Noopel Quick Release Keyring 1 Pack, Titanium Keyring Heavy Duty Pull Apart Detachable Key Organiser Mens Car Key Chain Clip with 2 Stainless Steel Key Rings

Impossible to pull apart with bare hands, unless you know how to (which is intuitive and easy to learn), very strong link. Recommended

On the face of it the 'Noopel Quick Release Keyring 1 Pack, Titanium Keyring Heavy Duty Pull Apart Detachable Key Organiser' is a nice little gadget - and I love gadgets.The mechanism to detach it is not as hard as some may make it out to be and is fairly easy to work out, and it is easy enough to do one handed as long as you have the body of the key ring (female part) attached to the key ring and the male part attached to whatever you would like to detach - then just pull back on the outer ring of the female part and the male part will detach straight away. And this appears to be the direct opposite of what the seller advertises - however I would rather have gravity backing me up with the ring than rely on a spring.What is curious to me is the description of EDC and the very curious shape of the male part which is sharpened to a barbed point which is not quite sharp enough to cut paper. It may be a glass breaker but I have no idea - your answers on a postcard etc.£12.99 is quite a price to pay for such a gadget - especially when there is no explanation for the sharpened spike. However if I saw something like this in a shop in fancy packaging at this price I may have bought it, but in a plastic bag - probably not.

I like the neat little mechanism that joins/separates the 2 rings. It really requires 2 hands to use it though can be separated one-handedly. Also impressed that it is so lightweight (link part 4.6g and whole thing, including stainless steel rings, just 10g) yet is stated to be capable of taking a 9kg strain.However, when the 2 parts are separated one has a sharp spike which could damage surfaces and possibly puncture skin if pressed on hard so you would have to warn someone if lending them keys attached to that part.The main negative point is the astonishingly high price at £13.99. I suspect that the sellers think the fact it is made of titanium alloy (most are over 90% titanium, pure titanium is less strong) may make people believe the price is justified, perhaps assuming that titanium is very expensive. The current price of titanium on 29/02/24 is £5.30/kg and titanium alloy averages about £11.20/kg so the metal in the 4.6g link would be worth about 5p!Overall, despite its sharp spike, I quite like this keyring device and was lucky to obtain it at no cost via Amazon Vine but there is absolutely no way I would buy it at £14 and cannot recommend.

Item: Noopel Quick Release KeyringCurrent price: £9.99The Noopel Quick Release Keyring arrives in a plastic bag with 2 loose steel rings.After attaching the steel rings to each end of the Keyring, you have to try to work out how to release the quick release mechanism - there are no instructions or notes included to explain - a problem if you were giving this item as a gift!It’s reassuring that no amount of pulling, rotating or otherwise manipulating the Keyring could persuade it to separate until the correct release action is performed.The product images on the Amazon page show how to release the mechanism and separate the 2 halves of the Keyring.One half, to stay on my car and house keys, is the ‘female’ portion, and this just looks like a smart, modern Keyring.The other ‘’male’ half is attached to my edc (every day carry) items because it constitutes an edc item itself - the male portion of the Keyring features a small ‘blade’ - not sharp enough to cut, but pointy enough to stab through packing tape and slice it, for scoring paper and card, for scratching markings into stones or wood, to use as an awl for positioning nails and screws, even for cleaning out under your nails or any other use you can think of for a small, hard, pointy piece of metal.The Keyring locks back together again cleanly and securely with a push.If this item came with a small diagram explaining the release notes, and possibly with a nice matchbox or something as packaging, it would be a very cool gift for £9.99.As it is, it’s a good functional item, well made and a nice addition to my collection.

The Noopel Quick Release Titanium Keyring is a paragon of strength and simplicity, boasting the durability that comes with high-quality titanium alloy, all while maintaining a featherlight presence in your pocket at a mere 10 grams. Its robust nature ensures it won’t succumb to the wear and tear of daily use, offering a sturdy home for your keys without the bulk typically associated with heavy-duty keychains. However, this product's user-friendliness may momentarily stumble, as it arrives devoid of instructions for its quick-release mechanism. This could leave recipients scratching their heads, though the solution is a mere internet search away, with clear demonstrations available online. Once mastered, the quick-release function is impressively secure, resisting unintended separation with commendable tenacity.The practical design requires two hands for a graceful disengagement, which might be a slight inconvenience for those who pride themselves on their one-handed dexterity. Yet, the keyring compensates for this with its impressive ability to support up to 9 kilograms of strain - a testament to the strength-to-weight ratio of the titanium alloy. The minimalist aesthetic is another plus, with the entire assembly, including the stainless-steel rings, weighing next to nothing. The major sticking point, however, is the price tag. At £9.99, one has to weigh the advantages of titanium's hypoallergenic and non-corrosive properties against the cost, questioning whether the investment is for the material's practical benefits or its perceived value. Nonetheless, for enthusiasts of EDC gear who value longevity and lightweight design, the Noopel keyring might well be worth the outlay.
