How to fix my key hold thing? Some wire and hot glue?

>> No.1769167

Get a different key cut without the huge faggy plastic head on it. Those things are a meme and make your keys take up way too much room on your keychain.

This looks like a bicycle lock key...
I have one of those.
We usually do just drill a new hole.
They are for our work bicycles.

this but use a vice to hold the key or it'll spin out and maybe fuck your hand up. Almost happened to me for the exact same shit. If you don't have a drill try sugru

Ok then faggot.

Cut a new key yourself out of a blank cast from brass scraps in a forge you made, or better yet find some iron ore and smelt some of it, add some carbon to make a proper steel, and then forge that into a key blank. File the teeth on by hand and drill a hole in the head for your key-ring. Feel free to omit the faggoty plastic bit on the end like a real man would.

Or go to the local ace hardware and have one cut for you for $1.99. Choice is yours.

Cut off the pointy bits near the break. Drill a new hole. Stick your tiny dick in the hole and fuck it like it's your boyfriend's asshole

He's right though. Having a one piece solid metal key will be better than anything they're going to do to fix that plastic bullshit.

This is what I would do. Is this what you should do? I do not know. Either use a pin/needle and a lighter to make little holes in it. Maybe a tiny drill bit would work, but I'm a VERY low-tech kinda guy. Then fish wire or even fishing line through the holes and make a loop with it.

If you use wire, just twist it around a few times and there you go.

If you use string of any sort, I'd add Loctite™ to the string to make it turn into a kind of plastic... Encasing the string in plastic.

The glue would just break as it jangled on the ring, so I guess use the wire, if you're still on this. If you haven't go to the store and had a copy made.

If you seriously cannot fix this, hang up your tools and walk away. This is chimp level shit your fixing right here. Drill a single hole in the middle, and put it back on your keychain. If it breaks again, then get another key made of better material. Dont be a broke little bitch, and shell out dosh for better quality. Cant believe a thread like this was made. If this is bait, then bravo OP you successfully baited me. Mad and ashamed rn

heat the wire andpush it into the plastic. no hot glue needed, just a lighter or candle. be sure to sand the wire so it grips better.

Why did you bite half of your key?
