Default FS TC XD XB2:Retractable Keys SOLD OUT LOCK UP

I'm buying these keys wholesale from a supplier and i was wondering if there was any interest in them here. gonna see how the response is so i know how many to buy. the more i buy the more of the savings i can pass on to you guys.



here is an ebay ad of a guy selling the same key.(I'm using his pic) it has all the info about the. but they ship from china and that take 2-4 weeks i can have them out in 2-3 days w/ no shipping fee


Ebay Sale Of Same Item

UPDATE 6-9-2009

I ordered the keys today. the price is gonna be 30$ and ill cover the shipping to the contiguous 48 states. they should be in early next week. ill be able to start shipping them then I'm gonna do mine first so i can include pics and check durability and functionality. i can accept is paypal or you can mail a money order no personal checks. i sent messages to the first 10 who replied. i only got 10 so if any of them dont want one they will be first come first serve

UPDATE 6-15-2009

Keys are in stay tuned for more. the review is done its the last post on the second page

If fitment and installation isn't a pain (give an instruction), I'll take one for sure.

was watchin this same flip key on the bay and it was roughly the same price, looks cool but how sturdy will the key be? would not want the key to break off, due to some cheap asian sweat shop plastic.

Good in theory but like Clown boy said how sturdy are they? I would want one. Also it says retractable but is that slider or flip out?

I have the link to the ebay sale up top. i will be selling them for about the same price but shipping will be free and about 3 weeks faster

I have not handled one of these keys personal yet. i questioned the manufacturer about the quality and they told me that they have never had one returned because it broke ( i know they always say that) so that's all i have to go on for now. you guys can have my word that when i get these in i will test there durability. and if the not up to par they will be going back. I will not sell junk. and the key is a slider.

Ooo., good question. I don't think it will automatically slide back in, but I don't think they do. That would require a spring load or some kind of motor.

I too am interested in this.
