Key Handle Cover
The key handle cover is a simple but critical component of your car key. It encloses the wide end of the key that serves as the item’s handle. Made of rugged material, such as plastic or rubber, the key handle cover protects the metal end from corrosion caused by exposure to air and moisture. It also improves your grip, reducing the risk of the key slipping from your fingers due to slippery moisture.
