    How to get a broken key out.

    Broke off my key in my truck tool box. Any tricks on getting it out?

    Take the lock out and tap it on a table until it gets to the end once there pull with tweezers. Thats what i've done.

      Can you take a small drill bit and drill a hole in the key and then use a small scew into that hole to pull it out? You might also be able to take the lock out and take it a part. or push the key out form the inside. Not sure what your lock looks like or if you have access to it.

        If you can take it apart, that would be the easiest way. does the whole lock come out of the tool box?

          Call a locksmith...

          Look at the bright side:
          If you figure a way to get it out, you could also put that in your general store as well...

                    Too funny! Had no idea how to help, but seeing the OP and knowing the crew, knew something funny would be said. Good one CB!

                      if you're gonna have to get a new key anyway...might as well get another lock....drill it out if you can't get to it with tweezers/needle nose pliers

                          You have a spare key!

                          Do some Aggie Engineering, you have some super glue?

                          Can you give those bolts a little "lefty loosey" and see if the entire lock comes out?
