What is a quick release keychain?

A quick release keychain is a two-part keychain that pulls apart and snaps back together, so you can detach part of your keys without taking everything off the ring.

What should you look for in a quick release keychain for car keys?

A pull-apart design you can use with one hand

Look for a keychain that separates with a simple pull and reconnects with a snap, so you can take off your car key while holding a bag, a phone or a coffee.

A swivel that stops tangling

A 360 degree anti-tangle swivel lets your keys rotate freely, so they do not twist or knot together in your pocket or bag.

Stainless steel key rings

Alien System's key rings are 304 stainless steel, chosen to stand up to daily use.

Two halves you can sort

Keep your car key on one half and your house, work and gym keys on the other. When you need only one set, you separate them in seconds.

Quick release keychain vs a standard key ring

A standard key ring makes you slide keys on and off one at a time, which is slow and can be hard on your fingernails. A pull-apart key ring separates into two halves with a simple tug, which makes it faster to add, remove or hand off keys.
