Zip Tie Chuck Key Holder

IMG_3611.JPG

I needed a chuck holder for my corded drill. The cheap ones get bad reviews, or suggested repairs with Zip Ties. So I stopped and thought about it, and felt I could make one from zip ties from scratch. I've never made an Instructible before, and I did not immediately think of zip ties myself, so I thought I'd give it a try.

What You Will Need

1) A chuck key

2) 4 sturdy zip ties.

3) A drill cord you want to attach the chuck key too.

Loosely Attache Two Zip Ties to the Arms of the Chuck Key

As pictured, loop a pair of ties on either arm.

Then loop one tie to link the two across the top.

I probably could have used one tie across the arm, but they are pretty stiff, and pffft... so i used 3 instead of one...

Attach It to the Power Cord of the Drill With Another Tie

Just attach that last top loop to the power drill of the cord.

I snugged them up a bit, but ultimately left it a bit loose to move.

Trim off the excess zip tie ends.

You should have a chuck key holder that lasts a long long time.
