Well?

On my car keys I have a Dunhill Bronze emblem on a leather back-strap thing. I dont smoke, but it looks nice and was from my departed gran.

On my house/office keys I have a swiss army knife (victorianox). It only has two blades, but has helped me out on the odd occasion. Those 10 thousand blade ones look bulky anyway.
 
We have a different key ring for each car.

They all have a tiny little jackknife and a "if found send to. . . " tag.

The only key on any of the rings is for that particular vehicle and for the storage.
 
The work keys have a Premiership tag on them. My house keys have some sort of stupid long chain on them (Like you get them on wallets) and the car keys are on a plain old round thing.

I have a swiss army knife and a mini maglite, but I give up having loads of crap attatched to my keys. It ends up making holes in my pockets.
 
My keyring is from Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas, My brother gave it to me a few years ago and ive been using it since
 
I have a keychain, with a mini shock absorber that works as an LED torch and a spark plug lighter (even though I don't smoke, a lighter is always useful).
 
I keep a small Swiss Army Knife (Officer) on a ring with about 5 keys (house, 2 cars, gate, work) on it. My wife keeps about 20 keys on one ring, and I can't stand to have that much superfluous stuff on a key ring.

My one work buddy at work has his car, office, house and car radio face (about the size of a matchbox) on one key ring. There are approaching 30 keys on it. Looks like on of those stereotypical prison key circles were you select a key, much as one would search for a sheet of paper in a packed file cabinet.
 
ive been using the same key neck band for the past 3 years from anime expo 2000. before that its was the trusty USMC d ring, lost faith in that fairly quick.
 
I have a little leather wallet thing with a short strap holding 2 different keyrings. The first loop has car keys for the 3 active cars. The second loop, which can be zippered into a pouch to protect the car when the car keys are in use, has the house/office keys on it. A little cumbersome, but not as bad as having 2 key cases.
 
I currently just use an OSU keyring that my brother sent me. Part of it is black leather, and the other part is a metal circle, with a plastic circle pressed onto the top of it, and on the white plastic it says OSU in orange. It's really nice, and I like it a lot.
 
i love keyrings! got a huge ball of keyrings from every country i have been to. and thats quite a lot..

but my fave is a red shoe from cyprus. me loves it!
 
Ugh...I hate big bulky keyrings...I really don't see how you guys stand that much stuff in your pocket and dangling there while you're driving around. My keyring consists of my car key and the key fob to unlock the doors.
 
I have one key and I keep it in my wallet. I, like Jordan, cannot stand big bulky keychains. Just give me the ring with the keys on it and I'm happy.

My parents have this big goofy bungee cord keyring and whenever you put the car key in the ignition,the keychain droops down and bounces around on your leg. It's very annoying.

Don't worry Rumply, if I ever find the keys to your Viper I promise I'll return it.

Yeah Right. :p

I like my key chain. :D

Mine is pretty standard a simple O-ring with a little Camaro emblem, a spark plug gap ring and four keys two for the car, one for my T-tops and a house key :D
 
I used to have one that said 'Top Bruv', but that broke. Then i had one that was from spain that showed the countrys silouhette. The newest one says 'if you don't like the way I drive then stay off the sidewalk.' It will break soon, oh the destruction of playing rugby on the yard.
 
I have a custom made nVidia keychain. That is, I used a Dremel to cut the video processor out of an old GeForce and drilled a hole in it. Aside from that, just the keys to my Bend, the family BMW, my house, and my toolbox.


On another note, I don't know if putting a "return to" on a key is such a good idea. What if the finder comes to teh address and uses the key to steal your car?

It might as well say, "If found, come to ___ to steal ___." Don't put your address on keys, has common sense taught us nothing!?

I have keyless entry (and a keyless starter; it's so exciting!) on my keys, so I haven't got any fancy keyrings like the rest of you.

I was actually going to write that in my post.

I think if someone found my key and read the attached name of the car it belonged to that I would not be seeing that key and car again for quite a while.

The brain work of my brilliant father.:rolleyes:
 
I couldn't care less if I lost my keys. If I do, new one's can be made. If someone finds my keys and steals my car then I'll just buy a new one with insurance money or whatever.

If I was concerned about my keys I'd put my cell phone number on there, but not my home phone, or home address.
 
lol, Lets see so we've done where you keep your wallet and how much do you carry threads. Now were doing this key thing and it says what state you live in under your user name... Getting closer to figuring how to rob you. I should check out the "What kind of car you drive" and "Pictures of yourself" thread too. Just kidding. For me I just have two key rings separating my keys so I can get to stuff with out fumbling around. The connection between the two rings is a clip that can separate. The other clip separates my garage door opener.
