Nail Saver

Whether you're male or female, getting keys on and off your keychain can be a pain, literally. Prying the metal ring apart is not easy without a tool. If your nails are too long, they can break. If your nails are too short, it can hurt your skin. Yesterday, my husband borrowed my house keys, and I was appalled by my current key chain.

Thats Right, a Lousy Paper Clip

Luckily, I had an orphan key chain and a handy tool I'd seen used for this exact purpose on a life hack list: perfect scenario for testing! As a small aside, all of the life hacks I've tested so far have been tricks or tools that I've actually needed. I never dreamed that on a daily basis, there would be faster, easier ways to accomplish so many tasks. I thought I'd need one maybe once a week. Does this mean I'm lacking in the common sense department?

Orphan Key Chain with an Awesome Name

Key Chain Divider (Not a Staple Remover)

The process is fairly simple. Use the "staple remover" to open the keychain, slide the keys on, twist them into place, and you're done. This life hack worked like a dream, so I'll tell the story with pictures.
