I personally like it. For $9 it is worth a try. I am sure we have all spent $9 on something much less useful..
Startup: Key That Unlocks Nothing
Published Mar 20, 2014 04:00 AM
It's called a Quickey, but it unlocks no doors. Think that's crazy? Wait until you discover how people are going wild for it in its first few day since launch.
Quickey claims it will keep you secure by protecting your keys from damage. How and why is this product a crowdsourcing success, and has this silly product benefited from the best way to develop a new security product? We take a look in this note.

Love it! The ol' "You've been ripped-off worse before so what are you waiting for?" tactic...

Mar 20, 2014If there are already many, many keychain tools available that do the same thing for less money, it would appear (based on $200K in pledges) that people simply want their key ring tools to look like a key.
My indiegogo page for a key-shaped LED flashlight is going up immediately...

Mar 20, 2014Does it bother anyone else that this product already exists? Did no one at Quickkey google first?

Mar 20, 2014This article about a fake key tool has roughly 400% more reads than our original indepth analysis of a new, sweeping Access Control standard published yesterday.
This is why clowns are always crying on the inside.

Mar 21, 2014Maybe the ODSP people need to give out Quickeys to get people to notice them...

Mar 25, 2014I have been using this one for years. You can buy them at many hardware stores or office supply stores. While it has a knife blade, making it unsuitable for carry on air travel, it is a great 6-in-1 multitool.
