Where did you get that Gerber clippers, I have never seen those.
Great keychain tool you have got there.

The flashlight is a prototype Exolion Ti CR2 (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=105666), the SAK is a sterling silver one that was bought at Tiffanys, and a blue Glowring Version 1.

The Wal-Marts around this area used to have them and I got this one from there. I got one for my wife and a couple more from SMKW when they had them on sale for about $3/ea. I just checked SMKW's site and they don't have them in stock anymore.

[Makarov]

Here's my keys, I still need some stuff, and should really get rid of some of the keys that I don't use daily.

The keyfob-service is of the kind that doesn't deliver out information to anyone exept for the police(and they use a callback-system that ensure that they only give the information to the right people)

Hi,

Where did you get the reward keyfob?

Thanks,

Gadget Guy

[simbad]

I have the same system but the company is called CPP (card protection plan), for a small fee per year I got covered all my cards an keys.

Makarov, you definitely need some Peter Atwood stuff for your keyring.... :knuppel2:

[Redhed]

I use http://www.boomerangit.com/ although I've never put it to the test... Knock on wood.

[Makarov]

Where did you get the reward keyfob?
I bought it from a company called Keyback (http://www.keyback.com/), I've got both the keyfob and a sticker for my cellphone from them, yearly cost about $12 per fob. Reward for delivering lost keys is approx $8. Unfortunaly they only operate in Scandinavia but as Simbad says there's a lot of companies that deliver this service.

Don't I know it!
I want a Booger, but haven't found the $$ yet.

Thanks for the info!

Where's the key to the Daimler Chrysler product? ;D

And who makes the cable ring?

[alfonso2501]

Hi,

Where did you get the reward keyfob?

Thanks,

Gadget Guy
Hi Gadget Guy! I use stuffbak.com (http://stuffbak), which is pretty much the same idea, except instead of returning to the police they return it to the local UPS store for their predetermined reward! I keep one on my key ring, one sticker on my car remote, & one sticker in my wallet. And just like Redhed said, knock on wood I never had to put it to use.

[Bagheera]

Hi guys,

Here's a keychain setup that I use:

http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~henskens/Bagheera-key-chain-extended-small.jpg

I have different items grouped together and can with the attached very sturdy little "clasp"* attach it to the base setup or leave it.

I sold the Arc AAA in its kydex sheath from Eric Noeldchen and now use a Fenix L0P and also stopped using the small UV LED torch on the extreme right (torpedo like).

The small blue "spy capsule" hold 5 200 mg asperin tablets.

The orange whistle is an ACME Tornado of which I cut down the sides making it a 3/8" high easy to pack super loud whistle.

Missing is my original brass Spark-Lite that I received from its inventor Oak Norton himself :),* I silver soldered a small streamlined ëye" to it with a small split ring and this makes key-chain carry easy.
Also missing is the UtilityKey that I traded with my good friend Dajak, it's tiny but after sharpening the "blade" has a mean edge.

Best Scouting wishes from Holland,

Bagheera

[Darksabre]

Here is mine.

[Ready]

Where's the key to the Daimler Chrysler product? ;D

And who makes the cable ring?*


I don't keep the key on the ring.

I got this ring at a local Ace, but I am not happy with it. On two occasions, when trying to remove on item, all the items slid off into the dirt. I have gone back to a series of small split rings.

Ready

[Gadget Guy]

Here are the items I keep on my keychain at one time or another. Check out the titanium "KISS" keyring...

[simbad]

Cause I am a stainless steel freak here is how my kaychain or utility keychain looks right now. The keys are aluminum, the glowring and pendrive are plastic but the rest of the items including the split rings are made of stainless steel (different grades).

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b391/condemor/keys.jpg

I am onboard again and I carry all this in my shorts pocket everyday. No rust at all* :D

[Gadget Guy]

Ouch! Don't you get jabbed all day carrying all that stuff in your pockets? ;D

[RyanMalpiede]

Here are the items I keep on my keychain at one time or another. Check out the titanium "KISS" keyring...


those TI turbine blades are sweet huh ... I need to get another though ... the one they sent me was a fatty, I need a skinny.

[Gadget Guy]

Hey Ryan,

I love those turbine blades! I have a personal collection of about 50 different types and about 500 or more total blades. I started collecting them about three years ago on Ebay. The prices have since gone through the roof! I have the blade that you are looking for, so just email me your address and I will send it to you at no chagre. I rounded off the edges for easier pocket carry, but it's still a very nice EDC and the price is right... ;D

[foxy]

Whats a titanium turbine blade and why do you carry it? I looked on ebay and didnt find anything.

[Gadget Guy]

Hi Foxy! A turbine blade is used in a jet engine and they make them in both titanium and steel. The smaller ones are nice for a unique item for your keychain. The serve no real purpose other than that. Search Ebay under "Turbine Blade" and you will find them. The titanium ones only come up for auction every once in awhile. I hope that helps... ;D

[Crocodilo]

First of all, sorry fot the poor quality picture, taken with a cell phone.

Second, I must say that I put toghether this simple utility key chain only after lingering around this forum for some time. I did previously own and use one of the items included, but only found about the others here. So, thanks everybody!

Third, this is a very simple setup, but a very balanced one, I believe. It is made up of:

Leatherman Squirt P4
Prybaby XL (thanks Peter Atwood and forum!)
Arc-P AAA (thanks forum!)
Small cord fob (thanks "whatshisname" for teaching it here!)

Secondary to the utility key chain, there are two others used for... keys.

Also on the pictures are my Benchmade/Emerson CQC-7, Fisher Space Pen, Citizen ProMaster Aqualand I, and Moleskine notebook.

Greetings from portugal

[pipedreams]

Nice set-up. That Emerson has seen some use!

[Deaths Head]

I like the beat-up look of the Emerson. Great pics for a cellphone!

Simbad, what's the folder on your keyring? I like the clip. :)

[Deaths Head]

I believe it is a Benchmite II.

[simbad]

Deaths Head is correct, the knife is a Benchmite II black coated and what looks like a clip is the lever to lock/unlock the blade, a very particular feature on this model because you need to push that lever to open and close the knife.

[Crocodilo]

I like the beat-up look of the Emerson.* Great pics for a cellphone!


Thanks. The Emerson is my oldest folder (bought it at a BX in '96, I believe), and is my pocket mainstay. The Space Pen is also quite worn out, but I too like it that way.

Hopefully, the util key ring will see as much use, which is a good sign. I've had the Squirt for a year, used it abundantly, and no signs of wear it. Mighty good finish on that one...

[M.TEX]

Very nice for first step......

[Crocodilo]

Here's the final part to complement my pics: a photo of the full keyring. It's done in modules that I carry as needed, and you can see starting from the top, clockwise, house keys, car key, utilities and work keys.

[Solstice]

Hey Gadget Guy, where did you get that little key-shaped bottle opener near the top center of your pic? That seems like a very practical way to have a bottle opener on your keychain as it would fit flush with the keys. It looks like a pretty inexpensive small piece of steel, but you tell me.

[Trashman]

Hi guys,

Here's a keychain setup that I use:

What's that black retangular thing in the upper left? It looks like a miniature alcohol flask.

[bubbacatfish]

Looks like a permanent match.

Hi,

I got it at: www.cymba.com

I think it cost about 5 bucks and they have other great items as well... :knuppel2:

Thanks for the link!

[Gadget Guy]

Thanks for the link!


Your welcome.... I'm going to buy a polished version of the opener. I think the cost is $10.

Always nice to see Atwood gear in use... :knuppel2:

I always enjoy looking at other people's set-ups, thanks.

Here's mine:
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/454/dsc051187po.th.jpg (http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc051187po.jpg)

On my keychain I carry an Inka Pen, a .5watt CR2 LED light from advancedmart.com, an SAK Classic, a house key and a car key.

Sometimes I swich out the light with a different one from my collection (see signature), but most of the time I carry the one shown.

Thanks for looking,
Dan

Mine:

Starting from the MaxP Keyper and working my way around clockwise, a few feet of paracord with a grimloc attached (I used to have less than a foot of paracord attached, but I find that occasionly it's not enough) , bottle opener, white fauxton, UV fauxton, red photon freedom III, SAK classic, mini-bic lighter.

When I get the money I'm going to replace the bottle opener with a prybaby, but I'm skint at the moment :(

Nice! Very cheap, does it stay on good or is it a bit loose?
Even I can order them since even the shipping to foreigners is cheap, only 51cent :D

Yup, it's actually rather tricky to insert and remove the lighter from it because it's so tight, I can hold onto my lighter and swing my keys around without any problems :D

I think I may order one too, I have a Kydex holder for a mini bic, but's a little bulkier than I'd like. Can you easily remove the lighter? And is it possible to insert it with the holder protecting the flint/mechanism?

[Pyro]

It's easy enough to remove the lighter, but I tend to use it while it's in the holder, I just checked and it's possible to insert the lighter so the holder's protecting the flint etc., but I can see it shortening the lighters life span since the rubber is rather tight and removing it will probably pull at the button and the metal bit a little.

[Nighthawk]

These are my keychains

The one with the carabiner (Petzl 23kn with quickdraw) has my car keys and garage door opener.

The black clip was purchased at a uniform shop (don't remember the brand), it holds my spare car keys, work, church, home.

The Columbia key caddy has a Spyderco Ladybug, mini-SAK, LG USB Drive, pill capsule, SwissTech Utili-key, Fox 40 Whistle (shaved on the bottom), Inova Microlight, ASP T2 Tactical Tool.

Is that a small dig camera on the top chain of toys?

The kydex sheath is for a mini bic lighter made to be loaded striker in. (made by Deaths Head if you're wondering) Just waiting for the lighter.

What is the tiny knife you have there greencobra, does it have a lockable blade?

Brookstone removable key ring [center]

[Deaths Head]

Man, that's 2 P1s in one day. I gotta get me one of those. You guys like them?

[7k7k99]

without a doubt, the P1 is the brightest little affordable flashlight I've ever seen. It puts my surefire's to shame, I have to say at half the size and half the price

[clipse]

Man, that's 2 P1s in one day. I gotta get me one of those. You guys like them?


The P1 is an awesome little light. I use mine almost strictly as a backup to my HDS EDC U60. But if I need less in my pocket it is the P1 that goes with me.

My utility keychain right now, sorry for thr horrible picture.


http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b391/condemor/Kchain001.jpg

The newest item is the Deaths Head´s kydex sheath that works perfect for short or long mini-bics.

[Jaybee64]

Heres mine :D :D

[greencobra]

As DH said, it is the Jester, 19.99 just about anywhere, and yes, it does have a lockable blade.

What do you mean by "long or short mini Bics"? I have only ever seen one size. Nice set up. I think I'll raid my box of spares and make a secondary "keyless" chain with all the stuff that can't fit with my keys. (Extra SAKs, lights, whistles, UtiliKey, maybe all those shopper store tags, etc...)

[Deaths Head]

I am not a smoker, so when 2 members asked me to make sheaths for mini Bics, I new they must be around. They are much smaller than the regular Bics. Perfect for keychain carry.

Nice set-up there. You are quite prepared there. Also, thanks for the kind words.

[simbad]

About the short and long Mini-Bics here is the pic for comparison, this longer model is quite difficult to find, it looks like a* "discontinued" version only found in tobacco shops. It´s exactly the same width/thickness but a bit longer and transparent.

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b391/condemor/Mini-Bic001.jpg

[Redhed]

Weird, I have never seen one of those long mini Bics. I like the white mini Bics because they are a little bit transparent - easier to see how much juice is left! Thanks.

[luigi]

Long/Short Bics and or "Cricketts" are very common here in Argentina.
I bought a steel dolphin-shaped case for my Mom and she carries that around everywhere :-)

Hmmm, I'm wondering how a kydex sheath would work with a Zippo? ;)

[greenLED]

I think I sent everyone with large pics a PM, but I may have missed a person or two. Just in case I did:

A gentle reminder that maximum allowed size for posted images is 640x480 pixels; this prevents horizontal scrolling in smaller screens and helps load pages faster.

[iceman]

Hi,

Im just wonderin if you can tell me where to get on eof those awesome Exolion Flashlights, and how much they cost.

Thanks,

Iceman :)

[raptor]

if you mean the AARC light you can get them at www.arcflashlight.com the regular is 30.00 and the premium, which I have is 40.00, little brighter.

[raptor]

keys with Atwood nano...awsome little damasteel knife

[RyanMalpiede]

WOW I love that nano!!!!!!! How much are those babies?

[simbad]

My car keys sporting my Booger V Notch. For me is one of the best keychain knifes ever, right now I carry all this attached to a front belt loop, if I need the knife I just pull the string and voilá* :knuppel2:

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b391/condemor/Keys3.jpg

[greencobra]

Those Boogers pack a punch for their size, very useful tool no doubt. I have a Imp and although it's limited on it's prying capabilities, another useful item. I find anything Peter makes that can pry is worth every penny.

[simbad]

Well, since I have the Booger on my keychain I don´t feel "naked" anymore if I don´t carry any kind of knife with me, here in Spain you´re not allowed to carry any pointing knife whatever the size is, so a simple Leatherman it can be confiscated, then you can go to pick it up at the police station 24 hours later after paying a fine. This is a bit off topic but* funny because I have been stopped by the police last winter at 6am. with a .12 gauge gun for hunting and a box of 50 magnum ammo. behind the seat of my truck (with my h. license of course) and they only said "handle it with care and good hunting"*

Try www.swissknivesexpress.com - I think that's where I got mine. It's an OEM Voctorinox accessory - I bought a couple and have a spare stored in some stuff at home so let me know if you need the model number to find it. Be advised it's vinyl/pleather lined with ballistic nylon. Wasn't a deal breaker for me, although I was hoping (in a thickly accented Italian accent) "it's a gonna be leather" when I purchased them.

[kmcrawford111]

Very nice selection, JimH. Out of curiosity, how much does the pocketwrench weigh? I see myself buying one.

[Pwallwin]

Anyone know where I can get some twistys in the UK? They look cool :)

[kmcrawford111]

I was actually thinking of buying a larger one, so if you want I can buy one for you at the same time and then ship it to you in the UK. Send me email if you are interested.

[Pwallwin]

PM sent - Thanks

[JimH]

Out of curiosity, how much does the pocketwrench weigh?

1.5 oz. Thinner than a prybaby, but just as effective for prying. The end opposite the wrench end is designed for prying. Very handy - I use mine a lot.

[Bobby D]

Where can I find the quick connectors shown on a couple of set-ups on page 1? I've been trying to get amflos, but not easy in the UK.

I still don't get what exactly the turbine blade thing is. Little help?

[Gadget Guy]

Are you asking what is a turbine blade? They are the blades that go in a jet engine. There are all types of sizes and most are made of titanium. I put the small ones on a keychain and they look great! I have a collection of about 50 different types. I will try and post a pictures tomorrow. I hope that helps?

if nothing...............i have to say that those are the neatest looking keys i have ever seen............especially the one with the small tapered holes.....

i'm assuming that sota of lock would be nearly impossible to pick??

Very cool .............even if everything is PINK!

Hey figtree
I must emphasize they are my wife's keys,repeat my keychain is NOT pink, NOT pink, so don't get scared about your buddy Luigi using Pinky stuff :-)
About the keys please don't watch the following video:

*edit* Forgive me, I couldn't resist an opportunity to tell a short story with the smileys...I'll try to be good from now on, I promise!

He warned me not to watch it, but I didn't listen! Why, oh WHY didn't I LISTEN!?

And to make this an "on-topic" post (retroactively), I will say that pics of my keyring will be forthcoming, pending a few additions to the already too-heavy "flail" and the acquisition of a decent camera. I like what I'm seeing...this thread is giving me ideas!

[Pwallwin]

Wow...That's a great addition to anyone's keyring. But the part I don't get is, are there different types of bumpkeys? Or just a universal key?

Please someone say they've got one!! O0

[greenLED]

He warned me not to watch it, but I didn't listen! Why, oh WHY didn't I LISTEN!?Telling someone to not doing something is a great way of making them do it anyway. Try it with your kids.

On the other hand, you guys have a choice - I check links to make sure they're not malicious code. :(
:gl:

[luigi]

Bumpkeys are different for each lock type, you just need a "normal" key for the lock cut to the deepest position for each pin. It's easy to do at the locksmith shop.
I guess the dog is the last defense point now :-)

With great power comes great responsibility. Thanks for looking out for us greenLED (and all you other moderators)!

Am I correct in assuming that POSESSION of a bumpkey is legal and that only UNLAWFUL USE of the key will result in prosecution? Or will asking a locksmith to make you one of these send up red flags at the local police station?

[luigi]

It is as legal as having a screwdriver :-)
If anyone gets one and tries let me know.
To be offtopic I say.... er.... sorry ! :-)

Sorry, one more thing - Are they reusable? One you 'bump' them do they fit the lock, and never return to their original universal state? How is this off topic?? I'm getting one for my keyring ASAP!

[luigi]

They are reusable, nothing happens to the bumpkey and unless you bump too hard nothing happens to the lock, so it looks as if you opened with a normal key.

[Bobby D]

Finally got my gear together,

Atwood whsitle
Atwood mini-prybaby
Photon Freedom, green NV
Ti pillcrusher, home-made
House keys
Paracord lanyard with ti ferrules
Berkeley clips and rings

I've found the scewdriver on the mini-pry a little difficult to use when it's attached to anything, and it fits perfectly onto a BP mini-clip. I've also polished it as the bead-blast finish was steadily eating my brass keys!

Doubt the set up will stay this way for long though!

[Pwallwin]

Titanium ferrules, are they the things at either end of the cord? They look great on it. Nice!! ;D

[luigi]

Finally my keychain pics, I use 2 one for keys and one for "tools"

On the "tools" keychain:
- ACU gray paracord with glowrings and TI berkley snap clip
- TI prybaby
- Spy capsules (Black with aspirins, blue with medicine)
- Mini Swiss champ with toothpick and berkley clip
- Tweezers (to compensate the SAK with toothpick)
- Tombow XL pen with berkley clip
- Some duct tape in the paracord just in case I need it

On the "keys" keychain:
- Keys (of course)
- Green tritium glowring
- PhotonIII turquoise
- White Fauxton with improved LED
- Swiss utilikey
- Termomether
- Carabiner

[Bobby D]

[Uncle Zungle]

My 'minimal' keychain:

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/edcultraxrgt/Key.jpg

[porkchop]

After watching that video you posted, luigi, it reminds me of an old saying my dad told me on a couple of occasions:

Son, a lock is made to keep an honest man honest. Otherwise, it's only there to slow the criminals down. If the bad guys want your stuff they will figure out a way to take it.

[0dBm]

Uncle Z,

Yeah, I like that keychain. Simple. I suspect that most here started that way, add way too much before realizing the difficulty of carrying it all, and gravitate to a simpler setup as a compromise between the minimalist and the extreme. The cycle occurs a few times a year for me.

[Chiselgrind]

Sweet toys! :clap:

Here's a picture of my key chain. Latest addition is the stripped twisty that replaced the old split ring. Stuff attached includes keys, a SOG Crossgrip multitool, a LED light from Everest (both momentary/constant on) and an aluminium tube with the Geocaching logo. These things are designed for beeing used as mini caches but since they're waterproof and airtight I use mine to store anti-snakebite medicine for my dogs.

This setup is great but I still have some plans. First of all, I'm thinking of attaching all the keys to a split ring fitted carabine so that I can remove this from the twisty when I need to use a key. The reason for this is the fact that I'm adding more stuff to the twisty which makes it a bit bulky to use a normal key, especially when it comes to smaller locks like the cable lock on my bike. Stuff I plan to add includes a small compass and a small prying tool. I also need to replace the LED light, it works great but has blue light and I'd prefer white.

[Stormdrane]

Got a Fenix e0 today, so I added it to the keychain for a test drive.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b90/Stormdrane/FENIXe0.jpg

[Chiselgrind]

Sweet stuff man, that Fenix looks awesome. By the way, is that a Travel Bug you got there?

[Stormdrane]

By the way, is that a Travel Bug you got there?


Not sure what a travel bug is, I think you're referring to the pill fob. What I have on there are the Fenix e0, house key, tailgate key, Swiss-tech Utili-key, titanium bottle opener, dog tag, couple of store tags, Sears 4-way screwderiver, SAK Signature Lite, black aluminum pill fob with 7 aspirin, truck key, and type I paracord lanyard with a swivel clip and screwgate.

[meeshi_ma]

Deaths Head was nice enough to send me some more of those Ti rings (huge thanks to DH!!), so my key chain is finally "finished"!!! (Are they ever really finished?)

They call it a keychain for a reason - I used a 5" length of titanium curb link chain, cut titanium rings and Berkley clips to make it. Hanging off of it are the keys, a glow ring, an Arc-P, Atwood whistle, oil vial, and a damasteel Booger.

Stormdrane: Yup, riprater is absolutely correct about the TB's, a geocaching thing. However, I was referring to the dog tag like thing with what looks like the end of a bar code in the middle of the picture. Might be a pill fob, might be a store tag of some kind. A Travel Bug looks very much like a dog tag aswell. :)

[Solstice]

My keychain hasn't changed much (see cost of EDC thread- Keys, Ti bottle opener, Victorinox Signature II, Arc AAA-P), but the way I carry it has. I got one of these:
http://www.tadgear.com/x-treme%20gear/civilian_labs_gear_keeper.htm
and I love it! Not sure if this has been talked about in other threads (probably somewhere), but regardless, I have the non-extending end clipped to a carabiner which is clipped to my belt loop. The other end is clipped to a "twisty" which holds my keys. This set up keeps the keychain aligned in the (left) pocket so there is room for my cell phone, and of course prevents loss. The cord retracts and extends smoothly and it goes far enough out that I never have to detatch the keys to use them. The unit is also light and unobtrusive, and I actually think it looks rather cstylish even though it's visible outside of the pocket. I'm actually thinking of getting another one for the other side to attatch my tactical wallet when it arrives. I'll try to take a pic of the setup when I have a chance.

Aaagh, this cinches it, Solstice...I need one now too. :(

You won't regret it, provided you wear the kind of pants that have belt loops somewhat near the pockets and have a spare smallish carabiner lying around (the clips on the reel are too small to clip on belt loops directly). You could also possibly clip the unit and keys to a purse if the whole pants thing didn't work- I'm not up on women's clothing too much these days ;), but these things are very versatile. They are a bit expensive for what they are, but seem very well designed and well made. I had the fortune of walking over and visiting Tad Gear directly so I saved on shipping and got to handle the merchandise in person- this was something of an "impulse buy" but I'm definately glad I sprung for it so far. Let me know what you think and how you use it if you get one.
Sorry for the mini-hijack, back to keychain picts!

[scríbhneoir]

I found my key chain at the feed store soon after I found my hay buddy.* It is a miniature loose-ring snaffle bit.* I think I paid less that $3 for it, and it has worn like iron.* Don't think I'll be replacing it anytime soon.* It fits fine in my jeans pockets and loses itself regularly in the depths of the unknown in my purse. On one ring are an SS Jester, my SpeedPass, Sliver Grippers, Mini Prybaby, and a key to what I have no idea but I don't dare get rid of it 'cause then I'll need it. The other ring has truck and house keys, SE Ladybug, Atwood whistle with lapis, and a Photon Micro. I usually have a knife--okay, fine--two knives in my pocket...and even more in my aforementioned purse... ;D

[gunnycal]

The simple stuff...
Living in an urban setting, I think having a few extra 20's is about the most important thing I can do. Besides the money, I also have light, fire, knife, scissors, tweezers, toothpick, whistle, can opener, and kevlar fishing line. The mini baton get's tucked into my waist band and serves it's defensive purposes also.

Where did the hollow baton come from?

[gunnycal]

This one came from knifezilla.com There are cheaper ones out there, but at the time I was ordering some other stuff from knifezilla. It is sold as a "ninja" keychain with a set of 4 "throwing spikes"...so once you toss out the silly little nails, oh sorry...the "deadly ninja throwing spikes"...you have a useful storage keychain MUCH cheaper than some other options. I can't tell you if it is water proof or not, because I have never had it get soaked in the 3 years I have been carrying it.

Semper Fi,
Gunny Cal

[mateen]

Here's mine...I like to keep things pretty compact. A lot of other stuff loose in my pockets, though...

Got my office and house/gate keys, capsule with aspirins, car key on a Nano clip minus the keyless remote, NVG Photon-II, sliver grippers, Ti key tool.

[ScarabDrowner]

...an aluminium tube with the Geocaching logo. These things are designed for being used as mini caches but since they're waterproof and airtight I use mine to store anti-snakebite medicine for my dogs...


About that tube, I just found some while looking at the travel bugs... do you think it's big enough to hold folded/rolled U.S. cash?

[chris777]

Before I found this forum I thought I was wierd for having a keychain loaded with tools, Glad to see I am not alone, I will have to post my set up as well.

BTW where can I get some of the clips I have noticed some of you have? I "appropriated" a few clips from my daughters "hit clips" But can't find any worth a flip anywhere else.

[laurent]

I'm now in a minimalist mood, so my keychain is very light. No long ago, I could barely store it in my pocket, so I thank it was time to evolve :

http://img479.imageshack.us/img479/6770/keyholdertk6.jpg

I found what were my needs, and I keep it bare and simple. I deported some flat objects (like a steel mirror, my flat rosary or a Leupold lens) to my wallet, and the tinbox (with medecine and some little tools) I carry is no longer on the keychain (because it's noisy).
So there is no more than :
- a LRI Photon 3 red covert for emergency illumination. It's of course not that powerful, but since I'm usually carry a bright flashlight, it was more than sufficient. I like the fact that the led is protected, I really trust this little illumination device ;
- a Bic mini J5. I don't smoke, but you never know when you should need to start a fire. It's not a Zippo, but I never have a trouble with these lighters. The ring goes through the ventilation holes ;
- my keys. Since my driver hold the keys of the car, I don't need to carry them. They got their own keychain ;
- a cheap aluminum carabiner. I found the only tool I need to quickly extract from the keychain was the knife. So it's alone, and directly fixed on the carabiner ;
- a Victorinox Signature. It's like a Classic, but with a small space pen in the handle. It's not bad, but the capacity of the pen seems ridiculous to me. I can't remember having wrote more than two pages with it, and now it's dry. But the knife is enough for most urban tasks ;
- last but not least, a small whistle. It's more a safety tool, like the lighter. But I found it handy when I had to catch attention of taxis, since the city is very noisy.

Since that when I quit my home, I can't forget the keys, I'm never devoided of minimal tools. That's the goal of this keychain, and I'm quite happy with it.

Main firearm w/extra mag or speedloader

Leatherman squirt P4 (upgraded from a Gerber Clutch)
and an Atwood Area 51 Keyton

I think I am happy for now.

[Chiselgrind]

alwilliam: Yeah, nice set of toys. Love that nasty cat of yours :D

Anyway, I added a few things to mine. Nothing patricularly fancy though but I switched from a blue LED-light to a white (no idea why I bought a blue from the start) and I added the COPY-tag of my latest Travel Bug Dog Tag just for the looks. Now I really just miss a good prying tool, then I've pretty much covered all of the bases I wish to cover with my keychain. :)

[Gadget Guy]

DH, it's a marlinspike that I took out of an old knife. You can't believe how useful it is for various projects. Thanks for the sheath's, they are always top notch. :highfive:

No, it's stainless steel. :shrug: This setup could be carried in your pocket, but I wouldn't recommend it. :laugh: I carry it in man purse or it sits by my desk. Ti would be cool though!

Maybe someone can make something like that for us. Let's say where the key hangs, a hole for your finger.

I carry the same Stanley 3 foot Powerlock tape measure (model 39-130) in a pants pocket. I looked for one in several stores until I found them at Ace Hardware. Home Depot sells a noname small locking tape measure, but the lock was unreliable on all the ones I tried in the store. The Stanley lock works well.

[RyanMalpiede]

Ti Marlin Spike you could get them for $20 ... IF you can get the woman to sell them seperately. I tried, she sounded like she might, but I failed.

http://boyeknives.com/products.cfm?cat_id=4

[Deaths Head]

Cool link Ryan. I bet you can tell them that you already have the standard model, and you want to just purchase the spike. Did you try that?

Ti Marlin Spike you could get them for $20 ... IF you can get the woman to sell them seperately. I tried, she sounded like she might, but I failed.

http://boyeknives.com/products.cfm?cat_id=4

That's not $20 for the titanium marlin spike. It's $20 over the cost of the stainless steel marlin spike and you only get the titanium version not both of them.

[RyanMalpiede]

DH ... yeah I tried that too. She just said no one had ever asked for just the spike since it has to be retrofitted onto the knife in the shop (Spike + Retro $30).* She followed with that she had a very limited supply of them. Damn they look perfect for the chain too.

I find it pretty helpful for those times I dont want to pry with a knife blade. The pointy end is a little sharp for pocket carry, but do-able. I took the cord wrap off to slim it down.

The 2 keyring thing works pretty well. Nice having just keys on one of them to use in the car, etc.

[kmcrawford111]

If you look at Leatherman's site and click on the Juice (on the "Tools" page), a table is shown with the features of the Juice models, including the two common Squirt models. Also, if you hover over the Juice on the "Tools" page, the picture changes to read "A little Juice". So apparently the Squirt is part of the Juice line.

The G-Fob was something we started a couple years ago, we only made a hand full of them. We wanted something simple that could be used for self defense, if need be. We just got real busy with some other stuff and it kind of fell by the way side. We can pick that project back up, if you guys want some.

I would really like one! ;D I hope you keep the orange color as an option.

I was contacted by Graham, and those GFobs are $25 each. It's a great substitute for the T-Bot which is nearly impossible to get you hands on.

[iceman]

Lets do this! :)

[Deaths Head]

Someone should set up a group buy thread.

[knuckleduster]

Josh has said he will crank up production. I am in for a couple!

[Deaths Head]

I guess I'll make the thread. But I am not in for one. I already have 2 Ti-Bots.

[Deaths Head]

Here's the GFOB thread (http://edcforums.com/index.php?topic=4739.new#new). We can take our GFOB discussion there.

Well, being inspired by JimH's "Survivorman Keychain" thread, I came up with my own survival keychain. However, with the final addition of my spy capsule I have realized that it's just too darn much stuff to carry and I've reverted back to my old keychain setup. Here's some pics of what it looked like:

http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8357/dsc06104el3.th.jpg (http://img301.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc06104el3.jpg)

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4629/dsc06107vc6.th.jpg (http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc06107vc6.jpg)

From carabiner clockwise: truck key, house key, spy capsule (containing 10mm compass and room for other stuff), SAK Classic, ARC AAA Original, Southern Specialties Folding Lockpick, Inka pen, BSA FireSteel, Aluminum whistle (from Singapore thru CPF), home made lanyard with 8' of gutted 550 paracord terminated with a pop-lock cord lock (as opposed to melting ends).

I really like this idea and I intend to keep the survival related items, but I plan on including them in an EDC bag of some sort that I have yet to determine.

finally got around to taking a (rather bad) pic of my keychain. I had to use my computer's webcam (a PS2 EyeToy set up to work on the computer) to take the shot, so it sucks :laugh:

and this is just the beginning... I've already got several more additions planned. Hopefully soon I'll be able to finish it off :D

[jymkym1]

ah, the fork, i got that a few years ago and just now found it again...i use it for snacks on the go and for removing staples, it is surprisingly strong... i burnt up three drill bits trying to drill the hole in the handle....(this thing is not easily bent and could be used to pry with in pinch) .it's about 4 or 4.5 inches long.....i am trying to find a supplier for these right now,(i think i may have found one) i may order a bunch.... also there is a matching spoon and knife....thnx for asking

[LowWorm]

Yeaah! Edwood! Don't change a THING!

Love that NeoGeo Pocket doodad.

My keychain is this, now, but it may be undergoing a little more slimming. Thinking of moving Arc and Pico Pen and Alox SAK to another keyring, and replacing them with a SAK Signature Lite.

Clockwise from top:

1. Keys
2. Atwood Whistle
3. Spy Capsule armed with two tylenol
4. Alox SAK Classic
5. Pico Pen
6. Non-ghetto Swiss-Tech Screwzall
7. Arc AAA-P

[RyanMalpiede]

lowworm ... how do you like your pico pen ... I "might" have to get me some. :smitten:

[JimH]

The pico pen is very nice except for one thing, and I quote tvodrd here, "The Pen keeps insisting to mate with the other stuff. :green:"

[LowWorm]

Yep, Jim, my PicoPen is um, very cozy with my other stuff... :-*

If I were to just sit there and watch it mate, I'd be a little put out, but for the most part I don't notice its promiscuity in practical use, since it's so small it just disappears on my keychain. I love that it can use standard multipen refills and the quick access (just pull and pop) is a plus to me.

BUT I can see where the magnet may put some off...just boils down to your personal preference. ;)

[evanlocc]

This is mine at the moment... too many key! >:(

From Carabiner clockwise: Truck Key, House Key, SAK Classic, Zebra PenPod Pen, Tool Logic Traclite and Sandisk Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive.

I'll be using this combination for while, but will eventually change a few things... I like to switch out my pen and my flashlight with others from my collection to keep things interesting.

What's this item? I see it in your pic but I still have no idea. :)

[smokelaw1]

This is the no-keys, no flashlight set-up.* Xicar multi-tool (back-up cigar cutter).* The Atwood Whistle and Mini Prybaby XL are new additions (I LOVE THEM!). In the other pocket is a lighter, Fenix P1, cell phone and my keys. In the back pocket is a pen/notepad combo.

Smokelaw, where'd you get your keyfob?


I have no idea. I actually just recetnly experimented with it again after doing a split-ring monstrosity for a while.
Now I am using the twisties, I like how easily I can split things up to different pockets, and keep them in "chinks, but the key fob was nice for removing one tool at a time. It was better for cargo-poant carry. 5 days a week I am in a suit, though.
Still looking for that magic set-up (besides just buying two of everything!)

[Stutoffee]

I seem to remember that Columbia (the brand, NOT the country!! :laugh:) do one of those keyfobs with the separatable (Is that even a word? :idiot2:) keyrings on it. I looked at one in "Go Outdoor" afew weeks ago, priced about 8 quid!!

[luigi]

REI has that kind of keyrings.

I like the Air hook caddie.

That top ones looks promising. I am going to look into that one.

[KSH62474]

This is my usual keychain i bring with me for emergency's that might happen. Not actually EDC but i do bring it along sometimes. Its definately handy
Starting from the whistle clockwise, i have a Fenix E1, Cut down Mini bic, swisstech 8 in 1 tool, and a bison capsule with 3 strike anywhere matches, 2 quiklite tinders and a $20 bill with some personal info wrapped around it

The multitool(swisstech) is a bit heavy though. I probably need to get something lighter, especially since i don't need the pliers.
