A custom keychain is the kind of thing that people don’t go out of their way to get. When it comes to what a person needs, a keychain typically isn’t at the top of their list. However, what people don’t understand is that a keychain does more than keep its keys. Here are a few reasons why you need to keep a keychain in your pocket:
#1 TO CONSOLIDATE YOUR KEYS
A custom keychain is designed to keep your keys together so that you don’t need to search the entire house. Imagine how hard it would be to search for a single key whenever you have to leave? Not only is this tedious, but also time-consuming. If you keep your keys in one keychain, you can easily find the key you currently need, and the keys you’ll need later in the day.
#2 TO KEEP YOUR CREDIT CARD SCRATCH-FREE
Your credit cards aren’t scratch-resistant, which is why you shouldn’t keep your keys in your front pocket wallet. Some people keep their keys in their wallets to save space, but what they don’t know is that their keys are scratching their cards with every move that they make. Instead, consolidate your EDC, including your car keys, house keys, and front pocket wallet on one keychain.
#3 TO CONSOLIDATE YOUR EDC
Do you often do a “pat down” to see if you’ve got everything you need as you leave the house? Instead of checking your pockets to find out if your phone, keys, and wallet are in there, why don’t you consolidate your EDC? By keeping your EDC on a keychain, you can make sure that you have everything you need. You don’t have to feel around your pocket to check if every single thing is there.
#4 TO KEEP YOUR WALLET SAFE
There’s always a risk of keeping your wallet in your pocket. Pickpockets are pros at spotting the chunky outline of your bulky bi-fold. To keep your wallet safe from pickpockets, clip it to your belt loop with a carabiner clip keychain. When a pickpocket tries to steal your wallet, it won’t be able to get away because it’s hooked to your belt.
#5 TO STAND OUT
People tend to add trinkets to their keychains to make them look more stylish. These decorations come in a wide range of designs, however, what ties them together is that they’re meant to show who the owner is. For instance, people that want to let people know (or to show off) where they’re working can attach an accessory with their company’s logo.
WHAT ACCESSORIES DO PEOPLE PUT ON THEIR KEYCHAINS?
When it comes to what you can do with your keychain, the list is endless. Here are a couple of bits and bobs you can attach to your keychain, so you can find what you’re looking for when you need it:
#1 KEYS
Your keychain can keep your keys together so you no longer need to fumble about. Obviously, your keys form part of your everyday carry, because how else would you be able to enter your house? Since keys are tiny, it would be best to attach them to something that you can easily spot, like a keychain. By keeping your keys on a keychain, you can find your keys fast, and make sure that you never leave your house without your keys.
#2 FLASHLIGHT
Keep a flashlight on your keyring – who knows when you’ll need it. A flashlight is the kind of thing that you don’t need every day, but you’ll be glad to have in the event of a blackout. Plus, in case you’re struggling to unlock the doorknob in the dark, you can count on your flashlight to “shed light” on the situation.
#3 MULTI-TOOL
Another item to add to your keychain is a multi-tool or pocket knife. A multi-tool, like a Swiss Army Knife, is an all-in-one tool that comes with attachments such as a screwdriver, awl, wire cutters, and more. Having a multi-tool on your keychain can be helpful if you ever find yourself in a sticky situation. You could also put a pocket knife on your keychain in case the situation calls for self-defense.
