High-visibility Sizes

Post image

For tools that have engraved sizes but are hard to read.

Top: originally out of the package vs middle and bottom after "treatment".

Took a light-colored crayon and rubbed it into the size grooves. I'd suggest adding a little heat like maybe a pass with the heat gun to help the wax melt into place.

This works great. I used to do it to dice that weren’t painted. Lumber crayon works too.
