Transponder Key Head

thingiverse

This is a tool for Automotive Locksmiths. Sometimes it is useful to attach transponder chip to a bare metal key during automotive key programming. Instead of using tape or simply having to hold the chip up to the key for prolonged periods of time, this simple widget will either attach over the bow (end) of the key, or have the keyblade fully inserted into it, and securely hold any of the three most common transponder chips in a natural position, close to where they would normally reside inside the keyhead. I realize this is a speciality tool. If you're an automotive locksmith and you find it useful, that's great. I need no thanks. I designed it for my own personal use and thought I would share it. Feel free to modify it, sell it commercially, or otherwise make whatever use you can of the design. If you think it needs improvement, let me know, and I'll be happy to attempt a redesign, or tweak the file slightly.
