| Best way to permanently color metal screwdriver bits for easy identification. |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Psi:
I have collected a lot of loose screwdriver bits and am looking for a nice way to color code them for quick identification. eg, maybe one color for hex and another for torx. or Philips vs pozi etc. Does anyone know what might work for this. Maybe some liquid I can dip the bits into that will color the metal in various colors? Best idea I can think of atm is a very light spray paint. Just a light mist of paint, not enough to add any meaningful thickness. I have tried to simply sort them but it never works for very long. A color code would be much better. Any ideas? |

Mask the ends so you just get a paint band around the middle ? |

Looks like Wera use a plastic band like a cable marker, but I think the bit is thinned so it will still fit a holder |

I like the way Wera does this. A cheap homemade solution, if you just need the type and not the size, may be to use small pieces of colored heatshrink. |

there are brother cartridges for stamp printers that accept heat shrink tubes in it. but they don't have much colors for them only white and yellow |
