Is the key loop on this drive made of metal or plastic? Does it seem durable enough to survive being on a keychain?

No, it's plastic. Strong ? I don't think you could call it strong. In and out of a pocket or purse time and time again, I would expect it or any other Thumb drive to break over time. It has an aluminum body, it's fast, but strong ? No

It's plastic and I question whether it would survive long term attachment to a keychain. I think the weight of keys might be an issue. So while I can't give you a definite no, I'm kind of leaning that way.

From personal use of this item - the plastic loop cracked open after about 8 months on my keychain.

The key loop is made of hard plastic. I agree with Joe Z's answer. I would not risk carrying it around on a key chain.

I agree with the comments below. It's hard plastic. I wouldn't put this on a keychain directly, although putting it on a short chain connected to your keychain might work (the flexibility of the chain would help prevent cracking from being bent the wrong way against a metal loop).

hard plastic. It depends on how tough you are on it. If you are looking more for ruggedness, a LaCIe PetiteKey, LaCIe RuggedKey, or a GigaFlash might be better.

It is durable and does not fall apart but as I have posted a few weeks ago, mine had the delete key stopped working which sort of makes no sense to keep it. I was very disappointed. Maybe you´ll get luckier and yours will not stop working..

It's definitely metal, not sure if it's heavy duty or not... its very sturdy and fits very tightly on a belt. My last one lasted 2 years and broke because my key got stuck while opening a door and damaged the retractable chain.

The magnet is quite strong, I don't see it falling off from everyday driving (I have not used it). For under $10, try it out with an object that is twice as heavy as your key; do some rigorous driving (speed bumps, potholes, etc.)... If its still there when you get home, it's safe to say your spare key will stay put! If you are an SUV driver, I highly recommend the hitch key vault. Phenomenal design. Hope this helped!

It is metal, but thin. It was strong enough for 6 keys, 1 regular and 5 small cart lock ones. I really liked this but like the other reviewer who answered below, the connection is what broke on mine, not the cable itself.

it's made of high quality plastic, with a metal plate on the inside of the keyboad, it's pretty heavy and does not feels cheap or filmsy, but beware of the other problems this keyboard has, look out for my review.

Yes it does, and unlike some other thumb drives, the plastic insert that holds the actual chip goes all the way through (so your key ring will go through it too), so it's secure. I have had some other metal thumb drives, where the little circuit with the chip fell out. This one looks very secure.

The drive sprocket on the blender base is hard rubber--I haven't cut into it to see if it's a rubber coated metal drive gear, but it seems pretty solid. The jar has a metal gear and entire blade assembly is all metal except for a rubber sealing gasket. The drive system seems pretty substantial; I would expect it to last a long time.

No, while it won't break immediately it will not stand up to that kind of scenario long term meaning over years which is what one would expect to be the lifespan of a 128GB capacity flash drive.Further it's relatively HUGE physical dimensions to put on a keyring relative to the other alternative flash drives on the market including many with a more durable metal key ring loop.

I have no complaints. I've had it for like 8 or 9 months. Pretty simple. I use it mostly to hold a small shotgun mic. But I've had field recorders and led panels on it. Everything stayed mounted so I'd say its worth it. All metal except for the red knob.

metal ,, I have never seen plastic one ,, the light on this is also very bright when it flashes,and I see no way of turning it off I ahve sent mine back for the SanDisk Cruzer Fit 32GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive- SDCZ33-032G-B35 it's not 3.0 but it is smaller and no bright light, good for car I hope

The only metal is the latch itself, key is taped to outside of plastic housing. I am fairly sure all of the valve assembly is plastic also judging from the way the one I replaced was broken.

No, there isn't a keychain loop on the Leef Fuse USB Flash Drive. But if you're really after flash drive with a keychain loop, check out the Leef Ice USB Flash Drive - it has a hole for a key chain loop.

The key holder is to help you from misplacing the key, so just helpful. The lock is all internal, or inside the cabnet, so yes there is no visible plastic.

It's plastic. I wouldn't recomend this drive. Many many people are having them fail and lose all data.

Bottom line the drive end is plastic and not steel I usually just stick it in my pocket. The problem I had with the drive is my computer can only read the drive half the time. Not sure if the drive was a fake and not the real deal read review that some of them were fake Kingston digital drives. Not using it much be computer only reads it half the time.

The case is metal and appea re s to be durable. There are some scratches where the connector meets the computer but the device has held up pretty well on my keychain.
