definitely holds its charge longer

Yeah, funny how things stay the same, once you find your thing. Hard to say if it's a rut or a groove.

Amazingly, all my edc gear in rotation fits in a medium sized tackle box. My knife and MT and keyring tools change from time to time, but tend to stay the same for months, sometimes years. My EDC has so many capabilities as is, so I gravitate towards lighter weight in keys.

Granted, key ring is not an ideal way to carry. Pocket bulk and jingle are annoying. But you generally have a set of keys on you at all times, so it's logical to have the most important capabilities there. For me it's light. My eyesight is not very good, and in low light I can't read or do any fine work. It's very dark in my country for at least 5 months in a year.

But apart from light, I could leave out all other tools. I have a bigger blade, nice scissors etc on me anyway. But whenever I take something off the keys, I find myself missing it soon.

I don't carry keys in the tradition sense.  While I do have one key on a ring, my vehicle keys ride in a coin purse in order to protect the buttons from accidental activation in my pocket.  Without it, the sliding doors on my sweet 2023 AWD Sienna Hybrid would open spontaneously, then the vehicle would text me asking to have its doors closed.   I have a piece of cardboard situated to shield the buttons, and its close to 100% effective.  Emergency cash lives in there too, which I almost never use.  It could be used for credit cards, etc., as well, but I carry a slim Big Skinny card holder for that. My Man Toys reside on a separate ring.

I've gotta say I really like those minivice grips.  Smallest ones that I have are around 4 inches.  I do have a mini adjustable wrench though that I keep on my EDC ring.

Well, my EDC set hasn't changed in quite awhile now but I'm working on a different setup.   Went into the local big box home improvement store, yesterday, and came out with this Nite ize Bigfoot key rack.
(I'm a sucker for something like this.)
Gotta play around with it some to get the layout that I want.  May replace the locking S biners with a set of the No. 1 G series, I don't know yet.

Nice! I had my eye on one of those Bigfoot setups for idk how long, I so wanted a new keychain setups for ages, and I liked how the Bigfoot spread everything out (let alone the foot) I thought about getting one of those “ufo” rings and using a nice carabiner, I wanted something with strength, so I came up with setup and love it, it could use a few tweaks but it works,,
