Micro-chipped car keys cost like $50 to replace. Who wants to pay $50 to fix a broken plastic loop? Yet who can stand to see their key suffer away from his friends and family on the key-chain?

Suffer no longer, my sad, disconnected key friend. Here's a 5-minute, 5-cent fix.

Step 1: Drill a Hole in Your Key

Use a drill bit about the same size as a finishing nail (which you will use in the next step).

Step 5: Re-unite Your Cute Little Key Family
