So they decided to create a key holder that doesn’t, and that looks good to boot. The Swiss Army-like piece incorporates extension posts, brass screws, nylon spacers and nylon washers. Just hope you don’t join that 55 percent between now and May, when the Key Caddy is expected to ship. ~$30 Neon Mfg. Signs
