So..........
I'm not trying to push this product but I Just stumbled across it.

It is a key "ring" where all / most of your keys fold into it like compact allen key Set all fold into themselves. Or a Swiss Army Knife.........

I love tools!
I Love organization!
I really dislike the big steel circle of keys. Not so bad in the Winter with heavy coats and deep pockets, but during the warmer months?

I keep my personal key ring tight. Car, house and work front door.
I am not a fan of bulky key fobs so don't always use them.

My work key ring however despite my years of rekeying with master keys is quite large.

My question..... Have any of you any experience with this?
Is it good or is it a cool looking gizmo that falls flat in daily use?

Any feedback?
I'm thinking of Springing $25 to give it a try....

I saw these back before the holidays. My only problem is all the abnormally shaped keys I have probably wouldn't fit too well inside. It's a cool concept, and I would rather carry this than my huge key ring.

I feel like a janitor with all my damn keys. But agree with ratt I have way too many odd shaped keys. I need one of those retractable key holders.

This idea has been around for decades.

I've wasted 25 bucks on a lot of worse things. Up side is if it doesn't work for you it will be a great Christmas gift for someone else. Some young person who doesn't own a lot of keys ... yet.

I had a customer years ago ,who had his keys with the heads and shoulders all cut down and stacked together like that, with a counter sunk sex bolt holding his 6 or 8 keys together much like that just a lot more compact .
This is the closest thing I have seen since that ,to an idea such as that.

I have to admit, that looks pretty smart. I like the compact efficiency of it.
