They’re all on 1” chains with a split ring, and we’ll pick (1) for you because then opening the package will be more like Christmas morning (but still the nightmare before).

Four carabiners, no waiting. These are for keys and stuff, not for hanging around Mt. Everest. We'll pick a quartet of 2-3/4" x 1-3/8" carabiners in assorted vibrant anodized-aluminum colors, including black and polished silver.

No offense, but it’s only truly devoted members of the nerdocracy that have a Nintendo® lanyard, implying that maybe, just maybe, they’ve been invited to NES competitions, or have an uncle Mario or Luigi. Our lanyards have 15-3/4" x 3/4" wide neck straps and are marked either Nintendo® Entertainment Systems with a clip and a rubber game controller icon on the end, or festooned with Mario Bros™ characters, with a clip and nice rubber Nintendo toad. We’ll pick (2) different ones for you as long as we have them, but after that you’ll get what you get without throwing a fit.

Nothing says camping tragedy like having no place to hang your water bottle when you're stalking elusive critters. This 2-5/8" assorted colors aluminum carabiner has a canvas strap with a rubber gasket on it to grab onto the top of your standard water bottle with a 7/8" cap. This makes it great for biking and hiking, too. Also has a slip ring for sundry other stuff.

This 6" long water bottle holder has a 2" aluminum carabiner and is attached to a 2-3/4” long canvas strap, with a 1” slip ring and a soft rubber planchette-like, plectrum-ish, egg-shaped thingie 2-3/8” long with a 15/16” hole in it. What for? Our Asst VP for Saying Planchette says that is the portion to slip over the top of the water bottle. The whole shebang is in a hard-to-lose neon green.

This small, clip-on, retractable cord reel measures just 1” dia x 3/8” thick, in black plastic over steel, with its spring clip on the back. A very thin nylon cord pulls out to reach 18-1/2”, with a closed wire loop at the end to hold a key or whatever (think: name-badge holder). Doesn’t lock open, so just pull it out and use the attachment, and it automatically retracts when you let go. We had a sixth-grade nun with one of these, but we never knew what the key was for.

Our hottest hot pink carabiner. Call it fuchsia, in honor of Leonard Fuchs, who discovered the flower of that color--which is a shade of dark pink. Measures, 3” long with “safe working load 150lbs” printed along its flattened fuchsia side. But it’s not for climbing, no matter how much you weigh.
