Marking tools- who's stuff is who's?

Paint, it gets right into those small cracks and crevices. Each worker has a colour and there is no need to cover everything just a small spray inside a handle, Chanel, screw gate On your crabs. You can’t get rid of every bit of paint.
Other than that, don’t touch others gear. Not always convenient when your on a job with others.

i went with electrical tape. easy, cheap and effective. i gave each guy their own roll and color so they can mark their tools as the get new ones. i liked the color coded buckets like [MENTION=1736]JfromtheD[/MENTION] said so I did that too. he’s my hero

We engrave everything but not with the employee name. We have “tool sets” instead. We named them Earth, Sky, Water, and Fire, etc… That way each employees is issued a set of tools and if they leave I can issue them to someone else without changing the engraved name.

You could also give each guy a different colored electrical tape.

I used to work at a large WC company before i started on my own. everything was engraved and things that were not the everyday use would have to be signed in/out.
If an employee lost something they would have to pay the replacement cost.
If it were something as simple as coloured electrical tape, whats to stop Joe from grabbing Johns gear and taking his tape off and putting his coloured tape on.

If he needs it that bad he can have it.

When you did the quoting in that post I was somehow attributed with both quotes the second one is not mine.

I overlook his being from NY, because of all he did to help out his fellow firefighters around 9/11.

Nah, I had a very “earthy” type guy working for me at the time and he suggested it. I was going to do boring numbers like 123, 246, 369, etc…

Caleb, how did this idea work out for you?

[c_wininger]

worked great. although we are running out of individual colors as the staff grows. so we’ll probably start doing double colors, ie. “joe is red/white; bill is green/blue”

At my old job we were a signed a set of equipment. You were responsible for your stuff, if you lost it or whatever. They would take it out of your check.
