Nite Ize's Carabiner-Based Detachable Keyrings

To the person with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In outdoor gear manufacturer Nite Ize's case, carabiners are their hammer.Between battery-powered car key fobs and biometric locks, you'd think traditional keys would be going into decline. But Nite Ize reckons that a subset of people—property and facilities managers, or even heads of large households—not only carry a lot of keys, but often need to detach them to share with staff or family. They thus designed this KeyRack Steel S-Biner, inspired by climbing gear. It allows the user to separate keys on their own mini-carabiner and quickly detach them. A "Bigfoot" variant provides five separate "toes" for individual mini-carabiners. They run $11 and $12, respectively.
