KeySmart Key Carabiners - Quick Release Dual and Mini Carabiners, Stay Organized w/Carabiner Keychains, Never Lose Your Keys

I bought a Keysmart a year ago for myself because it seemed like a better solution to the problem of having many keys on a key ring or carabiner. The Keysmart serves the purpose well.Keysmart is a simple device whose design is the result of good common sense. The two sides are punched from thin aircraft aluminum sheeting and finished with rounded edges and powder coating. Wear parts are stainless steel for long life. Basically, the device sandwiches keys so that it operates much like a pocket knife or multi-purpose tool. Keys are held between the aluminum sides by bushings with inside threads to which endpieces are screwed in. Keys are separated on the bushing by thin fiber washers. These make possible an adjustable friction fit for how tight or how loose the keys are held. The system works well and is expandable with the purchase of a separate kit. If the keys on one end begin to fold out too easily, you just tighten the bushing on that side using a flathead scewdriver, knife edge, your fingernail or whatever. It’s all very simple.The optional Quick Disconnect is a great way to keep your vehicle key (with fob) separately attached to your other keys. It consists of a small figure 8 twin spring-loaded carabiner with a single positive locking lever which securely locks both sides. Then, when leaving your car for service (or lending it), a twist of the lever unlocks the carabiner, allowing you to detach the vehicle keys from the Keysmart. You car keys stay together on the carabiner until you reattach to the Keysmart.The Keysmart and the Quick Disconnect work well together as a key-keeper and organizer. Because I like it so well, I bought 3 Keysmarts to give to my sons and son-in-law for Christmas this year. Guys are always hard to buy for. I enjoy giving things that I myself use and like. So far, no complaints! 😊

seems to be functional and well built. works as a part of the larger key organizing system. i haven’t used it for the purpose i wanted when purchasing… my large auto key is now hanging out with the rest.

First of all, I really like the KeySmart Compact Key Holder. It fits its name brilliantly, silencing jangling keys and reducing them to a small space in a pocket or purse. It even provides a bit of extra leverage when twisting the key in a hard-to-turn lock. The quick release seemed a natural accessory for handing only the car keys to a mechanic or valet, so I ordered it as soon as I knew that the key holder was a good purchase. It arrived and I quickly realized that my arthritic hands weren't strong enough to turn the release. A pair of pliers did the job, but not too many folks want to tote a heavy tool like that around, especially when the purpose of the KeySmart is to be compact.Minds that were clever enough to think up the KeySmart and its useful accessories can surely come up with an easy-twist release. I'm looking forward to the result, but keeping the "quick release" and pliers handy until then.

Works well.

very secure

It’s a good product but I seen the same thing at AutoZone for the price I paid they have five of them for the price of the one I paid.I wish I known

But that's okay. It didn't do all I wanted it to do, but it did the most important job--easy release from the key ring. I can deal with the rest.

I use these to attach my dogs tags to his collar instead of the traditional rings they give you at the vets. It makes it so much easier to change them out every year or to add never tags. Even with him rolling around outside they stay on thanks to the little lock this specific one comes with in the middle . Great option and I recommend buying!
