Reddit reviews Troika Patent Keyholder with 6 Rings (KYR60MC)

also if anyone is looking for a good way to organize keys, these things are very well worth the price and work fantastic:

I used the County comm mechanics key chain but fed it thru paracord with the threads removed. Used some clips from the fishing tackle store.

then I got one of these

I use one of these..
It's a little pricey but very well built. Items tend not to bunch up and it's quick to remove and add stuff.
I replaced the split rings with smaller ones and the connectors are tiny nubs so that if you take something off like a sak it doesn't interfere with its use.

Sounds maybe like Wenger's Keychain 61? Here's a similar one.

Standard key rings are a pain if you have items you occasionally/frequently want to remove.

For example, I like to just carry around a single car key most of the time, and don't want my flashlight, knife, and other car key rattling around in my pocket. With this style of key ring I can remove a single item in about a second.

The first thing I learned is there are things I'd like to carry with me all the time, and then there's the annoyance of encumbrance. All of these EDC videos on YouTube show some interesting products, but there's no way I could walk around with all the shit people carry on them all day.

I have found nothing better than the Troika for organizing keys, and things that can be carried on keyrings. Since my latest vehicle is push-to-start, I no longer have to concern myself too much with weight on my keyring the way I used to when I had to put it into the ignition. I am such a fan of these Troikas that I just give them out as gifts to everyone I know.

I realized that I don't have a lifestyle where I really need full-sized tools on an everyday carry basis. Accordingly, I just use a Leatherman Micra and a one-cell Fenix E01 flashlight. If I know I'm going out walking at night, I'll bring something larger, but my point here is the first thing I did was pare down what I carried to what I actually needed. Both are connected to the Troika with my keys, and easily detachable (that's what the Troika does best.)

This way, my front right pocket contains my keys, the Micra, and a Flashlight.

Secondly, I always wear an unbuttoned overshirt everywhere I go. This provides me breast pockets in which I carry a pen. So-called "tactical" pens are mocked, in large part because they are called "tactical" pens, which is hilarious. However, these have a variety of benefits:

• They are me-proof. Because they are made of durable metal, they won't get bent or explode on me. This is important.
  
  
• The one I use has a rape whistle and a firestarter (srsly) in it as well. I will likely never have use for either, but I get them "for free."
  
  One pocket contains the pen, and sometimes a penlight (which is as much "full sized" flashlight as I need.) The Streamlight Stylus Pro is simply the best flashlight I've ever owned:
  
  
• It is affordable.
  
  
• It is not "too much" flashlight. I used to carry a Fenix LD20 for walking at night, but, aside from its annoying features (the stupid strobe mode, for example), I found that in the event it moved across the window of a house, it would likely alarm the tenants. Super-powered flashlights have their uses and fans, but for walking at night where I live, it's overkill for me. If I was searching for something in the dark, I'd maybe bring something heavier. In addition, it doesn't fuck with my night vision the way one of the super bright ones does. Sometimes less is more. It's also more carryable and less fiddly.
  
  The Stylus Pro lives in my breast pocket next to the pen when I carry it, and it has one feature I love more than others: one mode, and one mode only. I never engage the strobe by mistake or anything like this. If I ever need to use it in combination with a firearm, I won't have to worry about activating the wrong mode. It has a single "proud" clicky at the back, and is just the shit. So much so I own 4 - one for the car, and a few in other rooms of the house.
  
  The other breast pocket carries my cell phone.
  
  Wallet is a Maxpedition Spartan, the best wallet I've ever owned, and the longest-lasting by orders of magnitude. That ALWAYS GOES IN THE BACK LEFT POCKET, because on the occasions I have a gun, that is carried on my right at about 4:30. As I am rountinely stopped and questioned by police just for walking at night, and asked to produce my ID, I don't want my hand going anywhere near my pistol (or exposing it by lifting up my shirt on that side).
  
  Lastly, sometimes (generally when hiking, because I need it to handle cactus spines - mainly cholla chunks), I carry an assisted opening blade clipped inside my left front pocket - a Benchmade Barrage, or my Kershaw Volt, which is ambidextrous.
  
  I have this fear of someone grabbing at my firearm, which is, when carried, always carried concealed. This frees up my right arm to fight off Mr. Grabbypants and secure the gun, and my left hand can go for the knife to make my point in a somewhat more strident manner, if necessary.
  
  All of this took years to work out.
  
  
  
  

Do yourself a favor and get a keyholder like [this http://www.amazon.com/Troika-Patent-Keyholder-Rings-KYR60MC/dp/B00009R4CM], each key has it's own tiny ring and a little nub. There are cheap ones at any hardware store or locksmith, they all take the same nubs, so you can get two or three if you've got a lot of keys and save the hubs for later. Then you only carry the keys you need that day, and nothing rubs on the bike.

I've used a Troika keyring for a few years now without issue. I like this setup on my keyring because it allows me to add and remove keys easily if I switch vehicles, (like from my truck to motorcycle) and detach key ring tools as I need them, (like my Gerber Dime).

Late to the party, but this bad boy gets carried on my belt every day and I've had no failures in over a year so far. Combo with some titanium split rings and you're good to go.

Troika keyholder

Kinda nerdy, but it lets you take rings on and off really easily. Useful for taking out keys that I won't need for the day and also when I go for a run.

$20, but trust me, if you've never used a detachable key ring you're in for a treat.
