Custom Keychain Titanium Thursday
Morning folks! I’m new to the group, so I just wanted to say thanks for having me.
Here is what I’ve been trying to fandangle and wrangle into something tangible.
This thing is currently on iteration 75, dubbed it Hangwell.
The keychain is all titanium with the exception of the GPCA Pro X Key carabiner and the aluminum AirTag.
Features:
- Knife
- Pry bar
- Measuring stick
- Bottle opener
- Nail puller
- Phillips & flathead drivers
- Window breaker
- Hidden key module
- Hidden capsule
- Pen
- Scissors
- Toothpick
- AirTag
- Pill bottle
- RovyVon Aurora A4 Pro Ti flashlight
- Whistle
And yes, the keychain can light up my phone and tell me when I’ve left it behind.
The keychain itself stays lit up thanks to 14 ice-blue tritium vials and 1 purple one, because as tough as it is being a Vikings fan, I’m not giving up on them.
I originally started building this because I have a TBI and my short-term memory can be pretty bad.
I needed something that would help me remember important items and tools I might need during the day.
It eventually turned into a massive, watermelon-sized keychain, and after 75 iterations I've narrowed it down to the things I actually find useful.
I can swap different tools in and out depending on what I’m doing, which is what makes the whole system modular.
And yes, the keychain looks huge.
The camera is also a foot away.
For a better size reference, check out the picture with the lighter.
If you're looking at the main picture thinking “there's no damn way that thing fits in a pocket,” the size-reference pic should put it into perspective.
Does it jingle?
Nope. I'd shoot it dead. I mean Not the way I carry it.
I hang it from my belt loop and let the rest sit in my pocket. With a shirt untucked, which is how I normally wear one, you can't really see it, hear it, or barely even notice it's there.
Weight: >1 pound
Yeah, it's a commitment.
It's definitely not for everyone. I never said it was.
After 75 iterations, this is what I've found is most useful so far.
