Whats on your keychain?

Recommended Posts

Nothing Nissan other than my van key!

 

Van key, house key, Princeton Tec flashlight, Spyderco Ladybug, and a copper bar with my kids names engraved on it.  If I get bored I will swap out the light and knife now and then.

I'm in the same camp as ASD Dad.  My van key is the only Nissan thing on my keychain.  I don't even have the Nissan key fob because I use the one that came with my remote starter.  I don't have anything against Nissan.  It's just that my keychain is bulky enough without adding anything decorative to it.

 

But since we're showing off keychains, here's a hack I came up with to prevent accidental button pushes.  I got tired of having my cars honk, unlock, start, etc. when I sit down with a pocket full of keys and one of the keys pushes a fob button.  I used some 3/16" ABS from ebay and some heavy duty velcro.  it completely solved the problem.

Years ago, the ignition mechanism went out on my Ford van. I was told that the heaviness of the key ring was the likely culprit. Ever since then, my key ring has always be minimalist. In addition to the van key, I have our house key and the Giant Eagle card (we get our groceries and most of our fuel from there). Every thing else is on my second key ring which is attachable to the first ring.

Chphilo, I've heard a few other people say they broke ignition switches with heavy key rings, too.  I used to use a detachable key ring, but I eventually decided it's easier if I never connect them.  So, I removed the gizmo that holds them together.
