I hate having to many keys in my pockets, so I split them into two parts: work keys and personal keys. When I get to work I leave my personal keys in my locker: truck key, house key, garage key, toolbox and gas cap key. My work keys are just the office key, locker key and a small knife keychain. My dad actually has this key holder on the wall with all kinds of keys, 98% of them don't have any use anymore.

I carry two key chains - one with the keys for my Caddy & work keys. The other has house keys (mine & my dad's), keys for various locks around the property, my wife's van & a 2-1/2" adjustable wrench. For those fellow Canadians here, yes it came with the set from Canadian Tire.
I find the adjustable very handy. It fits the electrical disconnect shafts of the robots I work on, and it also opens big enough to work a worm gear hose clamp.
Cheers,
Eric

Keys to trucks, house, garage (never locked), parent's house, Dad's place of business, forklift at work, and one for the first truck I ever had on the farm. 10 in all. Two for '91 F250 4x4 on a ring with a brass swivel to attach to my belt loop. This ring is attached to a ring that holds the other 8, plus a metal "Ford Trucks" medallion, a brass plate with my name (made at work), and a small brass dinosaur. The above mentioned "first farm truck" was a bit short on "creature comforts", so it got labeled "the dinosaur", and the girl I was going with gave me the dinosaur keyfob as a gag gift.

I try to keep as few things as possible on my keyring. I have wore out too many pockets carrying a wad of keys and accessories! I have a break-apart keyring and on one end I have my Excursion key and a couple necessary keys for work. On the other end is the house key and another miscellaneous but often needed key.
But at the house we have a key ring filled with other key fobs we have collected over the years! LOL!

I stopped at a Ford Dealer in Edson Alberta and captured a leather tag with my own name on it " Jerry Ford" . Just had to stop and see. the salesmen was impressed enough with my 26 year old truck that he gave me 2 for good measure .

Scary keychains vs. Key gnomes
I have a very threatening Bass fishing pocket knife (threatening if your TSA), and of course lots of keys. I have a belief that what ever you have it must threaten the key gnomes away from your keys. I once had a shark key chain and I never lost my keys. I took it off and put them on a generic key chain and lost them all the time. My wife then bought me a pooh bear key chain (think scary bear) and my keys were safe once again.
The bass knife seems to work.

Not near as many as I used to have! After the ignition switch crapped out on me and I payed a HUGE repair bill, the mech. stated the cause as way too many keys on the key ring was causing too much stress & wear. He said that one house key, one ignition key, one door/trunk key was about all these newer vehicles can stand up to.
