    PopSci.com 5-Minute Project Video: Nut & Bolt Keychain

    By Posted on 1.5.2009 7 Comments

    Downsize your pocket cargo with a custom-fit keychain. Editor Sean Captain ditches the ring and uses more tool than necessary to trim a small bolt to just the right size for his set of keys. (For a slightly different take on the project, see the site that inspired us: carlitoscontraptions.blogspot.com).

    NOOB ALERT. Who holds a grinder like that. ALSO. What's with the countless craftsman plugs for one 5 minute video. It wouldn't have been so bad but the "where's my flat head screwdriver" routine put it over the edge. Pretty lame and cheesy. AND. If the editor had of done some research he would have known that it is better to add thin washers between the keys. In my case, I used small plastic washers. THE END.
