It’s a physical near impossibility to carry several keys around without them being on a keychain. We all have three or four essential keys that we have to take around as it is. So, if they were all separate, how inconvenient would that be?
It’s terrible enough carrying keys as it is; what a crappy invention the key is. You would have thought someone would have come up with a more convenient way to secure valuable property than a key.
But, as we seem to be stuck with keys for the foreseeable future, at least there are many kinds of EDC peripherals that we can also use the keychain for.
Your keychain is one of the essential parts of your EDC, and a keychain design that’s lightweight and portable will take care of not only your keys but EDC products such as a tiny phone charger or one of those slick little multi-tools, a bottle opener, a flashlight just to mention a few.
But as crucial as a keychain might be for your convenience and your EDC gadgets, do you want to go searching through hundreds just to find the one you want.
Plus, there’s such a vast choice, from a funny keychain, an adorable one, a cute one, a geeky one, you name it, there’s a keychain for everything.
We’ve taken the hard work out of this by putting together a list of the best keychains available. Check out our list below; there’s something for everyone.

Best Keychain FAQ
What’s The Best Keychain?
We think the best keychain is the one that weighs the least. But it must still ooze class and style. We particularly like the traditional retro styling. If you put your keychain down on the bar, you want to impress. Don’t forget your EDC gadgets; there needs to be room for those.
If you prefer to keep your accessories classy and straightforward, then choose your keychain to match.
The keychain should still be high-quality materials such as stainless steel, carbon fiber, or zinc alloy. We also like to see genuine leather loops if it fits in with the keychain’s overall design.
What Do I Keep On My Keychain?
The name definitely gives it away; people buy keychains to keep their keys in one place, easily accessible. But some useful EDC products might come in handy sometimes. A miniature flashlight is always welcome, a removable pocket knife or a tiny cell phone charger, but there are dozens to choose.
