View Full Version : Another Quick release group buy
### List Closed! ###
I have had a few queries about more quick release keyrings so I'm offering to do another group buy if anyone is interested.
In case you don't know what I'm talking about it is these.....
http://www.keyosk.co.uk/images-products/pr-key-accessories-keymate.jpg
Details
Nickel Plated brass pull-part key release. Allows 2 lots of keys or other items to be carried independently of each other or connected together.
Comes complete with two 25mm (1") split rings.
Body Measures 39mm (1.5") in length excluding split rings or 79mm (3") including the split rings. The thickest part of the body is 9.5mm (0.38").
At the moment it looks like costs will work out after postage to the UK, paypal and the dreaded VAT at £6.00 for 5 (it is only really viable to do batches of 5 as postage and PP costs make smaller amounts not practical) although this price may change slightly depending on the final quantity we end up ordering.
So if you are interested please post interest (and quantities) and I'll get organizing. I'll contact those on the list once it is closed (after it has slowed to a stop with additions) with payment details etc.
The List!

What do you guys use these for in the bushcraft world?
all sorts! - they are just a neat and simple way to connect a 'safety line' to items of kit that is easy to connect / disconnect.
I even cunningly use one in making these ;)

Allegedly Asda do them for £1 in the cobblers section?!
I could do with some too if they come in at £6 for 5 still cheaper than having to pay to park the car!
D
Interesting - they certainly aren't in our local asda however the 'cobblers section' is on the side of an isle end :)
They won't be any more than £6.00 - if anything they could be cheaper as the initial postage will be shared between more the larger the buy gets;)

I like the look of these. How easy are they to separate? Is it possible to lose something like a SAK if it was swinging about or do they need a really good pull?
They need a really good pull mate! - in fact you have to depress the 'plunger' to separate the pieces, it is not simply a friction connection. Inside are 3? (don't have one with me at work to confirm) little ball bearings that fit in a groove. The more you pull it appart the tighter they force into the groove. When you depress the plunger it allows the balls to retract into the housing enabling the unit to separate.
I have just re-read that twice and I'm still not sure it makes sense but can't think of a better way to describe it! :o

I can second Graham's confusing explanation and would simplyfy it thus:
Q. How easy are they to separate?
A. On purpose - very easy, by accident - almost impossible.
Q. Is it possible to lose something like a SAK if it was swinging about?
A. I'd say no. I guess you could take a 500g weight on one end and swing it around with no trouble at all. Very secure.
I'd put my SAK on it without hesitation.

No, that's cool. I knew about the ball-bearings but imagined pulling them apart just forced them into their housings, like a cupboard door clip.
I think the GB here is from OneStopLocks, where I get lobster clips and splits. They also do a handy solid steel ring, perfect for threading these clips onto. I have 10 of these, 9 are spare. Free to anyone who wants them, one per person depending on demand.
I'll buy a couple of clips I think, saves complication, and see what I think. Good luck with the GB.

I'm curious about what you mean Nice65.. don't suppose you have a pic of the steel ring you mention?

I trsut it with my TK6!
Don't you remember seeing my Falkniven TK6 in kydex sheath + firesteel dangling on one of those at Horizons?
it works!
It would take huge force to brutalise it to the point it would separate-:)
I'd like 10 please. Chris
your on the list Chris! ;)
I'm curious about what you mean Nice65.. don't suppose you have a pic of the steel ring you mention?
I've got a pic for you but I don't want to post it here. I don't have selling priviledges so I will post a freebie. Basically a welded steel ring 1.2" outside diameter. I hook mini prybar, Spydie Bug, Gerber Clutch etc on it. There are 9 and they're free.

Thanks Nice65 - I think I get it now!
Very generous offer to give these away. I don't have a need for it so will pass but I'm sure someone will be grateful.
Apologies to Graham for having slightly distracted this thread away from the GB :)
That' OK Fil - a bumps a bump! ;)
Quick bump for you. 3 arrived this morning so I could see what they're all about. I'm seriously impressed with their strength so thanks for the heads up on them.

Hi all I know some people, myself included have been looking for these for some time. Well I was in the Arndale shopping mall in manchester this weekend and found a new shop called Clas Ohlson. Bit like ikes but more shiney stuff for men. They sell these for less than £2 and you can bye on line http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/Product/Product.aspx?id=135874967 enjoy
