Best keychains according to redditors

If you don't care if you have a fancy design, like on that site, you can get them on Amazon for less than $40 shipped for the vial in green or blue and a $26 holder.

Watch out if you search for tritium on Amazon, though. You'll get a TON of things that are just regular glow-in-the-dark but have tritium as a search term.

I came here to make sure someone told OP about this. Also clean your brake bobbins/buttons and calipers properly!!

Chain cleaning you will need:

• Chain Brush
  
• Chain Cleaner
  
• Chain Oil/Wax (wax doesn't fly off as much)
  
• Some rags
  
  Procedure - Note that it looks he is using a rag instead of a chain brush
  
  Brake Bobbins/Buttons and Calipers will require:
  
  
• 2 or more cans of Brake Cleaner
  
• a 10 mm bolt with 10mm nut
  
• Socket Set & Spanners/Wrenches
  
• Vice Grips (in case a caliper is seizing)
  
• Old toothbrush (optional)
  
• More rags
  
  Bobbin Procedure
  
  
  Caliper Procedure
  
  If the caliper pistons are sticking, use a brake pad and the vice grips to lock the FREE caliper pistons in place and pump up the brakes to pop the stuck ones free. Don't pump them so hard that the pistons come out of the caliper though.
  
  edit - added toothbrush to list of tools

That's cool, I hope you have a off white vest like Gene Kranz :).

Might I suggest adding one of these to the zipper pull of your carrying pouch?

I made the chamber flags with these chamber flags and these key rings

If you want to still keep your work keys on a separate ring from your house keys, you could try something like the Free Key System.

Otherwise, you could try something like the Keysmart, and put your 5 keys in that, and then just have that, the car key, and the fob on the ring.

I personally use the Keysmart, and it's been great so far. I've had mine for a few months already, and it's held up great. My best friend has had one for several years, and his is also in great condition.

I also recommend a suspension clip, I've been using this one by Keysmart recently, so I just drop my keys in my pocket but hook them on the top of my pocket. That makes it easier to pull the keys out of your pocket, and also keeps them dangling in your pocket as opposed to bunching up at the bottom.

Hope this helps!

Get it cheaper on Amazon without the weeks of waiting.

I just switched to a Freekey key ring and it's great. I can't make extra copies of my apartment key, so I needed an easy way to take my house keys off my enormous key ring when I go for a run, and this is working perfectly.

seems it can actually be made for less:

8x flags for $8.57

A selection of "remove before firing" tags, ranging $8-$10 for five

looks more like $3 each at current prices.

-------------


And no, I absolutely didn't buy a pack of these ...

Nice Walther, nice knife. You could go with a standard carabiner or an S-biner, both available at Home Depot, both like to stay closed. I use a Freekey system that hangs from a standard carabiner, myself. Keybars and Keysmarts are pretty popular around here and they seem like they are worth looking into.

I think this is the one that my wife got me!

Why not just have 2 keys? I go out, start my car, lock it and come back in for 5 minutes. That way the front and rear windows can get defrosted. Some mornings when I don't do this the first 5 minutes of my drive I can barely see. What tips do you have for defrosting my windshield without warming up the car?

Another bonus, I always keep both sets with a quick detach so if I start my car then remember I forgot my lunch I can unlock the house and grab it without having to turn off my car.

I've been looking and looking to upgrade my EDC, but it's a lot. I really want a bag, pen, maybe new wallet (current one is filled TO THE MAX. Would like to downsize), knife/multitool, waterbottle, etc., etc.

It's hard to find small multi tools with clips the SOG Baton series has clips and is a little larger than a sharpie. the Boker Tech tools all have clips and are about the same size as a traditional swiss army knife. If you want to go smaller I'm a big fan of these suspension clips and a small leatherman or SAK.

This little piece of metal literally changed my life. Check for the P-7 Keychain Suspension Clip Online. I’ll try to post a link to it on Amazon.

Basically it’s a clip that keeps your keys from sliding to the bottom of your pocket and lumping in with everything else. I find it clips onto the top of a jeans pocket perfectly and doesn’t do too bad in slacks either. Keys are right where I can grab them not tangled in all my other crap.

Suspension clip is how I carry my huntsman. Hangs great in the pocket and is easy to grab and I can't even feel it normally during the day.

There are cheap knock offs, but the TEC P-7 is what I'm using.

TEC Accessories P-7-Suspension-Clip (2-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LHFOT3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i07Ayb71HBNWF

Out of curiousity, what kind of glow in the dark project?

I went with this and this for my keyring and am pleased with the look.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V7UICUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_o-3CCbPGMMGFR

Well, most of them, but ok, I'll bite. I really like the Bellroy Note Sleeve that I replaced my old, very fat, wallet with. I'm trying to settle on a knife carry right now, debating whether I want to pair my much-loved-but-I-wish-it-were-bigger Rambler with a larger knife or not. The Rambler really is great, though. It punches way over its weight class, which is half the problem - it covers everything I really need day to day, but I like to have a knife that fits my hand a little better. If you have trouble with things balling up in the bottom of your pocket, the Tec P-7 suspension clip solved that quite well for me. I guess that's about it, really.

These are better

This is what you want.

Not OP, but it appears to be the P-7 suspension clip.

Wallet $15 - big skinny

knife $10 - Gerber EAB

keychain $7.50 freekey

suspension clip $5 - tec p7 ripoff

Light - I don't have a good one for this yet. Can someone recommend a small AAA light with a power button (vs twist)? I have a twist one and it kept getting turned on in my pocket.

Buy one of these and clip it to the inside of your pocket.

--> Your EDC keychain is now complete and you're ready for 90% of the EDC tasks likely to be encountered.

several styles on amazon for cheap (one eg.)

True utility makes a key ring system that might give you what you are looking for.
http://www.amazon.com/True-Utility-TU245-System-Shackle/dp/B007IOHPRW

You might also want to add a P-7 suspension clip so you don't end up with the dreaded "EDC bulge".

They make a special 3-sided brush if you're interested, they're pretty cheap too

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BDJ40Z8/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/179-0777839-7385707

But a clean rag will do the trick, just be very very careful not to pinch your hand/fingers in between the chain and sprocket while you're turning the rear wheel.

Some people use kerosene, some use WD-40 but I don't trust any of that stuff near the small o-rings on the chain.

Can't go wrong with a quick wipe down with a clean rag though.

Excluding a custom installation of a clip you could use that loop at the end to attach a pocket clip, such as popular the TEC P-7 for example.

If you prefer the knife itself to keep the original look, or maybe you want a lanyard on the loop and you don't want a modern looking clip, you could consider a pocket slip with the clip built-in. Here is one example I remember: https://www.collectorknives.net/shop/accessories/ck-tuscany-leather-clip-slip-for-folding-knife/

This needs some truck nutz

Switched to these

Rotary13B1 Insert Before Flight Keychain - Multi - 5pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007UMD300/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4sTfAbPE478CC

Couple of options off the top of my head.

• FreeKey System
  
• Patent Keyholder with 6 Rings
  
• KeySmart - Compact Key Holder
  
  I own the Freekey system and dig it for not destroying my nails trying to get keys on them, but for organization needs, you may want to go with the other two.

Suspension clips work better just attached like this.

Brewzkey Bottle Opener, Stainless Steel by Brewzkey https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RZQBCE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dwoWAb6J2P0CV

I have had something like this on my keychain for 15 years. Never failed me and is compact like the rest of my keys. This particular one is made in USA stainless steel and well reviewed on Amazon so you probably can’t go wrong.

I’ll continue to look and see if I can find the exact one but it’s pretty much that design.

Also, HIGHLY recommend the FreeKey system.

This or this for flashlight.

This This, or, This For a multitool depending on the size you want.

This or This for knife (Note: I am not a knife person, I have a Squid and I like it and I've heard good things about the Kershaw Chill)

Exotac FreeKey System

Little late to the party, but I would recommend Rotary13B1 - Remove Before Flight Keychain. It is extremely useful when trying to find your keys.

Here are a few on Amazon. I got one of the keychain ones for my SO since he often forgets his when we go out. :)

Sure! There are a ton of great keychain accessories out there but the criteria for mine are all items must:

1: Be < 2" (Preferably 1.5")

2: Fit in my pockets comfortably (jeans)

3: Be used at least once every 3 months
(Ambu Pouch excluded)

Accessories used Most - Least

The Freekey Sytem is the foundation of the keyring and is one of those products that is so elegant in its simplicity and functionality that it seems like it should have been invented years ago.

The SOG Straight Edge Key Knife comes sharp and has held an edge pretty well over the last few months. With its tiny blade it's not going to replace your Ka-Bar anytime soon but I can almost garuntee that you will use it more frequently.

The Swiss+ Tech 6 in 1 Utility Key coupled with The Infora Key Multitool seems to be gaining ground to overtake the SOG Key Knife as top tool in the line up with flat and Phillips screwdriver heads, bottle opener, and serrated blade.

The Streamlight Nano LED Flashlight is an awesome addition to the gang and probobly the one that has saved my ass the most, there are too many times I've wasted time looking for a light source in the dark.

The 2.0 64 GB Kingston Data Traveler SE9 USB drive. Reasonable speed coupled with great durability. The cast in keyhole eliminates the possibilty of losing the USB from a weak tether and defiantly holds a perminent place in my top 5 keychain accesories. Along with its basic utility I keep a file named "If Found: Reward" on it with my information in case I lose my key ring.

The True Utility TelePen telescoping keychain pen is one of those items that doesent get the everyday recognition the others do but is totally fucking clutch when you do need it. I owe a couple side projects I've picked up to this pen, partly because of the writing aspect but more from it as a talking piece.

The InCharge Ultra Portable Charging Cable is a cool little accessory that I thought would get the boot initially but saved my ass when I was in transit and my buddy only had an Apple cable with his charger.

The True Utility FireStash Keyring Lighter is the only item on the list that I haven't actually "needed" but will probobly keep anyway because fire is such a basic necessity and if I ever DO need it I'm probobly going to name my kids True and Utility.

The Ambu Res-Cue keychain CPR mask rounds out the list but might be the most important. Along with it being being a valuable lifesaving/self protection asset it's also super useful for locating my keys. I once read something about humans being able to see more shades of red than any other color and that our minds are geared to "ook out for it. Whether that's true or not it's always the first thing I see when I misplace them and because of its shape it stops my keys from going between the seats.

I didn't have a ton of time to type this up because I'm on my phone at work but I hope this helps!

This is the exact one I bought.

He could have saved his nails with a few of these

Dammit. Though, I also use a skull from a bottle of hotsauce.

First off, many of these things are intentionally cheap, because I do tend to break and/or lose things, so... Here goes.

The best multitool is the one he'd use all the time. I've been a fan of the Gerber Shard for a little while now, but he may prefer something with more components.

I've also heard good things about the FreeKey System. It made things too bulky for my tastes, but I'm also not exactly their target audience. (I carry two keys daily - one for my place, one for my mailbox - plus an RFID keyfob for my office and a barcode keyfob for my gym.)

Thank you! I'm kinda bummed its not a mildly industrial looking pocket clip. Anything in mind that would recommend? Currently considering pairing an H.L. Human Pelican Clip with a Free key System.

edit - Looking for a simple keyring that won't tangle, since I really only carry two keys, a Higonokami knife and a Yubikey 4 for some of my software dev stuff. Aside from that just a Nitecore SRT3 Defender and possibly some kind of Spiderco Knife since my other edc knife broke.

That is specifically this suspension clip but there are less expensive ones

Sorry I meant that I use the chain cleaning brush: https://www.amazon.com/GTSpeed-BLACK-Motorcycle-Chain-Grunge/dp/B00BDJ40Z8

I put the bike on a rear stand, turn it on, throw it into gear, then spray the cleaner onto it.

Kill it, let it soak a bit, brush it, wipe it spotless.

Then turn it on, kick it in gear, spray the wax on the inner and outer chain, let it spin a bit to fling off excess and bam I'm done!

The S1000R oil has to be checked hot, so I check that last once everything is all done.

They are basically a wicked popular keychain for motorsports people

Agreed, I’ve been meaning to add one of these to my aluminum Tool.

Sorry fellas, I've been caught up with school/homework. But not to worry, OP delivers..

• Nexus 7
  
• Nexus 5 - If you're thinking about getting this phone, just do it. I just switched from AT&T (iphone 4s) to Ting, and I couldn't be happier. I went from paying $50 a month, to under $25 with no drop in service..plus I got a month free (just for switching) and a sexy new phone. If you decide to try Ting out, use my referral link. We'll both get a $25 credit. Yay :)

• ADC ADLITE Disposable Penlight - Cheap. Dependable. Cool to play with.
  
• Pilot G2 .38 & .7
  
• Zebra .5 mechanical pencil. Not sure of the model (the number got rubbed off from usage), but I've had this pencil for over 6 years. The SAME one, and it's still going strong.
  
• 3M Littmann Lightweight II S.E. - THE LIGHTEST steth you'll ever wear. I've tried the cardiology 3 and various others, but after wearing them for >5-8 hours at a time, your neck starts to hurt. With this one, I have to check to see if I'm still wearing it at the end of the day. Yes, there IS a slight difference between the 3 and this one in terms of acoustics but to me, it's not worth the $100 markup and neck pain.
  
• Zippo Regular Matte Pocket Lighter - I don't even smoke, but being able to create fire on the spot is what separates us from the animals, right?
  
  If you guys have any more questions, I'll get to them when I can. Sorry again for the wait :)

My spirit animal Ralph wiggum. He's a lego figure, but ask the nerds (/u/Jehu920, /u/christuff3r, or maybe /u/nordok) about the Anime figures. I've seen a lot of these lately too.

Good point. I like the Swiss Knife Shop, but you can get them from Amazon too.

Only need a house key, a work key, and a car key fob. All three are hooked to this tiny clip and sit inside my right pocket, clipped to the pocket, next to my knife. This part is always the first to fade from all the friction and ends up with near white fades after just a few months. Eventually it does tear up the top of the pocket, and sometimes the pocket bags, but those are easy to fix (and look awesome with some repairs).

Sorry guys, I thought this comment would show up but it didn't so here's it again!

There is a recessed clip around the internet like this. There are others too. It's just one I found.

Yes i have the bottom one exactly.

For me, I keep my notebook, wallet, phone and pen in pockets. Knife, sharpie, multitool, and flashlight are in a bag. I don't get enough use out of them to justify weighing my pockets down any more. I'm also a teacher, and this limits my carry by a lot when at work. If I'm working, I leave nearly everything in my bag except for essential items (phone, pen, occasional expo pen).

Having a bunch of items doesn't make much sense to me when you can't carry them in an efficient manner. I struggled for a while carrying too much and having my pockets bulging when I wasn't getting a lot of use out of my gear.

My suggestion(s):
Get a bag. Leave less-used gear in there.

Limit your pockets to a single sharpie or pen. 2 pens in 1 pocket gets clumsy.

Slim your wallet if you can. Less weight, and wallet and notebook can go in the same pocket.

Mount multitool and flashlight on a single clip. I like the P-7.

A brass key hook of choice and the FreeKey System is cheap, space efficient, and pretty quiet. As a bonus, you can operate your hanging car key fob without having to reach into your pockets.

Keysmart is amazing, plus created here in Chicago.

If your keys in the bottom of your pocket are causing your drawers to ride up on you, look into getting a key chain suspension clip

https://www.amazon.com/Truck-Nuts-Balls-Nutz-Black/dp/B002W30A4E

Most of those SAKs have a lanyard / keychain attachment point. You could attach an s-hook or suspension clip with a split ring.

I got one of these. It's also a fidget thing for me but it's a lot less annoying for others in my opinion.

$20 leather wallet, bi-fold, my last Dockers lasted me 10 years.

$50 flashlight, FourSevens QPL

$20 knife/multitool Leatherman Style CS

$10 keychain FreeKey System and Gated carabiner

or this

http://www.amazon.com/TEC-Accessories-P-7-Suspension-clip/dp/B00L75GRX6

I bought it off of Amazon.

This is the one.

First Id say swap your current key organizer for this. Secondly id say remove the red paracord and the long chain. Or if you need the red paracord to hold the key organizer, replace the red paracord with the chain

For top left - there's a key ring called the FreeKey that actually works well. I got it years ago to be able to separate my car key while wearing gloves.

Another solution
https://www.amazon.com/FreeKey-2825-System/dp/B00AQ664H6

They use a more flexible metal that is easier to open. The big ring even has a slight bump so all you need to do is press down on one end which opens the other end to easily slip stuff in.

You could try something like this keysmart

I have one of these, Great Choice. Get one of these to combat the weight of it

FreeKey
Just squeeze! I've used mine for over a year. Works really well.

been using this for a few years now. holds up great and is nice and slim.

I love it so far. Makes taking keys off a breeze. I like the way those other holders look (Key Smart) but I have oddly shaped keys.

This bad boy right here makes removing that clip a hell of a lot easier.

From all the similar listings: https://i.imgur.com/08chP7O.jpg, I think this keychain one only comes in the one small size: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM26FVC

Finding White Sox or Cubs themed truck nuts. If you don't know what truck nuts are, be grateful you didn't grow up in the south

Looks similar to the TEC P-7 clip: https://www.amazon.com/Keychain-Clip-Multi-Purpose-Suspension/dp/B00L75GRX6

Or a knock-off: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Outdoor-EDC-Tools-Pocket-Mini-Cash-Suspension-Clip-keychain-Clip-Belt-hanger-Pocket-Holder-Stainless-Steel/32665779476.html

I use this for the bike: https://www.amazon.com/Moto-Loot-KeyChain-Motorcycles-Scooters/dp/B01GB2POWY

and just a standard "Remove before Flight" one on the minivan.

It's how I bought the Car. Got the keychain on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HTU8G4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PGH5U6Q/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been thinking about carrying mine in a leather pouch, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to throw a Tec Accessories P-7 Suspension clip on it. I have one on my custom SAK and it works so well, just dangles off the edge vertically so it doesn't get sideways at the bottom of my pocket. I figure it'll work just as well for carrying the Torqbar while maximizing pocket space.

Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

I found what looks to be the same thing but without the WRX on it.

Personally though, I'm going to wait for the WRX one to get back in stock (if it ever does)
