Abstract
First and second jaws are arranged to hold a key for fitting the key to a lock. A first jaw includes an anvil surface and a second jaw includes a lateral cutting lip that is arranged to cut slightly into the key when the latter is clamped securely in the tool whereby to hold a key firmly in a rigid extension of the tool. The second jaw includes an integral post that fits in the usual aperture in the head of the key to help stabilize the key in the tool. Also, the tool includes an abutting edge that forms a stop in the inserted position of the key in the tool.
