Scott Amron has designed the Carabiner Key, which is a product that most will agree is a real convenience.

Normally, carabiners are used to secure safety equipment and people during mountain climbing. Amron has cleverly taken the concept and has transformed it into a practical everyday item for everyone. The Carabiner Key is a simple clip that will attach itself to any chain without hassle. Think of all those times you didn't have nails and had to fit a key through the keyring; with this item, that problem is no more. The item comes in a standard form, which means you can bring it to the locksmith and have it cut according to your specifications.
