Durable Quick-Release Keychains

This Spring-Loaded Carabiner Features Multiple Everyday Tools

— January 13, 2016 — Art & Design
The San Diego-based design firm 'Unsettle & Co.' recently launched a Kickstarter campaign for a spring-loaded carabiner that serves a number of different functions. While the idea of a multi-functional keychain is not exactly new, this device features a unique design that makes it handier than the average carabiner.

The 'Unclip Keychain' is a spring-loaded carabiner that is equipped with several everyday tools. The device features a bottle opener, package opener and keyring for handing everyday situations. However, what truly sets the Unclip Keychain apart is its unique design. The keychain features two spring-loaded, quick-release wings that allow the wearer to remove the device from their belt of backpack with a simple touch. As a result, users can easily access the tools they need without the hassle of fiddling with stubborn hooks or clasps.
