Yeah, I also 'know a guy' who wrapped the cord around his arm when
changing a drill bit. Now that guy has all the chuck keys attached to
the cord near the plug...

My right-angle drill is only used on the lathe, so I took the key off the holder
and it stays on a rare earth magnet on the lathe, next to the key for the tail
stock chuck..
Not a good solution if you use the drill in different places, but works well for
my application..
I do the same with the drill press chuck key..
