Technology has come a long way, but one old school staple remains in everyone’s pocket: keys. They’re unavoidable, and most of us even have several keys and key fobs jingling around our keychain. We have keys for our home, car, office, parents’ house, mailbox and so on. And because keys are a necessary part of our everyday carry, a functional keyring or cool keychain is a great way to make use of that space in your pocket.

The best keychains range from simple keyholders to fully functional pocket knives that are sure to get you stopped by airport security. If you have a useful tool on your keychain (pocket knife, bottle opener, etc), then you probably won’t forget your keys when you leave the house because they’re attached to one of your most important EDC items.

If you want to join the army of men taking advantage of this handy pocket space, read on to find our favorite keychains for men. We rounded up 26 coolest keychains that provide a lot of utility beyond keeping all your keys in one place.

  

1. Victorinox Swiss Army Pocket Knife

BEST KEYCHAIN OVERALL

If you’ve never carried a pocket knife before, give it a shot; we promise you won’t go back. And even if you already have a plethora of knives, this best-selling Victorinox Swiss Army knife will still carve a spot in your pocket. At just 2.25 inches, you won’t notice its presence in your pocket or bag, but the knife, file, scissors, tweezers and toothpick included in the multi-tool will come in handy very often. Plus, as you probably already know, the Victorinox Swiss Army knife is really in a league of its own in terms of quality when it comes to multifunctional pocket knives.

Bottle opener keychains are for the guys who have their priorities straight: keys and beer. But even if you’re not popping cold ones every day, this covert Bar Buddyz bottle opener will come in handy at parties, picnics, beaches and even at home when you’re too lazy to dig around for the opener (it happens to the best of us). The bottle opener has a sleek design that fits smoothly against your leg, and it’s made of durable hard-anodized aluminum, so you’ll be able to throw around without worrying about it breaking.

3. Lancher Keychain

BEST QUICK RELEASE

Believe it or not, hanging your keychain from your belt loop has recently gone from dad move to skater style swerve.

We recommend this cool keychain from Lancher because it features a quick-release clip and comes highly recommended on Amazon as a #1 best-selling keychain. This is due to a premium build quality that not only feels sturdy in your hand, but also withstands drops and scrapes.

One step up from a belt loop keychain is a retractable keychain. Sure, it’s a bit dorky, but it’s super practical and cool keychain, which is ideal when choosing your EDC items. Retractable keychains have a cord system that keeps your keys on the chain and snaps them back in place on your hip when you’re not using them. If you work somewhere that requires constant key usage – or you just hate fumbling with keys at the door – try one of these. This one from Key-Bak comes very highly-rated with more than 1,800 reviews and 4.4 stars, as users say the high-quality locking mechanism works consistently without a hitch.

8. Tile Mate Key Finder

BEST KEY FINDER

We all lose our keys every now and then… maybe more than we’d like to admit.

If you can’t find your keys, just open the tile app on your phone and locate the device through GPS tracking and then listen for the Tile beep when you’re close. Plus, you can use the Tile itself to find a lost smartphone by clicking the button on the device. This will make your phone ring – even if it’s on silent.
