Problem with sharp car keys
 
Anyone have the problem with their car keys when it either pokes a hole through your jeans pockets, or scratches everything else in your pocket?

I'm using a Nissan style key i got from canadian tire for $4 and the tip is really sharp and has already caused a bit of damage to my possessions. Basically the sort of key an S14 has with the plastic bit.

I'm using a porsche design key pouch, but even that is a bit too small for the 8cm long key... and it's already scratched up the inside quite a bit.

How do you carry your keys? Btw I only have two keys i need to carry, house and car keys.

Keys in one pocket along with change and other stuff I don't care about. Phone in another and wallet in rear.

Maybe you should take some sand paper to it?

Keys and change always go in one pocket. i never carry anything with my keys.
You have other pockets, so use them :p

with the compustar remote it gets kinda big so i use a lanyard to carry all my keys around my neck.

Hmm sanding sounds like an idea

I can't put it in my pocket cos it pokes holes through them :(

use a file and sand down the edges and round out the tip with it..

get a key wallet

!Tigger 07-10-2009 08:26 AM

i only got 2 replacement keys why..?

ilvtofu 07-10-2009 10:58 AM

^^With a key wallet does it hit ur feet? when ur driving? or do u mean like a coin purse (lol) that you just keep it in, and then take it out of the purse when u need it?

^can't you just make duplicates?

Neone know whether I can make a duplicate with a smaller key?

Caribiner on belt loop ftw

ilvtofu 07-10-2009 06:12 PM

But a carabiner will expose your keys to your T-shirts and car seats, won't that cause some tears?

hk20000 07-10-2009 06:27 PM

foldable swiss army knife keys are your friends.

Hmm, I dunno get a key made that is not from Cambodian Tire, perhaps?

orange7 07-12-2009 08:03 PM

get a murse to hold your keys?

*puts on a no-homo suit*

ilvtofu 07-12-2009 10:09 PM

You sure put on a lot of suits there orange7 lol

Yeah maybe i should carry a bag, but it's so annoying sometimes :(
It doesn't have to be a fag bag neways, but that'll just end up scratching everything in my bag in the end too...

Yo dawg we put a bag inside your bag so you can protect your bag while you bag!

^ thanks the guy has a z31 not a bmw nor a merc.

best way I would suggest is have your car key in your pocket and other keys out, if the pocket is snug enough it can hold the car key with no problems

ilvtofu 07-13-2009 11:01 AM

... lolol yeah... i'll go out and buy a merc,bmw,audi, vw, so i can get the keys...

Oh well i'll just have to live with it i guess... maybe i'll leave the key in the ignition XD or tape it to my wheel well sorta like how ppl leave house keys under doormats XD!!!
