Best system I worked with was having three remotes, on a short chain
at three different strategic points in the shop. Needless to say, one
was never more than a step or two away, could always find them and the
extra step or two was welll worth the never-lost concept.

For me right now I simply crawl over three rows of stored machinery,
hang down and stretch as far as I can to reach the fricking (non-
magnetic) swith on my Griz DC that is about one inch off the floor. I
keep meaing to rewire that sucker into a mag switch at least at hip
height if not on a leader.

Next thought was that little, 2 x 1-1/2 x 3/8-inch, plastic remote is going
to get misplaced in no time (67 year-old) if I don't get it on a lanyard to
hang around my neck. *Looked at a leather shoelace and immediately realized

want that part of my anatomy sucked into a machine either.

So, where do you guys with remotes keep yours without losing it ???
