And that is when I would say no thank you for another set you can come unlock and start everything for me. That's the price of doing business things get broken and things get lost.

Key stays with the machine .
Sure way to loose a key is put it in your pocket & take home every day .
This....
Have a pipline company that rents a lot from me when they work in the area, keys are always left on the equipment.
The boss has laughed his ass off more than once when I re-arranged the lot to mow the grass.

That sounds cheap some of the euro equipment like our wheel harvester are like the pickups with a chipped key for the door and only two fobs to get in.

Another thing to think about is when you get a big set of keys hanging in the ignition, the weight juggling around can ruin the switch. A buddy that works in a larger auto shop says they replace about 3 switches a week usually at 60,000 to 80,000 miles in a smooth riding car. They always get a big set of keys plus toy junk hanging on the original key ring.

That looks like Depco Products keys, that's where I purchased all my keys and master sets. > http://www.depcoproducts.com/

I have always subscribed to the idea that as the operator I supplied my key's. It would be a little like a wrench showing up with no tools. When I go to work for a company I acquire keys for the machines I run, if I don't already own them. Some companies supply them others don't, takes a day or two to get them if I have to buy it. Either way it becomes mine. If you need it back, you can keep it I will go get my own. Your gate key or shop key or other security related items I will happily return to you. My key rings live in the car on carabiners and whatever keys I need on the project are on the "working set" I am using at the moment and they are clipped to a loop on my vest. Each key is on a small ring to make its removal and use easy.
