Comments about Key Buoy:
The 1st one of these I had fell apart so I tried to see if it would inflate. Guess what it, it didn't.
My store manager (who is awesome) kindly gave me a replacement.
Today came the real test when my keys fell in the lake. Guess what, it didn't float.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't expect a miracle.
I intentionally only kept three keys on the ring in the hopes that it would have enough floatation if the worst were to happen.
This product is such a wonderful idea. It is compact and unobtrusive.
Unfortunately a simple foam floatie thing would have saved my day.

Comments about Key Buoy:
Just don't let this product get wet during washdowns, or in a rainstorm. It will deploy. Surprise!
But it is a great idea.
