Key-Bar

That’s when I knew I had to STOP THE NOISE!® And that was the day I came up with the idea for KeyBar®. As someone who carried a multi-tool daily and lots of stuff in my pockets, I knew there needed to be a pocket clip, and it needed to hold some tools, too.

“EACH KEY COULD BE LIKE A TOOL IN A MULTI-TOOL”
It took plenty of trial and error. I tried all kinds of different designs and eventually settled on the KeyBar® shape. The biggest challenge was how to fit a bunch of keys into a single KeyBar®. I knew if the keys could stack on each other, I could make it work. It did!

So, I started selling early KeyBars to friends and friends of friends. I soon found that there were plenty of guys out there like me who couldn’t stand the noise, either. They just didn’t have a solution. They loved their KeyBar®, and they’d call me because their buddies wanted KeyBars too.

Then I started adding custom designs to my KeyBars and I tried making them out of different materials. Aluminum was the first material but I wanted titanium. Then, I had to try carbon fiber. Each KeyBar® was different. I tried different materials and different treatments.

They were almost like works of art. I’d post them to Instagram and pretty soon, I had quite a following. We added a few accessories and it took off even further.
