I was hopeful when I saw this product "on line". I ordered it, and the little ball that is used to screw on and close the horseshoe key ring, came off. I returned it, and the same thing happened. Don't waste your money.

I purchased this item for my husbands birthday. I looked all over for a decent quality horse shoe key ring. This one is great! Good size to carry in a pocket and quality metal. The only issue is the threaded ball does not stay tight. But this has happened to all the horse shoe key rings he has owned. He added a little Lock-tite and it works great.

You can find other key rings similar to this one, but they are considerably more expensive and are not any better in quality. This is a great deal for the price.

I've used this style keychain for years. There's a reason it's a classic: it's beautiful, very classy, and for whatever reason, it just hangs right and looks great.
For those of you who have lost the screw-on ball end on these:
You absolutely MUST use a small bit of Loctite, superglue or even a dab of clear nail polish to keep the ball from coming off. When you need to remove it to add/remove keys, use a pliers (pad it so you don't scratch your keychain) to remove the ball and remember to add a tiny dab of glue on the threads when you replace the ball. It won't come off when you do this.

Blame me for thinking this looked like something Thomas Crowne would have his keys on, I should have known you get what you pay for. Not solid at all it bean to tarnish after one week of use and the metal is very soft, it bends under the slightest of pressure and will never really retain the pictured design. After two weeks it was tossed in the trash, lesson learned.

I first saw this when it was paired with a LaCiE flash memory device shaped like a key. While relatively uninterested in that product, this one struck me as a pleasant alternative to jamming my fingernails into key rings. It doesn't seem flimsy, though I do have slight concerns about the ball that screws in on the end.

Nothing special, just the same sorts of concerns that a person with a tongue piercing would have about the opposite end of their bar being swallowed, dropped down a drain, etc. It serves its purpose and cheers me with its visually pleasing form.

EDIT: The stupid ball came off. I'm unhappy.
EDIT in my EDIT: They replaced the ball. I'm happy again.

It is very nice, but the little ball screws off too easily. It kept coming off, kept coming off, until finally, we couldn't find it. It isn't the product - but the style that I have a problem with.

This is an elegant, strong, simple keyring. Its beautifully made and arrived quickly. I am very happy with this purchase.

I've used a keyk ring like this for 40 years and have lost and replaced two. This replacement was equal to the ones I've used before and is a very attractive, nice key ring. If I lose it (let's hope not) I would replace it again.
