a friend was looking at my "wall" of tools and was rather puzzeled to see that each one had my initials on it. as i get a new tool i
always engrave my ionitails on it identify it as mine so that if someone borrows it, theyknow its mine and ill get it back (hopefully), or if im
working with soeone we dont get stuff muddled up.
i just wondered if anyone else still dose this. or is this just out dated..???
what is it about me that makes me look like i know what im doing????

People don't borrow my tools. If it goes I go with it, simple as that. It comes back as soon as the job is done as well. A lesson learnt a long
time ago when I spent two days looking for a socket and then was told that it was on loan to a friend of a friend. If you need a tool, buy it or hire
it, if it's got your name on it your name goes with it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

*unless you have a generous lender, I'd say.
otherwise I would have had to pay for my riveter, tin snips, wire cutters..

May also be worth putting your post code on them as well just in case some light fingered yob takes a fancy to you tool kit, a least if the police
find them the have an idea where they came from!! Rusty

I always mark my tools up too.
I also have a shadow board in the garage with day-glo backing shapes behind the tools. You can tell at an instant what's missing that way.
This comes from 'tool-control' working on Aircraft, it's not my idea.
I am the worst for leaving stuff lying around, so it makes me put things back after use.
