6 Best Keychains for Self-Defense

When you need to protect yourself in a hurry, sometimes all you have accessible are your car keys.

Don’t waste precious seconds trying to dig out your knife. Instead, reach for your self-defense key chain.

These are designed to be discreet and easy to get to in the event of an attacker.

As always, be mindful of local laws before purchasing any kind of self-defense weapon.

For example, if you’re in an area that bans the purchase of mace, you probably wouldn’t want to get yourself the mace keychain written about here.

However, there are enough options listed that at least one should work for you.

Yogo Self Defense Keychain

The Yogo Self Defense Keychain looks kind of like a massage baller. To use the Yogo, place the keychain in your hand around your pointer finger.

The ends of the keychain should stick up between your thumb and pointer finger, and between your pointer and middle fingers.

This makes any self-defense move such as hitting even more effective.

The device can also be used to break glass in an emergency situation.
