We’ve had a LOT of awesome keychains come our way thanks to the folks out at Wholesale Keychains–they packed up a padded envelope full of them and sent them out, and we’re running down the list one by one.  Today, we’re tackling one of the strangest keychains I’ve seen in some time–the Maxabiner Keyring.

The Maxabiner Keyring is a carabiner keychain–I know, that’s not so outlandish by itself.  But what’s included IN this carabiner keychain is what’s so outlandish.  It’s got two foldable blades mounted on its outer surface–one a normal knife blade with serrations on its lower quarter, and the other a saw blade.

Yes, you too can carry around a knife that might actually be illegal (there are, in various places, laws against the kind of knife you can actually have in your car and they’re all dependent on length, so check your local laws for details) and also have an emergency saw on hand.  After all, you never know when you may need to make a campfire.  Or a signal fire, for that matter.  And now you can be ready for exactly that contingency with the Maxabiner.

You can get one of these for right around fifteen bucks with Wholesale Keychain, and again, they’ll offer up a ten percent discount with the buying code carbuyer.

It’s not every day we think about key chains.  Sure, they’re a necessary part of every car trip, and they do a whole lot more than we think (who here hasn’t made the key chain claw in a bad neighborhood?) but there are key chains out there that do plenty more than just hold keys.

Today we’re talking about one such key chain, which Wholesale Keychains so kindly sent a model of for my consideration, the lockback knife.

It’s a lot smaller than you’d expect, and offers a short knife with a partially serrated edge.  You might well wonder why you’d ever want to carry a knife around on your keychain, especially with all the various laws around them, but I can assure you that if you ever get in an accident and caught in the seatbelt, you’d be glad to have one.

And frankly, I believe this little badass of a knife could cut through a seatbelt, too.  It tore through a Rent A Center circular like Lindsay Lohan through a bag of coke.  Best of all, you can get one of these yourselves for the low, low price of $4.99, and if you order from them, you can get ten percent off if you use the promotional code carbuyer.

So if you live in fear of being pinned upside down in a car, worry no longer.

In what is expected to be a decision related to the current economic crisis, Goodyear Tire & Rubber company has announced that it will be closing its tire manufacturing plant in Las Pinas, Philippines to address the uncompetitive manufacturing capacity globally.

Apparently the cost reduction here is aimed at the storage facilities which are expectedly not meeting the sales. The trend is something we see familiar in most companies and while this is a big shot in the arm for the Philippines, Goodyear will continue to serve the country in terms of service to wholesale, retail and original equipment customers.

“Due to high costs compared to other plants in the region, tires produced in the Las Pinas plant are not competitive in the marketplace,” said Pierre E. Cohade, president of Goodyear’s Asia-Pacific Region.
