Davis Key Buoy as key ring SW
Dropping your keys in the water or any other small valuable object is the nightmare no sailor wants to happen.
With this new invention by Davis Instruments, you can not only drop them in the water and they will float, you WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THEM EASILY. How? Read on ...
Now you think you've lost them forever.
Water can be a black hole rather than a blue hole for for all boating enthusiasts' keys and small tools. Not anymore, thanks to the innovative Key Buoy. But what now? Scroll down to see what happens....
If the Key Buoy should fall into the water, the patented, self-inflating key ring automatically pops open, inflates its air tube and rises to the surface.
In as little as 60 seconds, you can get back your keys, small tools or deck plate keys weighing up to 80g.
The convenient, bright orange 36cm air tube makes the versatile Key Buoy easy to spot and retrieve. Don't remember tomorrow though, because it only maintains buoyancy for something over an hour.
What a great, practical gift this could be for anyone who sets foot on any type of boat.
The Key Buoy measures just 61mm x 41mm x 15mm and weighs merely 31g.
It is made entirely out of plastic, and can be recycled after use. Please note that is is made for a single use only, so you should keep a spare Key Buoy on hand.
