Key + Keyring Combo is Win

Now this makes total sense: combine a working key with a keyring, and you’ve got a key that can hold your other keys! The official name, “Split Ring Key” sounds so boring though, too technical. so let’s call it the Key Keyring!
Currently for sale at Amron Experimental at $7.00 for a pack of two blanks, the Key Keyring is designed to work with standard key cutters. It’s unclear though where Amron can ship to, and the least they can do is offer bundle discounts for large order quantities. How does $600 for a thousand pieces sound? No word on where this simple-yet-useful gadget is manufactured as well. Personally, I wonder how the new configuration affects key turning, since there’s less area for the fingers to apply pressure on.
Nevertheless, designer Scott Amron deserves kudos for this now-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that idea. He’s currently selling 30% of the patent as an “investment opportunity”. It’s interesting to see what improvements Amron will apply upon access to extra cash.
