I used to do this, but found that after I'd removed and replaced the
keys I use most often a few times, the spring connection to the ring
broke. The spring which fits around the key is pretty tight on the CK sets.


The plastic caddies tend to get loose also. Kinda anoying to get to where you are going
to work carrying the things and find you lost a key on the way. DAMHIKT!

When your storebought holder finally loosens up..go to any good Tool
store and pick up those coin shaped yellow holders..about 2" in diameter
with a small spring that goes all the way around it. Get em in Metric
and Standard. Bout $3.50 each,

Cant remember the name at the moment, but thats all I use on the job.
Works great, tough, handy and keeps the wrenches in place just fine.

Someone help with the name and a link? Or do I have to go out to the
truck?
