I've been using these for about a month, since the last drop. Here's my 2c: The idea is cool, and it works. I used to have a lanyard of keys that would clip on my belt. Having them contained in this metal screw is way nicer, and fits in my pocket great. I cannot complain here, it's an improvement.
There are definitely two main issues I have with this thing- 1. One key fits it. If your key isn't a flat key with a big enough hole, you need to start drilling or getting it replaced. Everyone does it and it works, but some keys won't work. I have a bike lock key thats an oval round shape, nobody can copy it. It makes the right side of my lanyard loop wobbly and a bit annoying. 2. The screws don't stay in. Sometimes you'll take this out of your pocket and one side is almost entirely unscrewed, and you'll screw it back in with your thumb. So it gets loose a lot (this is with the side using normal house keys, not with the bike lock). This means the keys just sorta turn out, rather than being stiff all the time.
Other notes: It looks really cool. It comes with a tiny hole thing that you can install and hook your key rings onto (like bigger bottle openers). The middle obviously bends inward a bit if you push in the center. The creator doesn't really have a decent "how to" slip or video on best pratices, what/how to use the plastic spacers, etc. There's a sorta crappy youtube vid if you search his page that helps, sorta. Also do NOT screw the screws in all the way too tight, they only go so far. Going any farther, you get them stuck. If you're going that far you need to shove more than 1 key on that side.
So it's cool, it works for me better than any other solution, but it's also a pain in the neck sometimes.

MintyAntLike the guy above, if you put super glue, or even smash the female screw it will lock in place exactly where you need it. This system is so customizable that I left it open to do whatever you need to do with it. I sell kits that come with spacers, washers, and extra screws for like $5.
Do you need me to make you an instructional video, I will! That's no problem. [img:fitpack.iqs.png]

Tactical_KeychainsWhat would the washer help with? If I smash or superglue it, won't that means i'm then unable to add new screws to the set?

MintyAntThe tiniest drop of super glue serves as a thread lock while the washers still allow the keys to swivel. A little force will break the glue and allow it to unscrew. Even better would be blue Loctite 242.
MintyAntYep Guvnor said it better than I could :) The glue is for inside of the screw post, washers on the outside :) They are spring washers aswell, and as far as I know, no other key holder has used this idea. Lucky for me :)
