Hello,

I have mentioned my keychain1 a couple of times in the past, but never managed to get it properly documented, or even a decent snapshot of it. I took this one just before leaving my office for the holidays, and it turned out okay, so I thought I would share this for now.

This is not something I actually EDC, but rather a collection of pocket tools that I have collected over the past twenty-odd years. I brought it into work one day to show a co-worker, and, well, I haven't taken it home yet. As a matter of fact, our HR department uses it as part of the orientation procedure for new employees: As part of a scavenger hunt/office-familiarization, new employees have to get a picture of themselves taken with it for points. Right now it actually consists of several smaller keychains, attached to a larger Night Ize S-biner carabiner.

A very partial listing of the things on there:

  • Bison Designs Survival Pod Keyring

  • Buck Metro Knife

  • Cl!ck Carabiner, Parachute, Ti2 Para-Biner, Ringtool and a MULTI wallet, that I all ordered through Kickstarter

  • CRKT Eat'N Tool (I think there is also a Guppy and a Zilla Tool there as well)

  • Fisher Space Pen

  • Maglite 1xAAA Mini-Mag (upgraded with LED)

  • McFeely's Pocketwrench II

  • P51 and P38 can openers

  • Peanut lighter and prybars from Countycomm

  • Schrade Key Chain Pry Tool

  • Swiss+Tech Micro-Tech, Micro-Max and Screwz-All

  • the aforementioned Atwood collection

  • Victorinox SAK (MiniChamp, I think)

There's a lot of other gadgets on there as well, and if there's any interest I would be happy to make a more detailed inventory showing how it all breaks down.

Happy holidays and New Years, all!

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

ยนNOTE:: Does not actually contain any keys.

Yes, please. I also wonder the prices for each, and if not found at WM or common small-town hardware stores, where I'd find them.

Seems your toolchain rivals mine!

Hello,

Nice keychain!

As soon as I have a chance to do a teardown I will post it.
