One of the best things I ever bought was this bad boy.
Damn, I almost wish I had more keys just to justify this.
Honestly, it takes as little as like, 2 keys and you can load it with those little tags from supermarkets and such. Eventually I'll put my library card tag in there.
Here's what my set looks like. Some 6 years post purchase.
907 gang represent
I used to use that kind of thing, and it was nice until I needed to carry a lever tumbler lock key and some other keys that were abnormally shaped.
Looking at those, it seems like they would work. Might stick out a little bit on the side, but I think they would work.
You have to change all your locks to have only one type of keys though.
No, it's pretty obviously just rods going through the "eye" of the keys, any kind with holes (which are the vast majority) should work. They're obviously gonna use the same kind of keys in the product photos but that doesn't mean its a forced thing. If it was a forced thing they'd not sell at all and wouldn't have come to the position of being mentioned here.
It only works with basic keys. Anything that isn't slender and flat with teeth on one side juste won't fit. Maybe all keys are like that in the US, but it's certainly not true elsewhere.
My home key and school key both are smart things with RFID tags so wouldn't fit. If they did I'd definitely rock one lf those.
I think they try to make these things so you can just put in your normal keys, so they work with the different key profiles.
I've got house keys, storage unit keys and padlock keys on that bad boy. I drilled out a post office key to make it big enough for the screw once.
My muscle memory of knowing exactly how to move the keys to get the key I need and which keys I need to cycle through to find the one I need would be soo thrown off from this. Is it as handy as it looks that it'd be worth the trouble of relearning?
I had the same one, and my biggest complaint was that the screws would come undone in my pocket.
But the second biggest complaint was that keys on opposite sides could sometimes get stuck together.
I got rid of it and replaced it with a belt clip carabineer one and it's great. It also doubles as a belt end holder if your belt doesn't have one.
You could probably use some removable threadlocker to prevent the first problem, though not sure how to fix the second one.
I did. It still managed to wiggle out, probably from the heat in my pocket. I was actually impressed
Oh wow, yeah that’s kind of impressive.
That's actually very impressive
I liked having mines, having a mostly used key on the far end made the handle work as leverage. Had to get rid of it when my new flat used the thick old style keys though
Omg FIRE
