Four types I need to find what people want, majority rules. Feel free to post your thoughts. I can't read minds. I would like to offer just a couple of styles. If most people want the key ring, then it is an easy one, because a lobster claw, carabineer or other things can go right on the ring. If the claw is the best, then it is on the fob for good, so it limits. The plain Paracord loop looks to be specialized mostly for knife guys, is that true?

Lobster Claw

Carabiner

keyring

Paracord Loop.

If you choose the Paracord loop, please post and specify if you want it fixed or adjustable length, usually done with a bead stop.

I would love one with a carabiner on one end and a key ring on the other end, actually 2 key rings.

If you do the paracord loop, you can cow hitch/lark’s head around each of your examples. Not as clean looking if incorporated at the time it’s made, but adds flexibility and customization.

Paracord loop allows the widest use at lowest cost - the buyer can add a carabiner, split ring, or small split ring and lobsterclaw depending on use.

Not many votes, but not many were expected. Lobster claw and plain loop are even. Doesn't help much. Guess the easiest way is to leave a very small Paracord loop on the fob and let the owner put on whatever they want. Maybe add a piece of Paracord, to tie in their own longer loop. That way one could use a loop, or any other attachment, like a lobster claw, carabineer, key ring, etc. Might be just the best way to go. Maybe just include a lobster claw with a small split ring, a carabineer, a key ring and a Paracord loop as accessories and it would be a more unique fob to sell. The universal fob.
