The EDC Problem

Tangled keys. Fumbled tools. Lost gear.

In the split-second you need that key, that flashlight, that drive — your carry should be ready. Yet every connector on the market makes the same compromise.

!

Magnetic OnlyTrade-off · 01

Easy.Unreliable.

Snaps on fast, but one jostle and your keys are gone. Weak retention means lost items — and lost trust in the piece you carry every day.

!

Mechanical OnlyTrade-off · 02

Secure.Slow.

A strong hold, but needs two hands and a fidget dance every time you want your keys back. Not built for the rhythm of real life.

Dual-Lock Mechanism

Two systems.
One fluid motion.

01

Approach

N52 magnets draw the halves together with precise alignment — no aiming, no fumbling, no missed connection.

02

Auto-Lock

A mechanical interlock engages the instant contact is made. Magnets hold the alignment; the lock secures the load.

03

Pull to Release

A gentle pull on the outer shell disengages the lock. True single-hand operation — learned in three uses.

Where It Lives

Built for every carry

/ 01 · Outdoor

Trail & Travel

Flashlights, multitools, bottle carabiners. Detach without breaking stride.

/ 02 · Urban

Commute & Office

Keycards, car keys, USB drives. One hand on the wheel, the other on the grab.

/ 03 · Everyday

Home & Pocket

ID tags, charms, small tools. Organized, instantly accessible, never tangled.

The Core Innovation

Magnetic speed meets mechanical security.

Q1 V2 merges two worlds into one connector. The magnet does the finding; the mechanical lock does the holding. Accidental release? Physically impossible without a deliberate pull.

N52 neodymium magnets for confident auto-alignment
Stainless steel internal locking mechanism
No sliders, no switches, no second hand required

Dual-lock mechanism close-up — the magnet-meets-mechanical moment

Instant Release

True single-handed operation.

Grip. Pull. Gone. The outer shell design disengages the internal lock with one motion — no thumb slide, no press-and-hold, no learning curve. Muscle memory in three uses.

Ergonomic shell contour for positive grip
Calibrated release tension — firm but fluid
Works identically with gloves on or off

Single-handed release — hand gripping and pulling the shell

Load Capacity

Grade 5 titanium.
Tested to 158 kg.

Smaller than a coin, stronger than you'd believe. We load-tested the Q1 V2 to 348 lbs in the lab — then set the working load at 75 kg (165 lbs) so you never approach the limit in daily carry.

Working load: 75 kg / 165 lbs
Max test load: 158 kg / 348 lbs

Ultra-Lightweight

Smaller than a coin.
Lighter than a nickel.

Four material options, each tuned for a different carry philosophy. Titanium for the long-haul EDC. Aluminum for weight optimization. POM and PEI for non-metallic carry.

360° Infinite Rotation

Zero tangling. Full freedom.

An internal swivel lets both halves rotate independently, 360° in any direction. Keys, tools, and lanyards twist naturally as you move — no knots, no binding, no daily frustration.

Dual-bearing swivel, internal to the shell
Smooth rotation under load or unloaded
Sealed against pocket lint and dust

N52 Magnet Utility

Stick it. Store it. Find it.

The same N52 magnets that drive the lock also let you stick the detached half to any magnetic surface — fridge, locker, toolbox, desk. Drop it once, find it first time.

— Hands-On Review

★★★★★

Had the V1 for two years — the V2 auto-lock is the upgrade I didn't know I needed. Approach the halves and it just clicks. Flawless.

M. TorresVerified

★★★★★

Titanium build quality is identical to gear twice the price. Used it daily for three months on my keys and pocket flashlight. Hasn't failed once.

D. ChenVerified

★★★★★

The 360° swivel fixes my single biggest lanyard gripe. No more tangles. The magnet holds my keys on the fridge, which is weirdly useful.

A. ParkVerified

★★★★★

Got the tritium version. Glow is subtle but reliable — I can find my keychain on a dark nightstand without fumbling. Exactly what I wanted.

J. WhitmanVerified

★★★★★

The release pull tension is dialed in perfectly. Firm enough it won't pop in a bag, light enough I don't fight it. Beautiful engineering.

R. AhmadVerified

★★★★★

Switched from a leading competitor's quick-release. The Q1 V2 feels in a different league. Single-hand operation is the real deal here.

K. MüllerVerified

★★★★★

Had the V1 for two years — the V2 auto-lock is the upgrade I didn't know I needed. Approach the halves and it just clicks. Flawless.

Available in four materials, standard or Tritium edition. Built in our ISO 9001 titanium facility to ±0.01mm tolerance.

In Practice

— Watch the Walkthrough

01 · Connect

Keep the release ring free

Do not hold the release ring while connecting. Hold the body below it and bring both halves close. Magnetic alignment guides them together automatically.

02 · Lock & Carry

Auto-locks securely

When the release ring is free to move, Q1 V2 automatically locks into place. Lightly pull to confirm it is secure, then carry hands-free.

03 · Release

Pull the shell

Grip the outer shell and pull along the axis to disengage the lock. Your gear is instantly in your hand.

Common Questions

Things worth knowing

Tritium tubes are securely installed in the titanium housing, but they are still glass and may crack or break if dropped or impacted. Please inspect the item immediately upon opening the package on the delivery date and confirm in a completely dark environment that all tubes are intact and glowing. Any issue, including non-glowing, cracked, loose, or broken tubes, must be reported to us by email no later than the end of the day following delivery. Photos of the defective tube must be provided together with the original packaging, or the claim will not be accepted. The delivery date and time shall be determined solely by the carrier's tracking information and delivery confirmation record. The warranty covers only defects or damage present upon arrival and before any use. Once the item has been used, attached, carried, dropped, or otherwise put into service, no warranty, replacement, or refund will be provided.

No. Despite passing load tests to 158 kg, the Q1 V2 is designed and certified only for everyday carry — keys, tools, small gear. It is not rated for climbing, mountaineering, diving, lifting, or any life-safety application. Please use purpose-built rated hardware for those uses.

The N52 magnets are fully encased in the titanium shell, which significantly shields external magnetic exposure. Modern phones, credit cards (which use RFID/chip rather than magnetic strips), and keyless entry fobs are not affected by typical EDC proximity. Keep direct contact with legacy magnetic-stripe cards to a minimum as a precaution.

The Q1 V1 uses a manual slide lock — you actively slide a collar to secure and release. The V2 is fully automatic: the lock engages on magnetic approach, and releases with a simple axial pull. V2 is the one-handed version; V1 is the manual-control version. Both share the same Grade 5 titanium build and 360° swivel.

The Q1 V2 - Tritium Ready has six machined slots for 1.5 × 6 mm tritium vials, providing passive glow for up to 25 years without batteries. Tritium vials are sold separately so you can choose your colors. We offer Swiss-sourced vials in our tritium collection.

30-day no-questions returns on unused product. We also back the mechanical and titanium components against defects. Reach out via our contact page if anything isn't right — we ship direct from the factory and respond fast.
