New Truck Key Setup
on: October 25, 2020, 01:53:40 AM
I wanted to post my new truck key setup. I like a minimal amount of stuff on my truck keys but I still wanted a one piece tool of some kind for it. I also like have a small stainless swivel for keeping my key and remote separated. Before using a swivel my truck keys always used to bunch up, I hated it. I chose the the Kershaw K-Tool for my setup because it hides perfectly behind my remote making for a nice setup. I really only wanted a flat screwdriver and box opener but the addition of a bottle opener is nice even if it doesn't work very well, I always have my SAK if needed.

GG!!! :ahhh:

Nice to see you around. :salute:

I'm not a big fan of the swivel, it adds too much bulk for the functionality it offers and positions the stuff attached to it in opposite directions.

But that also depends on how you carry your keys.
Glad you found a setup that works for you so well :tu:

Nice tidy set up.  I like the swivel and use smaller ones to keep things freely moving.

Thank buddy!!  :cheers:

The swivel is very light but I get what you mean. They were $7 or $8 for a two pack and the quality is really nice for the money.  :tu:

Nice swivel... hard to find a good one, most are either flimsy or large. Keys are always a nuisance, hard to get a good setup. So  :hatsoff:
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

The one I use is 4mm. I know they make a 3mm version but I;m having a hard time finding one. The 4mm is OK but the 3mm would be even better.  :tu:
