Are there Carabiner Clips using the Hand-cuff Mechanism to Secure Things?
Are there clips, similar to carabiners, that use the hand-cuff mechanism to secure things? Where you put the key rings inside the handcuff clip, and secure it by latching the zip-tie style lock. Thank you for your interest.

Yes, they're rather unimaginatively called cable cuffs.
I designed a 3D printable version shaped like a dragon quite some time ago, just for yuks.
oh nice, is there something smaller? like for a keyring in a pants pocket? > cable cuffs
Commercially, yes. I have some wee little tiny ones that are a touch smaller than a US quarter. They sell them at Microcenter, and you can probably find them online as well.
do you have an image of that online? :D > wee little tiny ones
I went and dug up this fetchingly neon green one from the depths of my desk drawer. The model is apparently "CableClic," and even though I probably bought the pack this one came in fifteen years ago or so apparently they're still available.

is there one that's made out of aluminum?
Not to my knowledge. There's a market opportunity for you, perhaps. Watch out for patents.
