Any recs on a BIFL key chain? Those rings always get bent over time, looking for something sturdy. Might just be a flaw in the design because if you can bend it enough to get a key on, you can probably bend it out of shape over time.

    Do a search for “key holder multitool.” It gets rid of the whole concept of a “ring.”

    Downsides

    • You need to drill keys to get them on it.
    • Taking keys off it, removing keys, rearranging keys, is a pain.
    • Some models are not friendly to people with arthritis or other hand issues

    Upside:

    • lasts forever.
    • You can grab any alen wrench multitool and use the body of it so you don’t even need to buy anything. Typically this method can accommodate a dozen keys. Make sure you use the washers between the alen wrenches between the keys
    • Attach a carbineer and it hooks to your belt without you ever sounding like a janitor
    • Gives you a firm grip on any key in a lock.
