I chucked some money in - halfheartedly as I didn't think it would hit target

Turns out it did - so that's my entry to this thread secured then!

I've got both, got in when they were on Kickstarter or some such, good product and really useful, just took an age to arrive from the US.
That is very cool, but they would lead to an Iphone5 as well and then it starts getting stupid. hehe

Weirdly just had an email off them:

Hey guys,

I'm not supposed to do this, but I'm sending my employee discount to some people whose orders I remember shipping. It's $15 off (that's more than 50% off a cable, which is epic, I know, and there's even free shipping when you order two). The code is empl_disc and you just enter it at checkout at www.hellonomad.com.

Struggling to see the attraction tbh - at first I thought the keyring itself actually held a charge which would have been somewhat useful in an emergency... but its just a stupid overpriced gimmick of a cable...

Orbit Key has just arrived, when I say arrived I had to drive to the Post Office 20 mins away to pay VAT and the Royal Mail handling charge of £11.24 before they'd release it, making it quite an expensive purchase.

I also have to get one of my keys re-cut or get the drill out to make it fit, typical

A Qualcast two stroke petrol powered strimmer, reduced from £100 to £80 at Homebase.

My garden is not that huge, I could have bought a cabled one for £50 .... but as this one has a petrol engine, there was really no choice.

It's a bit ott for the job, and a bit noisy ... used it once since bought.

How does it work with the mortice lock key? I assumed it would only work with tumbler keys.

It doesn't is the answer, it fouls the other keys so have removed it.

You could try putting washers either side of the key, so it sits flush, and the other keys are raised out of the way of it a bit.
