Berkeley Point Mini-Clip Mini Review

[KeyGrip]

Another huge thanks to Knuckleduster for providing me with these beauties. http://www.berkeleypoint.com/products/hardware/clipkit.html I was skeptical at first if these would be better than my usual keychain hardware, but I've found these much more convenient and less annoying than cord or split rings. Ive been using two of them constantly since October, and I lent two to my friends to put on their keychains (which are much heavier than mine) They're both members here, so perhaps they'll chime in. Right now I use a Mini-Clip for my Prybaby and a Pico-Clip for my Arc. True to BP's claim, these are really tough clips. The Pico is surprisingly strong considering it's size. It's held up to all the abuse I've delt out to my keychain, and even survived being used in an improvised mini-nunchuck made by clipping my Arc to a Vic Soldier. The caribiner rides in my backpack for quick attachments. There's not much else that can be said. This versitile pack of small, well made pieces of hardware is handy in any EDC. I can't see these being replaced any time soon.

Here's a quick pic of the entire McGizmo clips (sold by Berkeley Point), in case you're not familiar with how they look:

Check the EDCF Specials thread (link on my sigline) before placing an order with them - they offer a discount for our members.

I love Berkeley Point! Careful when shopping their site; lots of cool "try me" stuff. Their clips are fantastic and I have one on just about everything I own. The Picos are smaller than I expected, and though tough for their size, get replaced by the Nanos unless the item being attached is tiny. Be sure to check out the new mini-gate snaps BP recently started carrying. Thanks for the link Green; I've used it several times O0.

yeah, I ordered a bunch of stuff, with the discount, of course, and I haven recieved it yet. Its been a lil over a week, maybe i am anxious. But i notice that they dont have a shipment tracking feature, which bugs me. Ill wait a few more days, then fire them an e-mail. I ordered some paracord, some mini/nano clips, the Ti bottle opener shackle thingy, and some big *** SS rings that weigh a quater pound. I want to braid the paracord around it, I was inspired by something I saw on this site. If I ever learn to tie knots properly, I will take pics. Great site, but a hand full of clips here, some split rings there, and bang, your pushing $50!! Lets hope it comes soon. :yoga: :yoga: :yoga:

I didnt realise that if i refer to a large donkey, that the cyber-nannies change the words that i type. I thought this was a freedom of speech crowd. >:(

[dinoadventures]

don't worry. BP has wicked nice customer service. they forgot to mail me something once and i emailed them about it and they priority mailed me the missing item and a free harness clip too!

Thanks for the link Green; I've used it several times O0.It's them we should thank; I just list the links they set up. :)

Did your previous post get changed? I thought there would be a moderator tag in the message if it had been... :shrug:

mikeymoto, you are correct. Just to expand upon this, whenever a moderator makes an edit within a post, our software automatically generates an "edit" flag for that post (like the words in italics that show in the bottom of this post, as I'm editing it). In addition, we also type in a little note about what the edit was all about (hotlinked image removed, link shortened, etc.). Finally, we do have language restrictions in place (as per our membership guidelines and "G" rating), and some of those get filtered automatically as a post is submitted.

PM sent.

OK, back on topic.

Yeah, I have been using a medium size clip that Keygrip gave to me. I originally had it on my big key ring, and had it secure my Micra or my SAK Rambler, but their rings were too small on those tools and they keep falling off. I then but it on my big key ring to clip to my pants for awhile, and it was just big enough to clip onto my beltloop, but small enough that I didn't even notice them. I now have it connected to my Micra again, but this time connected to the tool itself and I clip into my keyring. Overall I really like these little guys and I would recommend them if you need some small study clips.
