KEY SMARTKeySmart Rugged - Multitool Key Holder for Keychain w/Bottle Opener and Pocket Clip, Organizer for Keys, EDC Keychains, Ring for Car Fobs Key Chains, Expandable (Up to 14 Keys, Black)

THIS KEY SMART RUGGED IS TRULY ON ANOTHER LEVEL, IT IS A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THE PREVIOUS ONES AND IT IS ALSO MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL, THE PREVIOUS ONES WERE MADE OF ALUMINUM. IT IS MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE,THE CLIP TO ATTACH IT TO THE POCKET IS PERFECT, EXCELLENT ADAPTER AND THE BOTTLE OPENER WORKS PERFECT. THE KEYS ARE MORE HIDDEN AND LOOK SPECTACULAR IN THE HAND. I HAVE TO BUY TWO MORE. I RECOMMEND IT 100%. VERY WELL PACKAGED AND A VERY FAST DELIVERY.

I really liked the original Keysmart and mine was in need of updating. I figured I'd get the Rugged version and I'm quite pleased with it so far. It's a bit longer than my previous one which I'm kind of on the fence about. I much preferred the shorter version but I'll get used to this longer one soon enough. As simple as it sounds, I was just really interested in the pocket clip on this. I use a carabiner on my key chain but just got sick and tired of it and wanted something different.Upon receipt, this Rugged version is definitely heftier and beefier than the previous generation one. Compared to the older gen Keysmart, this one is significantly updated in build quality and sturdiness. The key plates are much thicker than the older version and they just feel more solid compared the older gen. The older gen key plates seem flimsy and cheap compared to the Rugged version. As such, there is a noticeable heft to them. While it's not much, this Rugged version is definitely heavier so it might be an issue for some people. But overall, it feels more solidly built IMO.Now, while I agree that this wasn't as easy to put together as the older model, it's definitely not PITA like some other reviewers are commenting about. This isn't rocket science folks...it's not that hard. I have 7 keys on mine and it took me a whopping 2-3 minutes to assemble my Keysmart. I had to disassemble it once only because I put the keys facing the wrong way. Blame OCD for that one.But, I think this is a great improvement on the older version and aside from the added heft/length, I'm really liking this one.

After years of carrying my keys on a traditional key ring, I decided to look for alternatives. For one, I got tired of my keys scratching up and chewing up my leather wallet. For another, long-term rubbing of metal against cloth pants pockets will eventually put holes in said pants pockets. I realize the Keysmart is metal itself. I am more concerned about the teeth of the keys and keeping my wallet as scratch-free as possible.SetupIt does take a while to set up the keys the way you like. I estimate that I spent several hours of set-up time throughout several days after receiving this item before finally having it the way I like it. I would try a configuration, didn't like it, and go back to reconfiguring. Some of my keys are longer than others, like a mailbox key, a deadbolt key, and a car-like key. This means experimenting with different locations along the stack and on either screw to which the keys attach so that all keys can open and close without interfering with one another. I set up the keys so that the teeth all face inward, to the other keys when every key is in the closed position.You may need to loosen the screws, too, so that they keys can move in and out. For giggles, I installed the bottle opener. Unfortunately, the bottle opener did not work as advertised when I tried to open a Martinelli Apple soda drink. Since I don't drink beer, I don't know how well this would have worked on a beer bottle.I bought the KeySmart mag mount for my car keyfob. Unfortunately, this makes the overall length of the KeySmart too long for my use-case. 99% of the time, I just carry my car keyfob in a separate pocket. The mag mount has a keyed-interference fit, along with the magnet itself. This means accidentally detachment is unlikely.What Does This Come With?My set came with the keyholder itself, default screws, and longer screws for holding up to 14 keys. There were washers to act as spaces so that both studs are equal in height. There are two rubber washers, likely to act as dampeners against vibration and slow the back-out of screws. If not that, then the rubber acts as thread-locker.Would I Recommend It?My feelings are so far mixed. On the one hand, I don't think this KeySmart should have cost as much as it did. It's just several pieces of metal, affixed together with screws. Perhaps we're paying for the machining costs? The screws aren't even locked with a locking washer to prevent accidental back-out. It remains to be seen how long the screws will stay in place, as I've used this for just a month. The rubber washer should help guard against this.It does save only a little space in that the keys are stacked lengthwise with a slight overlap to each other. In a key ring, the keys would just go all over the place in your pocket. And yes, my wallet has not been chewed up as often as it had been with my key ring.I did look at other ways of carrying keys. Some use a modular attachment system. You would divvy up your keys by category. Each category (or keyring) attaches to the master key ring. This makes the entire key ring even bigger and more unwieldy!Airport SecurityI don't think this thing will pass muster when going through airport security. For one, it looks like a pocket knife. With the bottle opener attached, airport security would definitely confiscate it. I would suggest having your old standby key ring ready for when you have to fly, carrying only the keys you need.

Lightweight yet sturdy and secure.

I got this to help organize my keys. I really like the blue color and Ive found it easier to find my keys if I have laid them down absentmindedly. It came with a pretty decent can opener, but I ended up putting a different one in just in case it gets attention at airport security or something like that. It fit a lot of keys, and i was able to adjust the tightness of the bolts: tight enough so the keys dont come out on their own! Definitely recommend.

Gift for son in law. It is everything he wanted. Compact, functional, easy to add keys to, and light weight. Winner, winner chicken dinner!

This key organizer has pros and cons -- and whether it is convenient for your use will depend on how you see these. Pros: 1) it is pretty easy to assemble, 2) it can hold quite a few keys, 3) the included clip means you can hang it on the inside of your pants pocket and it is easy to grab. Cons: 1) Even when the fasteners (screws) are kept somewhat loose, accessing the keys can sometimes be time consuming. The keys can get stuck to one another making it hard to rotate out the one you are looking to use, 2) if you use plastic color-coded key marker sleeves to tell your keys apart, they won't work with this organizer, 3) With six keys, the organizer is not too bulky -- but I think using more than six would result in a bulky unit. Does it work OK? Yes. But you might find you are spending more time to get access and use individual keys than you were with a more traditional key ring. Some folks will find that annoying, whereas others won't be troubled by it.
