2.0 out of 5 stars One Glaring Defect, May 18, 2008

The S-biner is a great concept, but the springs holding the clamps in place are far too weak. Key rings, car fobs and my Fisher space pen have all fallen off and been lost at some point using this keyring.

Until they can improve the quality of the springs to make them less prone to opening in your pocket, stay away.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, flawed implementation., June 24, 2008

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

I have long been a big fan of carabiner-style keychains, except for one thing: I didn't like having my keys looped onto the same section that was designed to open and close several times a day to be looped onto a bag, belt loop, etc. Therefore, when I saw these in my local Harbor Freight, I was very excited. It seemed like the best of both worlds: I would have one section of the 'biner that my keys would attach to, and another that I would use to attach to my belt or bag or whatever.

Unfortunately, this worked better in theory. As the other reviewer has noted, the springs on the s-biners are very lightweight, making it exceedingly easy (if not, in fact, inevitable) for the 'biner to come open, dumping your keys (or whatever else) off the device. Presumably, if you're going through the trouble to attach something to your person, this is not the outcome you are looking for.

Admittedly, these do have other uses, for things like camping and tying down loads in trucks and the like. However, if you're looking to use the S-Biner (in any size; I have at least 3 different sizes, and they all suffer from the same flaw), I would recommend looking elsewhere.

This review is from: Nite Ize SB3-03-11 Size-3 S-Biner, Stainless (Tools & Home Improvement)

I haven't used the #3 S-biner yet, but I got several sizes and I know I will be using this one before summer is over. My smaller ones have come in quite handy for attaching key rings together when I'm carrying more than one. I drive a Jeep and I'm always looking for a way to keep stuff close at hand when the top is off. A couple of mesh bags and some S-biners have taken care of my problem.
