I paint the drill chuck and the associated key the same color, red, yellow,
blue etc. . The keys are stuck to a magnet over my workbench. Not foolproof but
I can at least see which key fits which chuck. For the drill press, the key is
yellow and sticks to a magnet on the front of the drill press.

when I put a bit in the drill I'm screwed because I forget to put the
key in the drill index. Doug
