Fit essential Lowe’s tools on your keychain for quick access to screwdrivers, openers, and versatile mini-gadgets wherever you go.
Keychains can get weighed down with all sorts of stuff, from baubles and knick-knacks meant to express our quirky individuality (I have a tiny Starscream on mine!) to, well, even more keys. Tools and gadgets, though, can come in handy — provided you have the right one for a given situation.
Of course, keychain tools won’t alleviate the mass or pocket-pulling weight of a keyring. It’s a good idea to consider what you really need to carry around. Still, having one or two small doohickeys hanging out with your house or work keys isn’t a bad idea.
Below you’ll find a list of a few of our personal picks for keychain tools you can find at Lowe’s that might be worth a ponder, arranged from what we think would be more nuanced uses to the most universally helpful.Nite Ize Curvyman Cord Supervisor
Nite Ize’s $1.98 Curvyman Cord Supervisor is more useful than you might think. Sure, the most obvious function is to hold your wired earbuds while keeping the cord from tangling up in your pocket or bag. However, it’s not going to do much for wireless audio devices. But you can go beyond earbuds.
For example, if you plan to work in a coffee shop, it could be helpful to shorten your laptop’s charging cable to avoid potential trips or wall damage. Or if you’re traveling, it would be a simple and handy way to wrap up your smartphone’s charging cord — either while in transit or when you’re waiting between transfers and find a free charging spot.
Heck, it could even be a decent makeshift hair tie holder. Then you can keep multiple ties on your keychain and grab one from the collection when the occasion calls for it.OTR Storage Pod
Pockets, bags, and even pockets within bags are common ways to carry things like medication, money, and paperwork. However, something like OTR’s Storage Pod offers something more secure. Kind of.
It’s too compact to hold onto anything substantial, but a small water-resistant aluminum tube could be a very convenient and safe way to store a handful of very particular items.
