I know this has been something that people on this forum have been trying to get. I decided since it was soo hard for people to get a hold of these things, I would order a bunch myself and offer them to people on this forum as well as a bunch of other forums that I am a part of.

First off I am not responsible if you get pulled over and get in trouble for this, I don't see why you would but who knows (some cops can be dicks).

As seen in the option videos and on tuner cars in Japan: Snap-On Key Chain or whatever they are called:


I paid $30 for each one and then paid shipping on top of that, for some strange reason these things are very hard to find in the U.S. and I had some difficulty trying to explain what it was to people in Japan, and of course you can't find a snap-on guy whenever you need one.

I have:
5 black with white lettering
5 red with white lettering
5 yellow with black lettering
5 orange with black lettering
4 Gray with red lettering
1 gray with black lettering

Please specify what you are looking for when you order:

Here are some pictures of what the finished product will look like after putting your key in:

I will accept payments via paypal because it is probably the easiest way to setup a transaction. Keep in mind paypal will charge me 3% for every transaction I make. Shipping for these was approximatly $25 via EMS from Japan.

I am asking $55 shipped, $50 for the actual item and $5 for shipping via USPS.
I'm not going to make enough to fill my gas tank but on the other end I'm not here to donate to charity either and lose money(no offense to charities).

You can send payment to me, www.paypal.com
Receipient: [email protected]

Please also pm me any questions as well.

If this goes well I will try and order more.

wow thats cool. so how did the big keyend fit into the holder? do u have to cut it off or what

Question, how much trouble is it to get the key in?

cnile51

No trouble at all. You have to cut the big end of the key with any type of cutting tool, then modify the handle by adjusting the inside depending on how you cut your key.

If you want you can put some type of adhesive on the inside but it isn't necessary.

If you can change your oil this is a piece of cake.

I know majority of us are diy'ers on this forums so it shouldn't be hard at all.

If you really need help after receiving it I can walk you through it via phone or e-mail.

1 orange and 1 red are already sold on another forum. I haven't posted on the
honda forums yet because I don't drive a honda and i know if i post there they will eat these up quickly.

i want one but $55 is a lot right now... i got court today over sum stupid ticket

I wish i could sell them for less because i paid 30 for each one. But after factoring in shipping from japan and shipping to you, if i sell for less than this i will end up losing money. I wont be losing a lot, maybe a couple of dollars but still i cant lose any money.

i know how the tickets feel. I am bombarded every week because i drive on on rhd car. This week i Have to goto court for seat belt ticket because i have harnesses, as wel as bogus nspection which i thought was legit. Thats about 300 in tickets i have to fight....

Just sold one black as well.

If you ever happen to do this again later I hope you can get some green ones! :x:

cnile51
04-27-2007, 09:12 AM
i tried to get green and other colors, but from what i am being told these are going to be discontinued so they aren't available. I got whatever I could for the time being. Hopefully I can get more but to be honest with you I doubt I will because I put a lot of time trying to source these and I'm not making shyt off of it. It's just something I figured I would get for those who have been searching for them for the last few months.

For those on this forum who have ordered they have been shipped out. I will pm you and/or e-mail you with your information.

04-28-2007, 03:42 PM
can i ask how these are jdm... when they say snap on USA on them?

they are sweet though and wouldnt mind one

cnile51
04-28-2007, 05:04 PM
ill hold a black one for you reaxion.

They are jdm because they are only sold in the japanese domestic market. Yes they are made by snap-on usa but they are not sold in the united states. This is what makes them "jdm". The term is used so loosely people don't know or forget what the term stands for.

Anything sold in the japanese domestic market is jdm. We just use it to symbolize the tuner scene and parts the tuners have that we don't.

And besides, that's what everyone else calls them so why not?

-Nas

I made mine and have been using it without any issues. I will post pictures of mine when I get a chance.

If you need to make a copy of your key, home depot will make it without an issues it will cost you $1.79

You bought them for 30dollars each?! God Damn!! Last time I visited Japan, it was 1000yen each!..Oh well.. Anyways gl on your sale.

cnile51
04-28-2007, 06:15 PM
yea i kept checking for pricing but they are being discontinued and I couldnt get them for less because i had no choice!!!!

I know it's pretty high for a fukin stubby screwdriver handle but i figured it was worth it. Its a full tank of gas in my r33.

The other thing, how long ago was it that you checked? I am assuming the currency conversion changed as well beingthat it changes by the day and they had a surplus available?

No problem. I just realised if you pull the ring part it detaches and re-atttaches. I have 1 red left and 2 black.
1 orange as well. If you need helping installing them lmk. It's fairly simple

one black being held for reaxion but im still waiting for payment.

5 yellow still left. (probably going to sell them on honda-tech

Way to bump an old asss thread lol

Just make your own. I bought one from my snap on truck for like 15 bucks and pulled out the bit and put my key in... Added a key chain and bam same thing way cheaper.
