Let A Key Finder Gadget or an Electronic Key Finder Save The Day!
Do you ever misplace your keys? If not, I salute you. If you do, you may be interested in this little key finder gadget.
Canadians love to talk about the weather and, in this case, it is the weather that makes me long for an electronic key finder. For you see, as the seasons come and go and, even within one season, I change coats daily. The coat that I wore two days ago may not be light enough for today's unusually warm conditions so I switch. And I switch again. Perhaps I return home with my hands laden with eBay parcels, I pull off my winter gloves, unlock the door and enter barely managing to deposit all that is in my arms safely on the floor...keys included. Or in another scenario, my son retrieves something from the car and returns, saying, "Here are your keys, Mom" and deposits them...on the washer in the laundry room.
You can guess what is coming next. The morning is flying by and I have to deliver my eBay parcels to the post office but...where oh where have my little keys gone? A key finder would be an extremely practical device at this moment in helping me find my lost keys!
Of course, until December I did not know that such a device even existed. We had a telephone with a 'finder' button on it so that you could locate the handset when you set it down somewhere where it does not belong but I had no idea that they made similar gadgets for keys. Then I read an article in the newspaper and discovered "Gadgets to help find your keys."
A key finder gadget is just one name of many that I found for this little electronic device. I have also seen them called electronic key finders and, believe it or not, a key finder thing or thingy. Whatever you choose to call it, stay tuned to this page for more details about some of the key finders available to help you find your keys.

Some of these devices come with advice NOT to affix these units to pets or children!
To locate my missing keys, of course, Brenda. You're not the only one who misplaces her keys.

Are you tired of misplacing your keys? Searching for your wallet? Losing your glasses?
Then one of these key finder gadgets may be of great assistance.
Amazon's Top Ranked Key Finder is the Loc8tor Lite
Rated only by one individual, but the rating is good. This is an expensive unit but, I believe you get what you pay for and, therefore, none of the finders on this page are inexpensive.

It requires to specialty batteries which are included.
Amazon Customer Review of the LOC8TOR Lite
C.D. Foster's cat can no longer hide!
It would work just as well for keys, or anything else the tag part could be attached to. The locator part, of course, needs to be put where IT won't be lost. (It is fairly small, like a credit card.)
This would be a perfect stocking stuffer for someone who keeps misplacing his/her keys, or even briefcase or purse."

- Clever gadget! Many moons ago my 1-year-old son put my keys in a cooking pot under the cabinet. I didn't find them for months! Could have used one of these then. I had to have new keys made and I was totally perplexed until I needed that particular cooking pot again!

- I need to know where my keys are right now! Ha Ha I had a similar gadget that beeped when you whistled to find your keys but the problem was that when I played the radio in the car the dang thing just kept going off. It drove me insane. I got that one at the dollar store so I'm sure what you have here will be much more efficient than what I got. Great lens! Good original topic! 5 stars!

- This is something I've joked about adding to my husband's glasses and tools. He is *always* misplacing his glasses (only needs 'em for reading). And his tools ... they're in the house, the garage, the cellar, the garden shed, the studio, the truck ... or left somewhere in the garden! I may have found the perfect gift for Father's Day thanks to you, Brenda.
