We paint your tools at least once a year. I think it is imporant to take care of your tools. We will take a wire wheel and clean the rust and old paint off and repaint. We also cut off the foam that is wraped on the tools and replace it with hockey tape. I think the hockey tape work better than anything elese. I have found that when your gloves are wet your hands don't slip off the tool. Why not paint it shows pride and ownership for your tools. I did change paint types this year we are using Rust-Oleum Hammered Black,Red and Silver this paint had seemed to hold up longer and looks nicer. We also use a welder and brand the truck number on them. Also when we paint the tools we get a good look at each one of them for damage that we might have missed over the year. If you guys thinks this is a bed idea I am open for a reason why. Thanks TR
It's not a bad idea at all. At least the tools get LOOKED AT, paint is better than rust or neglect! I haven't tried the Rustoleum, but I will. All my tools are on loan right now to a friend who is showing them to depts. in the mountains of NC. I will have to look them over when I get them back! He will take care of them but not to my standards!
