This might sound a bit anal, however i broke my finishing trowel yesterday, so been and got a 13" MT gold.
A while ago i was looking into custom knife making and came across a homemade etching kit, which basically uses salt water and a 9v or 12v batery. So i made one which was cheap and easy enough, last night marked up the trowel for no other reason than i like clean tools and gadgets, i suppose it serves as a bit of a deterent also maybe for the lads that work on site.
For some reason i cant load pics on here, so the link should take you to the album where you can see the result.
If anyones as anal as me and wants to do their kit ill gladly post up the process which is simple enough. The etching goes about 1-2mm into the metal so doesnt affect the performance of the trowel but would be quite dificult to get out.
