Snap On Screwdriver keychain

[Snapaholic]

Check out this snap on flyer from japan, they have snap on key rings made of screwdriver handles http://www.snapon.co.jp/campaign/YKW/0901/#8

I have a pearl white one, but would love to have one of those clear ones

 

[canuckian]

I've been looking for those for a while but can't find them anywhere. Where did you get your white one? I suppose I could make one out of a stubby but that flyer shows 2 sizes - would love to have the smaller sized one for my motorcycle.

if anyone has a line on them, I'm all ears!

My wifes cousins are engineers for two automobile manufactures. They goto Japan a few times a year. I slip them some $$$ & I have them bring me back some swag each trip. I always ask for as many as they can get of those SO key chain hard handles. They always come back with lots of other cool stuff!

*on the their next trip out there if you happen to get an extra snappy key chain, keep me in mind

I cant imagine it would be terribly difficult to run a self tapping eyelet through this:

Looks like I could make my own and mark it up double.

diesel research,
I don't think it is just a keychain...it's a key holder. It comes apart and the blade of your car key sticks out where the screwdriver shaft and tip would be.

You are correct it's more of a key cover if you will.

 

[Scout Driver]

Would it be possible to do a group-purchase on some of these??

What is the hex key for?

What is the hex key for?

probably to open it to put your key in.

[MalibuLX3]

I'd take an orange one.

 

[MalibuLX3]

How about these Snap On key chains. No where near as cool as the stubby hard handle ones though.

I had a few of those about 20 years ago, they come apart too easily, the ones that look like air hose fittings are better in my opinion, for what that is worth.

I am in for a group buy

 

[canuckian]

I'd be all over this for a group buy if anyone can find a supplier. A few orange ones...A few yellow ones.....a few........... yeah, I have too many keys.

I have a couple of the 1/4 socket type ones above and haven't had an issue with them. That'll probably change over time though.

 

[MalibuLX3]

I found a guy on another forum via google that was selling them a couple of years ago.

http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/141518-jdm-snap-screwdriver-key-chain.html

I don't know if he has any left, but it might be worth it to contact him and see who he bought them from.

One thing is, he claims he paid $30 each plus shipping. He was asking $55 shipped, and it seemed like a fair amount of them sold at that price.

Honestly, that would be more than I'm willing to pay, but if others would be interested at that price, it might be worth contacting the guy.

 

[cf2004]

they are cool and all, but idk if it's $55 cool

 

[ImportTuner]

they are cool and all, but idk if it's $55 cool

+1 .. I'm interested in a group buy, hopefully less that $55

Nice, but it wont work with a lot of modern car keys.

 

[Buck_nekid]

I want two (2) orange ones or any that can be had actually.
