Multi-tools are super handy, so in an ironically cute twist someone has come up with a crab shaped one that doesn’t have any hands. The Crab Mate is a crustacean that can do it all. If by “all” you mean screw driver, hex wrench, pry bar, bottle opener, mini saw box cutter, paracord knotless tie device and key chain. Perhaps you could even use it to open up a real crab?
This handy and whimsical tool will come in either stainless steel or titanium with a polished finish. The little crab measures 2.9″ by 2.7″. It’s functional but cool enough looking that you’ll want to keep this little sea creature out on display. Available soon via Kickstarter.

Upwrite is a Stylus and a Stand (just not at the same time)
Combine two useful smartphone/tablet accessories into one with the Upwrite Universal Smartphone Stand & Stylus. This keychain has a rubber clamp to connect to the side of any tablet or phone, turning it into an instant stand. The rubber tip works great as a capacitive stylus (just not while you’re using it as a stand, obviously). It’s simple, functional, and handy. At just .8oz, it’s easy to take with you too.
Space Invaders Light-Up Keychain
Normally Space Invaders are not particularly helpful- in fact they seem hellbent on destroying everything in their (back and forth) paths. But this Space Invaders Light-Up Keychain is actually pretty helpful because his eyes light up. He could help you find your keyhole…then once you get inside blast you with an 8bit laser. Or maybe you can trust a Space Invader…I certainly wouldn’t.

FreeKey Keyring Makes Removing Keys Simple
Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner? Sure there’s plenty of solutions to hold your keys and have them removable but none that take up as little space and work as efficiently as the FreeKey Keyring. Just squeeze the FreeKey and it opens up the rings so you can add or remove keys easily. No more pinched fingernails or frustration
And it doesn’t take up any more space than a standard keyring. Made of stainless steel in the USA. If you add or remove keys or keychains frequently, this could be really handy.
Reusing RJ-45 Jacks and Plugs for a Key Rack
Here’s a smart idea to repurpose RJ-45 plugs and jacks. If you work in IT or have a collection of wires in your basement, you’ve probably seen the colorful RJ-45 plugs, typically used for ethernet connections. But as this Instructable shows us, it’s a simple matter of just cutting off the wires, looping the cable inside the rubber housing around a metal keychain and you’re done (basically). Of course you need the jacks to complete the wall-mount part of the key rack. I’m not sure how sturdy it will be as these cables are not usually plugged and unplugged so many times but I do like the color coordination and geeky reuse of possibly outdated cables.
