Hi Jack,
Maybe some of us are getting older and the near vision is not quite what it
used to be. :-)
Actually I can identify most fractional sockets and nuts from across the room,
but I have a much harder time with the metric fasteners...
best,
doug

What. . . you guys don't just look at the nut/bolt and grab the right socket
every time? <grin/sarcasm>

I have a lot of various sockets and wrenches that have stamped markings
which are hard to read when your under the car with low lighting. I
wondering if anyone has "blackened" their tools to make the markings
more readable, similar to the etched easy to read sockets. I was
thinking either use liquid electrical tape or gun blueing. Not sure
either would be durable on a chromed tool. Has anyone done this?
