I’m a sucker for the small accessories and gadgets, especially when they’re made of machined aluminum. The KeySmart 2.0, a customizable multi-tool for your keys, is one of those accessories. KeySmart sandwiches up to 100 keys and a variety of accessories between two machined aluminum plates, eliminating clutter from your key chain.
Assembly
Assembly is simple, with only a penny or screwdriver required to adjust the connecting pins on the plates. Stainless steel hardware is included. The small parts, are, well, small, so some dexterity is required.
Small Parts
I only carry a couple of keys, so along with the USB drive and bottle opener (of course!), my setup only required a couple of pins and a few spacers between the plates. Semi nimble hands required for getting things into place.
Bottle Opener
No respectable key chain should be without a bottle opener! This one is a bit small, but it gets the job done.
Note: The bottle opener replaces the standard loop ring that ships with the KeySmart. I positioned my bottle opener in the middle of the stack, otherwise it was a bit more difficult to flip the bottle opener open with the quick connect attached.
Final Thoughts
The KeySmart 2.0 is a fun accessory. It’s well thought out, and made from high quality materials right here in the USA. Hell, it’s even available in titanium.
I only have one minor request. I like to clip my keys to a belt loop, so I should have added their pocket clip. But I’d like to see the option of a larger quick disconnect, with one end big enough for belt loops on jeans.
If you’re in a messy key chain situation, you’d definitely dig KeySmart. Starting at just $20, this is an inexpensive upgrade to something we use every day.
