Carrying a Draco on your keys!

[Yota]

Who's carrying a Aluminum or Titanium Draco on there keys, and how is it holding up? Pics would be great. Thanks

Well, I haven't really taken a close look at it, but at a glance, it looks as good as ever!

I like mine too much to be assigned to my keyring. I consider a light on my keyring as a last resort back-up...so my Draco has been riding in my coin-pocket since the day I got it

I carry mine on a neck chain and use it every night at work. I gets knocked against handcuff keys and my pen and has not shown any signs of wear yet. Until I recently upgraded to the XRE (chrome) version I had been using the original for about 8 months without a single visible scratch. One tough little light with an incredible amount of utility. Bright enough to search an unlocked business at 3:00AM or dim enough to write a report in a blacked out car. I love my Draco !!!

Thanks for all the replies!

here is what I found in the craft section of Wal-Fart(hate to promote them). Only $1.87 for 4 yrds each color and it is made in the USA. great semi-disposable, cheap, comfortable way to wear the draco around the neck. also no chance of damaging the finish with a split ring, etc. I am really getting used to having this amazing light so handy.

Pumaman,

Thanks for the idea. I think I'm going to try that, along with a split ring for my Orb Raw Ns. The lanyard hole on the Ns is probably too small for that cord without using a split ring.

pumaman,
Sounds like a great idea!

 

[dig-it]

Anyone found a place to get plastic split rings? That would not be as strong as metal, but still more than suffice for the weight of the Draco. :candle:

 

[jlomein]

dig-it,

That sounds like an awesome idea as well. Plastic split rings should be less likely to scratch the chrome finish of the Draco.

Unfortunately I have not seen any, although I have never specifically gone out shopping for them.

 

[riffraff]

You could always use fishing line. Not as convenient as a split ring, but easy on the finish.

Cool stuff!

FWIW, here's my AlTiN Draco on January 31st:

Fast forward through biking in Chicago every day, getting dropped (a lot) on the concrete, in the salty dirty snow, getting kicked around in my pockets, in my bag, and just getting used a whole lot.

So, here it is about 20 minutes ago on my desk:

Sorry about the fingerprints - a quick cubicle shot while no one's looking!

I'm not going to put my TiCN Draco on my keyring. I don't want my keys to get all scratched up.
