This carabiner has a separate, solid loop for your key ring. While that’s great for the security of your keys, it can be difficult to remove your keyring or add additional keyrings. You don’t have to store your keys on the solid loop, however. You can latch them onto the carabiner instead.
Black Diamond HotForge
Guys looking for a more rugged approach to carrying their keys will like the Black Diamond HotForge carabiner’s traditional styling and heavy-weight capacity.
AI01
Black Diamond uses a hot-forged process to allow them to remove material where it isn’t necessary and add it where it needs reinforcing. It also has a one-hand screw-lock to ensure it locks in place on your belt loop, bag, or anywhere else you can clip it.
The Black Diamond is a legit climbing carabiner, so it’s large compared to the EDC models on the list. It also weighs quite a bit more, tipping the scale at 50 grams.
Pros:
Traditional Climbing Carabiner
Screw-Lock Closure
Cons:
No Built-In Features
Larger and Heavier Than Standard EDC Carabiners
The benefit is that this carabiner is the weight capacity to get you out of a jam if you ever need it. The downside is the bulk that comes along with the capability.
HEROCLIP Carabiner Clip and Hook
The HEROCLIP Carabiner is a great choice for any guy looking for a convenient way to hang keys, bags, and other gear from almost anywhere. The medium-sized model can handle up to 60 pounds and measures 3 inches by 3.75 inches when closed.
The HEROCLIP has a unique design, with a built-in hook that allows you to hang it from almost anywhere while it hangs onto your gear securely. It also rotates 360 degrees as well. The hook has a rubber-coated tip to prevent scratching surfaces.
