Learn how to attach the Fallout Slocum's Joe Doughboy Keychain Companion to keys, bags, or zippers with this step-by-step guide, including common mistakes to avoid.
Quick Answer
Attach the Slocum's Joe Doughboy Keychain Companion by opening the metal keyring, sliding it onto your chosen loop, and then closing it securely. For best results, use the keyring directly rather than adding extra rings.
Why the Keyring Matters
The metal keyring on this keychain companion is the main attachment point. It's durable and designed to hold the plush securely, but how you use it affects how well it stays put.
If you plan to hang it from a backpack or belt loop, the keyring can handle the weight. For car keys, you might prefer a smaller loop to keep it from swinging too much.
Choosing the Right Attachment Point
Think about where you'll use the keychain. A backpack zipper pull is a common spot, but a belt loop or key ring works too. Each location has trade-offs: backpacks show off the companion, while keys keep it handy but more hidden.
Avoid attaching it to thin or fragile loops, like some zipper pulls, which might bend under the weight of the plush.
Step-by-Step Attachment Guide
- Locate the Keyring Split: Hold the Slocum's Joe Doughboy keychain and find the small gap where the metal keyring opens. This is usually where the ring ends meet. Check that the gap is wide enough before attempting to slide it onto anything.
- Open the Keyring: Gently pull the two ends of the keyring apart to create an opening. Use your fingernails or a flat tool like a coin edge, but avoid bending it too far. Don't force the ring open; it can snap or lose its shape.
- Slide the Keyring Onto Your Attachment Point: Place the opening over your chosen loop (e.g., backpack zipper, key ring, or belt loop) and slide the keyring through until it's fully seated. Make sure the plush hangs freely without twisting the keyring.
- Close the Keyring Securely: Press the ends of the keyring back together until they meet flush. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it's closed. If the ring doesn't close completely, the keychain could slip off later.
- Test the Attachment: Give the keychain a few gentle shakes to ensure it's secure. If it feels loose, reopen the ring and reattach it more carefully. A quick test now saves you from losing your companion later.
