Isn't it time to be lord of the ring instead of hoard of the ring?
Carry only the keys you use every day home, office, mailbox. If they look alike, use colored key identifiers (shown above; $6.00 for twenty, www.homedepot.com). Keep car keys on a separate ring. Some auto mechanics warn that a heavy key chain can strain the ignition, eventually making it difficult to turn the key. If you don't know what it unlocks, get rid of it.Your key chain should be sturdy and easy to use. The new Handy Key Light from Lexon (shown above; $15; 888-445-3966 for store locations) allows you to add and remove keys without breaking a nail, and features a built-in light for unlocking doors in the dark.
