For those of us that work on equipment for a living a set of keys like this is a MUST HAVE item. Typically when I get a call that a machine is broken down the owner/operator is on another site working so I can't expect him to drop everything simply to come over and start a machine for me. Not to mention the times I've been on a muddy site after hours/on the weekend and found out I my 32,000lb service truck was stuck when I got ready to leave. It's alot easier to have a $5 key and use one of the machines on the site and pull my truck out myself than to pay $500 for a tow bill....Like one of the other posts said though for any machine made over say 20-25 years ago I don't even need a key.... Just think when you see a service truck going down the highway with all the bin door locks on them there aren't but a few companies making the locks for them also. I used to work at a body mfg and had a set of keys then to open the doors on any body they made. It wouldn't be quite as easy to get a set of keys to fit all of locks for the different lock mfgs as it is the equipment but it is possible. If all this weren't bad enough, think about all the people who put high dollar lock sets on the doors in their house...right beside a 6' solid glass picture window or something similar.... In the end all a lock does is to keep an honest man honest.
