Review on πŸ”’ Nite Ize S-Biner MicroLock: Secure Locking Key Holder in Stainless-Steel - 2-Pack by John Holliday

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good idea, requires more quality control on the lock

Got a pack from the hardware store and then a pack here at Revain. You have to do a small operation if you don't want to lose your keys. The locking mechanism is not always tight. In the "closed" position I was able to press down on the metal and a small piece of my ring was able to pass through. I used general purpose pliers to compress the metal to make sure the plastic part of the lock wouldn't allow the metal to slide over it causing the top of the lock to pop open a bit. I tried to take a few photos but you may have to buy a few to find ones that fit perfectly without having to touch them up a bit. All in all, after squeezing it and filing down some of the pointy edges, they're holding up well now. But I can't give them good grades if I had to spend 20 minutes on the surgery. Now they are good and I can grab my key from my keychain to toss in the store or take the weight of my ignition off the items on my chain. It's fast and inexpensive - well worth my effort.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Almost never
