Review on Lucky Line Keychain Nickel Plated 70701 by Ankur Songz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works but sometimes doesn't latch securely without making an effort to ensure it does.

A bit awkward to handle. The sleeve continues to rotate around the ring, away from the piston, as you try to push it into the sleeve. Works properly IF you can visually verify that the piston half is COMPLETELY in the bushing half. The mere feeling that it has stopped is often not enough; The detent balls will remain lodged and not press into the plunger body allowing the plunger to be fully seated and the detent balls line up with the internal groove where they should fit, holding half of the plunger in place. inner half of the sleeve. Simply put, the piston half doesn't always fit completely into the hub half and therefore won't snap into place when you let go of the piston and the splines fall off. Lubricating the piston and balls fixed this, but after a few days the keys started sticking/falling out again. , or just that particular manufacturer, or maybe just that particular keychain. Based on my experience with it, I probably won't buy another one without being able to try it out for a few lock/release cycles to see if it works smoothly.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Annoying
