0:26

0:34
the comments what you think about it and
0:36
uh if You' used this before and uh your
0:38
best pro tips but uh let's talk about
0:40
what the kit actually is what the
0:42
keyloop organizer is and uh I'm excited
0:45
to show you this because I think this is
0:46
really the strong feature that this
0:49
thing brings to the table and that is
0:51
magnets magnets magnets magnets um so
0:55
many magnets just endless magnets right
0:57
here um this is what's it is here's your
1:00
cover right here this is a a full
1:01
leather cover and on the inside I
1:04
actually like this about distal Union
1:06
they put these little sayings throughout
1:08
their gear um that are just kind of cool
1:11
that remind you of what you're carrying
1:13
around anyways uh this is a full leather
1:17
cover it comes with a ding and uh this
1:20
kit that you're going to get comes with
1:22
these key mods now this is the key mod
1:24
right here and uh it's got like your
1:26
magnets right there that interlock with
1:29
each other let me just show show you
1:30
this really quick yeah who doesn't love
1:33
that right and uh each one of your key
1:35
mods has a different color when you
1:36
order it this case can hold or this
1:39
cover rather can hold up to six key mods
1:42
and uh this would be your key mods it
1:44
comes with I think it's 3M tape and you
1:46
simply when you when you get these
1:48
you'll just have this obviously without
1:49
your key in it but you get it you pull
1:51
the tape backing off and you put your
1:53
key in there and I'll just show you
1:55
right here like your key you don't have
1:57
to let it set this one thing I tested
1:59
when I was putting together as I put
2:00
them in there give them a good tug like
2:03
right away they're locked in tight that
2:05
key is not going to go anywhere um and
2:07
so the cool thing about this is you can
2:09
fit so many different styles of keys in
2:11
there because it just tapes it on there
2:13
so those are the key mods I also got
2:15
with this one the accessories that you
2:17
can order this is their keymod Carabiner
2:20
I have another one but it's not with me
2:22
here and that is the key mod with a with
2:24
just a key ring Loop and so the nice
2:26
thing is is you can grab your if this is
2:29
your work well these are your work keys
2:31
you can keep them on there clip them to
2:33
wherever you need when it gets back you
2:35
can throw it back together this is
2:37
obviously the the great thing about this
2:39
kit is how quickly you can organize
2:43
reorganize your keys if you need to at
2:46
any given time it's really quick it does
2:49
come with the d-ring here so you can
2:51
attach your car fob or other accessories
2:53
that might not fit in here all right
2:55
well with that let's get into what I
2:57
like and what I don't like about the
2:59
t-loop kit from distal Union well one of
3:02
the first things that I like which
3:03
obviously um you can just tell just by
3:06
looking at this is that it gives you
3:08
options if I was to summarize this whole
3:11
thing in one word it would be options
3:12
options options because you can put a
3:16
new key in there take a new an old key
3:18
out you can hand this guy that key you
3:20
can put your work keys over here and
3:23
this this just provides so many options
3:26
whether you have short Keys long Keys
3:28
whatever I think it's 62 MIM is the
3:30
length of this guy or the the the the
3:33
length of a key that you can carry in it
3:35
but it just gives you so many options to
3:39
be able to move your keys around you
3:41
know I have the keys to like two
3:43
different buildings and then my personal
3:44
keys and work keys and uh this has
3:48
provided a lot of options for me to be
3:50
able to use and uh reorganize my keys it
3:54
also has the the d-ring right here that
3:56
allows you to attach things at the end
3:58
and so options options options yeah
4:00
you're not going to run out of options
4:01
when you're looking at this you can also
4:03
buy other um key mods from the from the
4:06
site to give you just more options and
4:07
swap keys out put them wherever the
4:10
other thing I like about it is um
4:12
magnets if you're into magnets mag locks
4:15
this is really cool I tested this out
4:17
you can you know if you go up to a a
4:19
surface like a a key holder on a wall
4:21
but it's not magnetic um you can
4:24
actually throw it on the screw in the
4:26
wall That's magnetic and it will hold on
4:28
that screw and not budge at all the
4:30
magnets are really good in this and so I
4:32
like that you can just swap everything
4:35
around without even a thought you can
4:38
take keys out and uh they fold back
4:41
together so those are definitely some
4:43
things about this product that I like is
4:45
um you can store it anywhere um anytime
4:48
that's on a magnetic surface you can
4:50
take it apart and put it back together
4:52
so it's going to give you lots of
4:53
options like that and uh honestly that's
4:55
kind of fun all right guys well let's
4:57
talk about what I don't like about this
4:59
kit I love the options love the leather
5:01
love the fast swapping you get with that
5:04
and I love this and I'm looking forward
5:06
to maybe purchasing this or trying it um
5:08
is the ferrah system so this whole kind
5:10
of Kit from the company goes with what
5:12
they call the ferris system so if you
5:14
have like their Folly sunglasses um they
5:17
all come with these magnets and uh the
5:19
ferris system is a organizer mounts on
5:21
the wall you can store your phone your
5:23
sunglasses your keys your wallet it's
5:26
all magnetic it's held right there it
5:28
looks really impressive but uh so this
5:30
is meant to go with that but here's one
5:32
thing that I don't like about this and
5:35
I'll start with this the overall length
5:37
um because you you have you have a bit
5:40
of a gap right here I do have shorter
5:42
keys I don't have longer Keys um
5:44
currently for this so I've got a bit of
5:46
extra space right there um and I'd love
5:49
that for that to be a little bit shorter
5:50
especially since when you get your key
5:53
you know you're not mounting your key
5:55
right up here where a normal like screw
5:57
or uh stud would be that you put it over
5:59
you actually put it on the key mod which
6:02
extends the length of every key that you
6:04
have by that far um and so it's it's
6:08
naturally got you know it's going to be
6:10
longer than other ones because of that
6:12
and uh so that's a little bit of
6:15
something that I don't like the the
6:16
other thing that I don't like is this
6:19
right here if I hold it see that um now
6:22
it's magnetic it's really cool it it's
6:24
almost like a switchblade for keys right
6:25
it just like comes out you can pick
6:27
which key you have so if you're going to
6:29
do that that's really cool but what I
6:30
found is when it's in your truck if you
6:32
if you've uh if it's in your ignition
6:35
that's going to fall out and uh that's
6:37
going to kind of happen so you'll see
6:39
that now again the magnets are the the
6:41
great feature that make this what it is
6:43
and gives you the options but you're
6:44
also going to have to deal with that not
6:46
a huge issue but it is a little bit of
6:48
an annoyance sometimes other than when
6:50
you really want those keys out there to
6:51
see them that's really nice you don't
6:53
have to struggle to get them out the
6:55
last thing I'll say that I don't like
6:56
about this one is this loose d-ring
6:58
right here there's two things about it
7:00
that um I think could be improved upon
7:03
I'll just say that and that is the
7:05
distance right here I think this is 2 or
7:07
three millim I'd love an extra 2 or 3 mm
7:10
of space from here because um when
7:13
you're attaching other keys and and
7:16
items to this it's just too thin um to
7:20
actually get stuff on there and also if
7:21
you look at this as I as I take this off
7:24
because of this the the closing
7:26
mechanism the the nut here is it's kind
7:29
of kind of hard to pass over that it
7:32
kind of catches on that magnet not a
7:34
huge deal right like not a big deal but
7:36
then also when it's closed is this just
7:38
free floats that's free floating in
7:40
there and um it's just like not a big
7:43
deal but it's I did find it a little bit
7:44
annoying I'd love for it to just simply
7:47
um be sort of locked in place there and
7:49
then a little more of a gap to fit stuff
7:51
on there but uh let's talk about who
7:54
should buy this and who should not buy
7:56
it I think who should not buy this is
7:59
any body that's going to want their keys
8:01
like locked into place um if you do like
8:04
whip this around these will kind of yard
8:06
sale out there um kind of like that you
8:09
know what I mean so if they get tossed
8:10
or you're throwing your keys around um
8:12
they hold really well for magnets but um
8:15
if you want something that's going to be
8:16
locked in place and not move unless you
8:19
pull it out this is not your guy there
8:21
might be some other options out there
8:23
for you that you might want to check out
8:25
um I'll say this is for the person who
8:28
wants options like you got a lot of
8:30
different Keys a lot of different styles
8:32
and you don't really care that this is
8:34
loose you want you want to be able to
8:35
see where it's at instantly this is
8:37
definitely your go-to also if you're you
8:40
know if you're into distal Union's whole
8:41
Ferris kit you got their sunglasses
8:43
their wallet that kind of stuff this is
8:45
a great combin this is a great like
8:47
ecosystem of gear and tools that is
8:50
going to help you quite a bit
