This thing is just gorgeous – and it does everything but massage your neck.
For those kindred spirits that follow my blog because they love finely machined metal objects like I do – here is your fix! It’s a Titanium Carabiner that is also a split-second keyring (keys don’t fall out/off ring, but it’s easy to add/remove keys without ripping out your fingernails or even using your nails at all!) and is also a small wrench and a fingernail file. I’ve covered a couple of items by this Renaissance man, Denis Stewart, before. He doesn’t shoot the best videos, he shows off his creations with his dirty fingernails and his Kickstarter campaigns are not very polished – but this man makes the coolest designs and creates simply gorgeous gadgets you can actually use.
Stewart doesn’t let any surface area of his inventions go to waste and this new design is the best example of that. You can open bottles with it, turn nuts, suspend your body by this thing with a chain (it is truly that strong), carry your keys and when you’re super-duper bored, you can file your nails. I’m not even kidding.
The parts of my brain that are dedicated to the love and appreciation of shiny metal objects, beautiful finishes, clever solutions for problems you didn’t know you had and more – are sending out fireworks that are nearly sending sparks out my ears. The finished product is beautiful. I am backing this project on Kickstarter because it’s affordable and gorgeous and I know I will use it.
Those dirty fingernails aren’t mine – those callouses belong to the man who designed this awesome thing – he works hard and has the dirt & scars to prove it. Those are the hands of a geek inventor. All hail the geek!
Stewart uses a CNC machining process to make precision corner cuts and to help make the final product so refined. He’s got this design patent pending, which is a great idea, since I’ve seen a ton of split keyring designs that keep getting copied by various manufactures – but none of them look this nice and have all these features.
He’s including this kettle bell style gizmo on one of the backing options that has a super powerful magnet in it to increase how you can hang your keys.
As of this writing, there are still over 40 days left in his Kickstarter campaign, so there’s still time to get your own. You can follow the campaign on Kickstarter, or check him out on Facebook.
