Pearl Jam key chains quality?

Question for the group.

I have on my Key chain, a Yield/KROQ PJ one that has been great for years.  Worn the paint off but still a great key chain.  

Question is for the newer ones that have come out, do they fall apart easily?  Are they junk?  The Skullys look like they would be better off for a Christmas tree ornament than a Key chain.

I have heard not so great things about the Florida Hotel key chains.  Maybe we can get better quality out of these.  Just curious.

    I’ve been using the OG Safe Travels keychain nonstop since I bought it at the Spectrum in 2009.  It’s held up great.  I have some backups waiting in the wings but haven’t needed them yet.

    That is the other one I heard was really good too.  Thx Tom.

    As a guy that likes a good beer (or any beer really), I’ve been hoping that they’d come out with a PJ bottle opener keychain similar to the EV Corona one. I’ve used a White Sox one for about a decade and it still looks / works great.

    As long as it's sturdy and doesn't break I like that idea!

    I still have the one I got in Montreal, 2011. Granted, it’s not on keys I use everyday, but it’s still held up well.

    My metal oval shaped lightning bolt is going strong since 2013 Brooklyn. Love it. As is my metal PJ20 square.

    My 2018 Boston broke after four months and my 2016 Florida Motel key had the lettering rub off after six weeks.

    So, it’s hit or miss for me.

    It seems the older stuff lasts longer than the newer stuff.

    I got the lightning bolt eye a few years ago in a mystery box and the skull batter from Wrigley 18. Both fell apart after little use.

    I disagree on the safe travels.  I've had 2 break and fall off the keys. . 
     I have a lightning bolt metal one that's  worn and invincible.  I agree with E.V corona opener. That's invincible  also

    I had this same one.  Bought it at the Rome 2018 show.  It separated from the chain on me about a month ago (the little loop on the top snapped off.).  Super disappointed.  Same thing happened to my 2018 Seattle skully.

    Same its the most important part yet the weakest.

    Looks like I’m the only one that got a fault LB eye. A few said it’s strong, mine lasted a couple months.

    I’ve had the PJ20 keychain on my key ring since Alpine and it still looks great.
