Happy hump day, kids! Scroll on down for Today's Tip.


EASY USE OF KEY RINGS

I always have difficulty getting keys on and off rings like the ones above. They
keep keys secure once I manage to get the keys on them, but getting them on
the ring is no small task.

I found an easy solution to the problem, though. A simple staple remover can
make the job easy as pie. (Mmmmmmm, pie! ) Use the teeth of the staple
remover to pry open the key ring and hold it open as you slide the keys on or
off. When you're finished, remove the staple remover and the ring will snap
closed - without pinching your fingers.

Great tip Pam! I use a fingernail or other tool but that's a great tool for the job.

Campy everyone hates to break a nail...

Same here. I either break a nail or pinch a finger, or both. No more!

What a good idea, I'll have to remember this for the next time I remove a key. I'm always breaking a fingernail.

Thanks, great tip, PJ! This will really come in handy and save fingers & nails, plus will go far in avoiding the *!%#$@&!* outbursts that usually accompanies adding or taking keys off my keyrings!
