Tools and Hardware Reviews of Nite Ize SB1-2PK-01 Size-1 S-Biner, Black, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Small, works
Summary: 3 Stars
As other reviews inform, these things are tiny and the tension is not that great in the clips. I knew this before buying though.
I am using these specifically to strap down a sleeping bag. The previous vinyl straps had fallen apart so I rigged up a harness with some paracord and a couple of these clips. There's enough tension to hold the rig together even without the clips. The clips just make it a touch more secure. Though these work, you'd probably do better by going up to the next size clip as they are more functional and easier to manipulate.
Customer Review: Cheap and Functionable
Summary: 3 Stars
They are small and only rated for 5lbs, so don't expect to much from them. I bought two for a total of 6 (two 3 packs) and so far I have been able to put a couple to use. I actually rigged up a paracord lanyard for my Swiss Army knife and used one of these to attach to my belt loop just in case the knife would slip out of my pocket. So for small functions these can be useful.Customer Review: 2nd vote for "Cheap and Functional"
Summary: 3 Stars
The first guy who wrote "cheap and functional" pretty much summed it up. However, if you have more than say, five keys, or if you carry extra things like a flash drive, electronic entry card, Res-Q-Me, or other extra stuff... then you'll want to go one size larger (I wish I had). But the product itself works fine.Customer Review: Not reliable
Summary: 2 Stars
I am feeling pretty good right now. Why? Because I am about to save hundreds of people the misery of losing their keys, favorite pocket knife, flashlight, thumb drive, etc... I have owned and used both the size 1 and 2 "S-biner"s on my keychain and they consistently (I was going to be ironic and say 'reliably') release/drop whatever is attached to them. I carry my keys in my pocket and have repeatedly found, on the ground, my $50 LED flashlight, 8GB USB drive, house keys, etc. I kept switching what I used the S-biner to hold thinking that it must be good for something because it is so cool. I even switched from size 1 to size 2. Finally after having that sick feeling of finding something I needed or that has value or was brand new on the floor about to be left and lost forever I gave up on this product. I give two stars because these actually are very nice, just not useful outside the safety of your home.Customer Review: Nice when work but accidently come off too often
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a neat design & idea, but for something like your keys that you grab with your hands often, it's way to easy to accidently open it and disconnect your keys. I was losing half my keys once every two weeks just by grabbing them. I've gone back to the threaded oval chain connector like shown here (solid and won't accidently come off):
