McGizmo 26mm Titanium Clip

We have previously reviewed the stainless steel clips as a very useful piece of hardware to attach your EDC items to a keyring, lanyard, carabiner and others. A titanium clip was very welcomed as a premium item in the same line of clips.

The Ti clip is 26mm long, just 1mm longer than the SS "Micro" clip. It is built completely in titanium including the gate and the spring. The spring resistance is good enough to avoid accidental release but not hard to make it difficult to operate.

Being made in titanium the clips are very strong and very light, they will not corrode even if used in a marine environment and they are also diamagnetic so won't be attracted to magnets and will not magnetize.

If the size is good for you the quality of these clips is really excellent and will make your keychain perfect.

You can order for $8.50 from Lighthound.

Titanium Gate Snap

The titanium gate snap from Berkeley Point is a cross bewteen a clip and a carabiner. The gaye snap is large enough to be clipped to a belt loop, a backpack or a pouch, so it can be used as the end attachment point for your keychain.

The hole at the bottom can be used to thread paracord or chain, it can also be used for a large splitring, a smaller one might be hard to install since the width of the titanium borders can be problematic, we all know how painful tight splitrings can be sometimes.

Constructed from Titanium the gate snap will resist wear, corrosion, impacts and daily abuse. I found them practical for keychains and lanyards made with paracord as the end attachment for belt loops but there are a zillion possible usages.

There are two sizes: 1-15/16'' and 2-7/8'' that cost $22 and $36 respectively. You can find more information or order from Berkely Point.

Berkeley point clips

Clips are useful for several purposes, there are many variations and qualities and the ones produced by Berkeley Point offer a very good combination of quality, variety, availability and price.

The clips from BP come in 4 different sizes from larger to smaller: Mini clip, Micro Clip, Nano Clip, Pico Clip. The largest one: the Mini clip can be used to clip keychains or items to belt loops, the smallest one is really tiny and is good to attach small things to splitrings for easy removal. The price starts at $2.25 for the pico clip and goes up to $3.25 for the Mini clip.

Using them is a question of imagination, the most basic usage is to use a very small splitring to attach the clip to some item and then be able to clip the item to different objects, belt loops, splitrings, keychains, lanyards, neck chains, ball&chain, etc.

They are made of stainless steel and the quality is very high, you can order them and find more information in Berkeley's Point Website.
