<!–This Simple EDC Is Designed for COVID-19 — and on Sale Now • Gear Patrol<!– –>

We recently covered StatGear’s Hygiene Hand, a key-like EDC for opening doors and pushing buttons, which has raised more than half a million dollars on Kickstarter. But while that product’s estimated delivery is June, a very similar item is available on The Drop, on sale, and ships in mid-May.

It’s KeySmart’s CleanKey, it’s small enough to fit on your keychain, and it’s designed to help you move through the world without touching so many things with your hands. Such a proposition is especially relevant now, of course. The CleanKey is made from antimicrobial 260 brass alloy, a material that kills 99.9 percent of germs within a couple hours.

It’s worth noting that a brass skeleton key could serve a similar purpose. However, given the discounted price of the CleanKey and the fact it’s specifically designed for button-pushing and door-opening (the large hook at the front provides much more handle-grabbing utility than a skeleton key would), this deal is tough to beat.

Note: Purchasing products through our links may earn us a portion of the sale, which supports our editorial team’s mission. Learn more here.
