It’s ironic that while computers and electronics have made our lives easier in so many ways, it’s come at the price of having to carry around a seemingly endless array of cards, keyless entry thingummies and remote controls.  In addition to the conventional keys that you use to secure the doors to protect whatever you’re using all of the above for.

What I like about carabiners is that it makes it easy to clip things together securely while also being able to separate them just as quickly if needed.  Your car keys for example if you need to have your car serviced or cleaned. I also like the fact that I can clip a carabiner to the strap of a tote bag which prevents my bunch of keys from being lost in the depths of said bag.

Carabiners are also quite uniquely shaped which makes them easy to grab onto if you do happen to have to rummage for them in a bag or drawer.

I’ve got a carabiner attached to my work lanyard at the moment and while that’s not exactly groundbreaking, what I do need to find next it an ID card holder similar to the one in this picture.  I love those card slots on the reverse side.

Have you seen anything similar in your travels on the world wide web?

Do you use carabiners for non camping and adventure sport related purposes?
