It’s interesting but I’ve been using an engraver for so long. The engraving is sloppy but it’s quick and there to stay. I’ve have knives and other high wear items that lost the factory etching on the over time.
I guess the only way engraver could be better is if it could be done via a cnc machine. Although cnc engraving a wrench could be difficult unless you can get a really flat surface.
I think most people think this is like a quick laser etch this is using edm and should go deeper then they do with laser. In a pinch if you spray a tool with salt water it should work for the fluid they use if my memory is correct.
Hope you guys were safe from the recent tornado that ripped through that area. Does marking your tools with that machine have any impact on the tools warranty?? I bet you wished you had this when Wally was working there.
thanks i have been thinking about this since it came out but the adds and reviews dont say any thing medical warnings(i got a defib in my chest)found out from mr o. from south main auto that i cant use a minni-ductor cuz of the defib. love to know if it has any warningss on it,thats and please keep the vids coming.
@@cooter.malone it going ok it's not as bad as the city the shit tickets are still available LoL but each day is different LoL We have had a few stores run right out of meet but they get restocked
A grinder will remove engravings so a thief will do what they will but this just looks better than engraving but it’s pretty deep in the chrome playing so I would imagine you would have to run through it
Too much to mix hold this 5seconds buy this n that just too many variables to do. Just use an engraver draw your initials and end of story... No mixing no pumping. Folks just keep it simple. No-go on this tool 😅😅😅😅
Chris fix has a video on how do this without the expensive machine
I'm using Chris Fix's technique on my tools. Using a battery charger that is used to jump start combines- should do the trick!!

I'm guessing the arts and crafty people could get a lot of use out of that too
Glad you got in spot where you and Bill won't rip each other off there some places I had to lock box when it leave my sight
Just wondering how long it will last though. Looks like it could be prone to abrasion. Keep us updated with long term durability

Thanks Clay !!
Looks like a potential side gig how much for the fluids
I’m not sure. It can’t be much
Mr. Clay,
Great video I was wondering how good it worked. Y'all be safe.

No it Doesn’t hurt warranty. It didn’t do anything but rain a lot here we got lucky
@@KoonTrucking Glad you're all safe!!!
How 'bout a curve surface such as a socket?
Yep just have to roll it
Looks good. Very nice logo
Hmm. thinking of changing my name to yours. Thanks for the tip.

Good video and review
Any chance we can get the exact material that stencil was made out of, or link to a video showing us how to make one?
Good video have a great one and stay safe 👍
It probably wont rust either like engraving does some times.
Looks interesting
@@cooter.malone hello cooter how is things with you

Pretty nifty tool
By far a better Idea then taking a engraver or a grinder to some expensive tools.
Is it etched deep enough to keep them from painting over
No it isn’t very deep
Can you etch sockets with this or other tools that don’t have a flat surface ?
Yes you can roll it on there be best to use the plate or attach ground wire directly to it
so, how do you write letters?
Hey Mr. Clay,
I don't think Wild Bill would mind if you got me one of his beautiful green swivel head ratchets. Lol jk. Great video!!
Cool I’ll buy it if it’s less than $100
So it's just a handheld chemical etcher. But it comes with stencils lol.
how can i mark this tool then
Will this work on plastic, I want to use this on my dewalt tools and batteries all my electrical tools etc ?
Nope it has to conduct to make it work
Electrolytes… its what the plants crave
That’s cool but I don’t think I could do that to a snap on tool, that would be like carving a gold Rolex watch haha
It’s a tool? Most of mine were engraved until I got this so now everybody gets a stamp. Just theft detent
Well if you don’t do it to your snap on tools someone who steals or borrow your tool will put their name on it! Seen it happen to my tool!!
You scotch tape the stencil?? 😂
Some 3M green fiber and bye bye etching

Do you still recommend it? How has it been working? @koontrucking
I engraved a bunch of stuff and haven’t used it since then but the engraving last really well or ai should say etchings last
It is pretty aggravating to get set up right but once you have it it’s easy to use
Thank you for responding Clay. Appreciate the feedback. Love your channel
The PEACE sign is the Footprint of the American Chicken HA!!!
It's only for guys? What about women?
Don't waste your money and time with this video and tool
4:34 thats a really rotten banana.
