Nite Ize DoohicKey: the under-$10 pick
Nite Ize DoohicKey Key Tool
$6.99, as of Oct 2026
Key-sized stainless steel tool with a box cutter, bottle opener, wrenches (1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 in), ruler and flathead screwdriver, plus a clip for the key ring (Nite Ize).
The DoohicKey is the lowest-priced pick here. Nite Ize lists it as TSA friendly and sells it in black or stainless.
Olight i3T 2 EOS: a AAA light that clips to a pocket
Olight i3T 2 EOS
$19.99, as of Oct 2026
Small EDC flashlight with a tail switch. Ships with a AAA battery and also takes a protected 10440 cell for up to 300 lumens (Olight).
Olight says this second-generation i3T gets 31% more battery life than the first and that its new clip sits deeper in a pocket. Because it runs on AAA, there is nothing to charge.
Fenix E05R: the rechargeable option
Fenix E05R Keychain Flashlight
$29.95, as of Oct 2026
Under 3 in long and 24 g, with four brightness levels, a 400 lumen Instant Burst and a built-in battery that charges over micro-USB (Fenix).
The E05R suits someone who would rather recharge than buy batteries. Note that it charges over micro-USB, not USB-C. For USB-C lights, see our USB-C rechargeable EDC flashlights guide, and for more tiny lights see best keychain flashlights.
Tile Mate: a tracker for any phone
Tile Mate
$24.99, as of Oct 2026
Bluetooth tracker with a 350 ft range, a 3-year battery that needs no charging, IP68 water resistance and an SOS button, at 8 g (Tile).
Tile works with both iPhone and Android phones, so it is the safer gift when you do not know which phone they use. Tile.com now redirects to the Life360 store, where the Mate is listed.
Apple AirTag: for iPhone owners
Apple AirTag
$29.00, as of Oct 2026
Find My tracker with Ultra Wideband Precision Finding, NFC and an IP67 rating. Apple sells a 4-pack for $99.00 (Apple).
AirTag needs an iPhone or iPad to set up. It has no built-in key ring hole, so add a holder if it will ride on keys. Our Bluetooth tracker guide covers more tracker options.
Who should pick which
- Under $10 or a filler gift: DoohicKey.
- Someone who never charges anything: Olight i3T 2 EOS on AAA.
- Someone who charges a phone nightly anyway: Fenix E05R.
- Always losing keys, unknown phone: Tile Mate.
- Always losing keys, iPhone user: AirTag.
FAQ
