Refurbished Broken Key Shells

Car key shells are prone to breaking due to a combination of factors, not just accidental drops. While impact on hard surfaces certainly contributes, the everyday wear and tear of normal use plays a significant role. The plastic used in these shells naturally weakens with age, making them susceptible to cracks and breaks even without a direct impact.

The Stress of Daily Use

Each time you start your car, the act of twisting the key in the ignition puts considerable stress on the point where the metal key blade meets the plastic shell. This repeated twisting action, even with specially formulated plastics, creates cumulative stress that can lead to cracks and eventually a broken key shell.
