good idea.

still have the metal 1

pop · 05 October 2006, 18:08

yer i like the metal as well, i might get one. would be cool if there was an inflatable one though as i always drop my keys in the water

.the cork balled ones take the whole bloody pocket up

would be a good idea to have an inflatable one mmmmmm.

Have you seen the hydrostatic key fobs that self-inflate in water (like a life jacket)?

Lymington Yacht haven were giving away really useful floating foam keyfobs last year - flat, unlike the awkward cork ball ones.

This one isn't hydrostatic, but it has a powder inside that dissolves/reacts to make it inflate.

I can't remember what weight of keys they will surface with.

It's kind of like a SCUBA divers SMB.

Delivery is expensive though :-(

Ive got one of those but its not very well made and fell apart. I stuck it back together with tape so I think the chances of it actually working if I dropped my keys in the water are quite low.

but the blue 1 looks crap and has nothing to do with ribs. the rib one is wicked, is there no inflatable rib keyrings?

i have looked on googel nothing is coming up.

I DID have a floating keyring on mine but it got ripped off the keys when I stuffed it on Sunday

My floating key fob is made out from the cork out of the champagne bottle the boat was named with, which I thought was a nice touch by the original owner

pop · 06 October 2006, 20:43

what a good idea, just the right size for normal pockets.

do the keys float though?

I think so, I am pretty sure I tried it in a bucket when I first got the boat but now you mention it I will check it again! There is only the ignition key which is tiny, a plastic battery isolator key and a small alloy carabiner so the whole lot is quite light. Keys for house and work stay in a safe place as you would need a small mooring buoy to keep that lot up!
