The Key Buoy

Juniper Foo | Sep 22, 2006

Arrr, me mateys! Let's walk the plank, and then watch as your keys rise up while you sink like a stone. Designed for seafaring boaters, the Key Buoy makes losing your keys in murky waters a thing of the past. It's an idea that's been floating around some time, but now that it's real, this should prove a lifesaver for butter fingers. The magic happens when the fob, which fits onto any keychain, is submerged. Once wet, this prompts the buoy to open up and release an orange tube that automatically inflates with air, ensuring your keys are back in your hands rather than in Davy Jones' locker. Do note. It's a one-time use option. So bring along a spare. Oh, and it'll stay afloat for 40 minutes, unless a passing whale mistakes it for chow.
