The same idea works well for my drill press chuck key. It's on a short
cable, with a swivel near the key -- something like

Black-24-45lb-3pcs_209691.html or like the striper leaders at
http://www.fishreports.net/fishing-l...aders-rigging-
accessories.html but with a thin cable, plastic-coated, about
2 feet long.

Hmm ... I've got a modified key-back retractor with a sliding
collar around the Jacobs key on the side of my drill press. (They used
to be among the things that GSA carried.) Oh yes -- also the key has a
spring around the pin to kick the key out so the key-back can retract it
out of the danger zone.

However -- the chuck normally in the drill press these days is a
Jacobs version of the Albrecht keyless chuck, so the key hangs there
unused. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
