How to Turn Your Key Organizer into a Custom Multi Tool

[@JeremySiers]

Well...now I want a Swiss-bar..? Key-army?? I want one of those whatever the name should be. Thanks Taylor for once again helping me spend my money😉. Awesome job brother. Really cool idea 👍🏻

[@BestDamnEDC]

What about KeyBarmy? 😂🤘

[@JeremySiers]

Best Damn EDC 😂perfect !

[@albertawind]

Brilliant! I like the idea of scavenging stuff from old knives and multi-tools and then simply adding them to the Keybar. If they don't fit properly a guy can easily modify them and make them fit. Thanks for the video and you have a new subscriber.

[@exploringwithoz]

I think you just changed the game my man, good job

[@watchncarry9593]

The great thing about keybar systems, like this, is that you can tailor them to your needs: bladeless option for travel, blade option for daily or outdoors, etc. Users need to understand that the purpose of these is system is not practicality, it's convenience and weight-saving.

[@GAMEGOD202]

Freaking love this idea I can build my dream EDC multi tool with out having 3 knives and a saw in it and put what I want in it and not a bunch of useless things that I will never need or would prefer a larger variant of (I just wish to belt cutter from klecker had a oxygen wrench and window break tool)

[@derpyderp6719]

There is a product specifically made to do exactly this. Except much, much cheaper. It may not look the purtiest, and doesn't have two sides to put tools on, but it's called the Keyport Pivot. It not only has its own proprietary tools, but it's own proprietary quick switch "scales" with functional ones like a flashlight, and pocketclip. You can, of course, buy other brands of tools made for things like it, or slim tools with similar sized holes.

[@lancewatson2839]

I love this concept! I have a couple of SAK’s and the Leatherman t4 but I really just want a knife, scissors, inline Phillips and flat head with possibly a package opener. I can build a Keysmart multitool with all of that and it will be fairly slim with a deep carry clip

[@michaelduncan2221]

Million dollar idea. Congratulations!

[@UncleDank]

I’ve had the KB Flipper linerlock knife from San Diego Knives in my keybarfor ages

[@hvskyline1368]

I use a titanium keybar with attachments paired with a orbit key ring and a keybar maglock attached to a TILE and a mini leatherman

[@watchncarry9593]

Love the idea. Modularity allows for a ton of creativity and practicality. Ive been drilling Leatherman tools to fit in my QuietCarry Q2 keybar and love it, but it's a chore to drill and fit. Your's seems to fit the bill in a a more consumer-friendly package. Keep it up

[@Andrew-it7fb]

I've been debating between the quietcarry, or a keybar. The quietcarry looks a lot smaller but I love the functionality of the keybar.

[@watchncarry9593]

@@Andrew-it7fb ive used both, and have also used the keysmart. I prefer the quietcarry. All 3 of them are quality made, but the quiet carry has a blocky shape which i prefer, since this covers your keys and tools better than the shape of the Keybar or Keysmart. Quietcarry has limited tool options you can add to it, but it isnt too difficult to buy a used Leatherman Micra on ebay, disassemble it, and install those tools onto the Quietcarry (the holes on Leatherman tools fit perfectly into the posts of the quietcarry).

[@Andrew-it7fb]

@@watchncarry9593 yeah, covering the keys and tools better is one of the reasons I was considering the Q2. I have to wear dress pants for work and I was worried about them getting damaged from tools in the keybar.

[@watchncarry9593]

@@Andrew-it7fb yeah, good point on the dress pants. I actually just reviewed the Q2 and showed my custom setup for it. The video is loading now, but I can send you the link later.

[@Andrew-it7fb]

@@watchncarry9593 cool. I'd love to check it out.

[@dbeanmail]

Reminds me of some of your old DIY vids! Nice 👌

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Those scales and clip are very well done! A bit too brickyard in thickness for me though. I've never been much of a multi tool user- too many times slipping off a screwhead and closing the tool on a finger with the torque you need to apply to the tiny tool. I work with full sized hand tools in a leather belt pouch for my trade and use those. I carry a pimped out ZT 560 and keep nail clippers and a proper nail file in the truck.😃 Diggin your channel Taylor. Enjoyed the pen upgrade video very much. I'm anodizing ti now and learning a bunch. Been a full tang maker for close to 30 years and appreciate the stuff you bring to the table.

[@mikejulien2330]

For cheaper option, a pair of Chicago screws is $1.20 or less, a few cents in washers and a small piece of what ever material you want for the scales and you can make your own, then just paying for attachments. If you can drill a hole and maybe use a small saw and sand paper, you can save yourself $50+ in a few short minutes.

[@ryanlavallee6342]

I actually just backed the swissqlip on indiegogo and cant wait for that. it uses the keychain hole to attach so on and off whenever you want plus does not block the toothpick and tweezers option. they also just updated to a deep carry design as well. personally I have a fieldmaster with g10 scales that I will be adding the matte black clip to and it will be perfect to carry

[@rafaelreig8246]

And for a real blade you can add a S35VN KB Flipper designed by Ferrum Forge or a D2 Dagger Blade for KeyBar. I have 3 KeyBars with those blades. They are awesome

[@y0giib34r]

American only? I can't find them in Canada.

[@rafaelreig8246]

y0giib34r The KeyBar? Or the Blades? The KB Flipper seems to be sold out. Sorry. Daggerr knives come from Russia. Check their website

[@y0giib34r]

@@rafaelreig8246 I ordered a keybar yesterday with some tool inserts, I can't find that flipper anywhere in Canadian websites. I'll check that site.

[@machendachen]

And I thought I had too much in my keybar! Those custom vixtorinox multi's sure are nice though! That's a family jewel your kids would love to have one day!! 😉

[@adamg4754]

I see you flexing with that Lynch Prybar 👀 3:43

[@MuriCDM]

Love your videos Danm. Greetings from Brazil. Send a "Oi tudo Bem? " to your Brazilian fans.

[@WyzrdCat]

The thing about the Keybar is you can still carry a Leatherman or what have you, and then just whatever those one or two tools you wish it had, you can add them and also store your keys in a lot less space than just the keys usually take.

[@rafaelestrada3042]

Where did you get the interchangeable bit screw driver?

[@franciscojaviertrujillo813]

Can you tell me where I buy the hand that you have behind with the knife? thank you I wish one for myself

[@Mr_T_1986]

Ok maybe not the most cost effective but I like your idea. I've never got into the multi tool game can't explain why but I do like this idea, might piece one together.

[@lacedpxrp]

what kind of keybar is that type? love the design

[@normwilson117]

Interesting, but how do you carry your keys now?

[@billy4643]

Hey BestDamnEDC! What slayer keybar color is this ? Sandblasted? Looks darker than the one on their website which looks light grey thanks

[@enriqueleon6493]

Where can i get those custom swiss army knives?

[@goodkaufman2112]

i love the idea of making your own multi tool ! but maybe you guys can make so when you order your tools and keybar, it comes already set and ready and if you want to change or add tools there will be instuction sheet that will help re do it as it came originaly or how to add new tools that will be set well. thank you

[@Photosbydrew]

Why not the brass key bar Taylor?

[@MethodOverRide]

How stable are the tools if there isn't anything on the back to keep the tools straight?

[@BestDamnEDC]

Some of them, like the screwdrivers and utility knives have stops. So they're fine. I've not had any issue with the others due to the way their held when in use.

[@utooberrookie]

I have a Keysmart, could I do this?

[@BestDamnEDC]

Yep! Some of the KeySmart tools won't fit the KeyBar, since it's shorter. But KeyBar tools should fit a KeySmart. They'll just hang out of the sides of the scales a bit more than they would on a KeyBar.

[@Ian.stearns]

@@BestDamnEDC I was just about to ask this same question. I always wondered if the KeyBar tools would work on a KeySmart as I just got a Pro about a month ago. I'm always looking to find a way to have a single object have multiple uses and this would work very well. I have a few custom SAKs and you are correct, the lead times can be very long and due to the pin construction you are stuck with it once it is built; with your idea you can change it up as you need it! Thank you for sharing with the communit!

[@jadelee2501]

Durability on corrosion/rusting?

#SAK ALL DAY, SON!!! Funny enough though I carry a keysmart with bit tool and ninja flashlight.

[@88prezza]

Hey Taylor, looking to complete my edc carry with a Swiss Army knife. However always want to pimp it out, any recommendations on where to get some cool scales??

[@murph9464]

I like this idea! If they could figure out how to put scissors in this thing, then it’s a total winner.

[@prod.deathwish]

Gonna buy a aluminum one with the nail file and tweezers

[@bcmandel]

I was looking around the keybar website and was thinking about this kind of setup to replace my swiss classic that got taken by the tsa, but my biggest use on mine is the scissors and the toothpick. The toothpick on the keybar isn't flexible so getting to my back teeth would be hard. I do carry a leatherman ps4 so I could loose my scissors and be okay.

[@knoptop]

BRB, I gotta DIY an EDC ASAP

[@jaysrz7025]

Best thing i saw on the internet. And you sir deserve more subs.

[@dmmflys]

I've been looking everywhere for a keybar review of the "quick key tab" and the "utility blade" could you please do a video on those PLEASE!!!!

[@frankieb9367]

I just recently got the tweezers, but the ones you have look like they would function much better than mine. The cutback on the inside gets wider and goes further back. Mine are almost too stiff to use and I’m going to have to mod them. Do you know if you have a specific version (1.0,2.0,etc)?

[@MokuNui808]

Maybe a version 2 of this idea but making it tsa friendly?

[@KashmereFuzz76]

I think it’s brilliant! 👍🏼

[@paully4980]

I will look it up but do you know off hand if they sell a micro screwdriver insert that would work for glasses screws? If so that would be awesome and I would go buy one just for that alone. Thanks and keep up the awesome work you are doing.

[@BestDamnEDC]

No but I wish!

[@imaginehydreigons5377]

yo ferrum forge has a flipper knife insert for keybar, look into that.

[@PartNinja]

This isn't really new. My issue is the keybar is way bigger and more expensive than a SAK. And depending on your base keybar and tools you're not too far off from a custom SAK that can probably fit more tools in a thinner space for the same price. There's guys out there still.

[@BestDamnEDC]

There definitely are. And the concept isn't new. But I still get a ton of questions about this or comments from people surprised that there are tools for key organizers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@NiteRyder0376]

Trying to do the same thing but with keysmart and klecker stowaway tools

[@michaelnieter990]

I got one that is cheaper and more practical. So I used to carry a keybar but decided it was just too big for me so i switched to the trayvax link recently. Any way this left an empty keybar which I wanted to use for something so I decided to put klecker stowaway tools in it. I currently have 8 in it. The total cost for mine is less than $100. It is awesome. Same concept, but much cheaper price.

[@dorkknight413]

Great idea

the problem with that Key Bar will tools YOU DONT HAVE A OPEN STOP ON IT when you open it the tools go past the end normal multitool or pen knife stops at the open

Wish they made them thinner

keybar accessories are TOO DAM EXPENSIVE

[@l.nassah6728]

That's is a guy who does custom SAK, he did TX Tool Crib's custom SAK too. His channels name is Fit to Survive. f2scustoms.com is his website. He also adds a Spyderco knife too among other things.

[@briarboy8959]

I guess the key are smokers tools are no longer made?

[@ravendon]

Interesting idea, but not practical or very useful. Why go through all that expense when you can just pick up a Victorinox or Leatherman Sidekick? It will be lighter, higher quality and longer and more useful, time tested tools.

[@mmummblzz6019]

What inserts were your idea? Or are you saying keybar offered these tools and never thought to put them all together lol? I thought that was the intended purpose.

[@jonathannorton550]

Video and voice aren't super synced up

[@reecevince2166]

Just think much more money Victorianox would make if they did custom stuff

[@WhiteLBZ]

I carry a multitool everyday. There's no way in hell Im paying even close to $250+ and waiting 6 months. I'll keep carrying my Norseman and shirogorov and Leatherman free. In 6 months I could get another high end knife lol. I'm not patient.

[@winchesterinc.5643]

This makes me angry and kind of want one, and when I start to, get angry again. Anywho, Massdrop had a KB FLIPPER FOR KEYBAR (DESIGNED BY FERRUM FORGE). Yes, I copied and pasted that. It looked like a mini FF Gent or Crux, which didn’t make me angry because I thought it was adorable.

[@CXonthefly]

It's not really that difficult you just have to have a little bit of tools Dremel 3000 Vise hammer acid scales screws Swiss Army knife and your set you can do all of that you can make that complete custom titanium Swiss army knife you just have to find titanium scales and put it together

[@gunfun7772]

yo that utility knive costs fucking €50 if I want to get it

[@korgan7779]

very great idea but its hard to give up a good SAK. If you cant or wont do your own custom i recommend instagram.com/robertjlessard/. he's even going to the extent of redesigning and remaking discontinued models.

Waaayyyyy too expensive for non lockable cheap looking fake multitool... the concept is really good but... fit and finish(the space between each tools) looks like a dollar store type of multitool... guess my Leathermans and SAKs makes my opinion biased....
