Frequently Asked Questions
What should I consider when purchasing a keychain clip?
There are just a few things to consider when choosing a keychain clip. We would recommend that you think about the normal activities you will be exposing your clip to. If you think you’ll have your clip with you on long and rugged hikes, or while traveling far distances, we would suggest you find a model that is extra durable and has a secure clasp. We would also suggest you think about what items you will be putting on the clip, so you can better decide the proper size you will need. And finally, it’s best to think about the style and color of your clip. Some keychain clips come in bright colors, which can be fun and useful to have as they will be more visible.
What else can I put on my keychain clip besides keys?
Depending on the size and quality of your keychain clip, you can really place anything else that fits. You can put things on your clip like a small flashlight, pepper spray, bottle opener, compass, Swiss army knife, or even a portable charger. Since this clip will be on you or your bag, you might want to reduce the bulkiness in any way you can. That’s why we would suggest only placing items you need on a daily basis onto your clip. If you’d like to use your keychain clip for things other than keys, we would also suggest you take a look at some clips that are made for versatile uses.
