Been trying to get the most utility out of my keys for a while. It's a bit bulkier than I'd like, but overall pretty happy with it!

From right to left:

  • Keysmart key organizer
  • Rovyvon A3 mini flashlight (this thing packs a punch!)
  • Leatherman Squirt PS4 (wish they still made these)
  • Civivi Tac-n-tweeze tweezers

if you ever have to swap out the squirt give the Gerber dime a try. I've bought 3 and they're great.

[-] pipyui@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Seconding the dime. Bought it when I had to replace the PS4 after airport security. Not quite as nice, but comparable, notably cheaper and still in production.

You'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but no.... I lost the dime to airport security 2 years later 😑

[-] enbee@compuverse.uk 2 points 2 years ago

same. I currently have two but I lost one to... airport security 🤣

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Not convinced with Dime if you have had to already buy three ;)

[-] silent2k@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Don’t take knifes to airports though.

This is why I can't have keychain pocket knives anymore

[-] notapantsday@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Mine has such a tiny blade, they actually let me keep it :D

[-] silent2k@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No, they won’t. Somebody with a bad day will take it just to fuck with you. Happened to me with a blade that was not long enough to stab a hamster.

[-] notapantsday@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

They let me keep it twice, one time I don't even think they noticed it. Another time they opened it and said it's alright.

But both times I just forgot to take it off my keychain and I probably got lucky. If I came across the wrong guy, I'm sure they would take it, so I try not to push my luck.

I believe your Keychain is missing...keys :)

[-] KBae@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They're in the key organizer duh 😂

[-] Junkdata@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I had that key organizer, loved it that you can expand in case you got more keys but they can get bulky quick. I gave it to someone who had more keys than mine since i wanted to try an offbrand (clone) since the keysmart started becoming mainstream brand.

[-] KBae@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Nothing wrong with mainstream, it's a good product that does its job well.

I bet that flashlight puts out a bit more light than my nano streamlight. I have the Leatherman Style PS, which has tweezers. Those tweezers look like overkill, do you use them for other purposes?

[-] Nogami@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The squirt is my ideal keychain knife. It’s kinda like a cell phone camera. Sometimes it’s not about having the best knife. It’s about the knife you have with you not the one at home in the drawer.

Didn’t know they discontinued it. Strange decision.

If you’re wondering about the downvotes, I got brigaded by PRC simps. Lemmy doesn’t yet have the protection against this that Reddit had.

[-] moonsnotreal 3 points 2 years ago

I have the same leatherman and I use it nearly every day. Amazing knife.

[-] TheRoarer@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Have you considered the leatherman skeletool? It's not quite as small as the squirt, but I actually think it is a lot more useful.

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

fire!

it can't be perfect without a fire starter

twisted firestarter, punkin' instigator

[-] KBae@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Hmm what's a good slim keychain lighter? Maybe just a ferro rod? Keychain already bulkier than I'd like!

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

i've been carrying the brass split pea by maratac for who knows how many years. it's so small, you forget about it until you need it

[-] KBae@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

What a cutie! Does it leak fuel or dry out with time?

[-] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

it's not like a zippo, you don't need to refill every week. As an occasional or emergency lighter, refilling it twice a year keeps it functional for me.

i use essence f (white gas). Cheap and multipurpose

[-] Unreliable@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Did not know about the Civivi! Thanks!

[-] obi_one@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Are those tweezers too pointy? I seem to get better results with general purpose ones but I've never had a really nice one like yours.

[-] nufanman21@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's a nice keychain.

[-] ZebraGoose@lemmy.steken.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Nice one 😄

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Is one of those just a stick with a nail in?
