1 - Why Engrave your tools?
Kicking things off with a focus on theft deterrence, it's a well-acknowledged pitfall within the industry that tools have a tendency to vanish.
Tools that bear your name or a distinctive identifier through engraving are markedly less appealing to those with sticky fingers. Essentially, this is akin to affixing a glaring "difficult to offload" label on them. The act of personalization serves as an inherent security measure, ensuring your tools are readily recognizable and, as a result, less prone to being stolen.
"I just borrowed it"
Shifting the lens to the realm of site efficiency, the scene is all too familiar: a hectic workplace where tools are indiscriminately scattered, leading to inefficiencies as time is squandered identifying rightful ownership.
Here, personalized tools slice through the disorder. They enable swift identification and use, facilitating uninterrupted workflow and minimizing idle time—a boon for any tradesperson seeking to optimize job site productivity.
Engraving is more than just a theft deterrent
However, the benefits transcend mere utility; they extend into the domain of professional pride. Personalized tools are a testament to your dedication to your trade, signaling that you're more than a run-of-the-mill worker; you're a committed professional who values their craft.
This attention to detail not only earns the admiration of clients but also establishes a benchmark of excellence and organization on the job site, traits deemed indispensable within the trades. There's a lot of stereotypes in the trade, as I'm sure you have seen
The element of sentimental value also merits attention. Tools are not merely functional apparatuses; they accompany you on your vocational odyssey. Imbuing them with your name or a heartfelt inscription bestows them with a deeper significance, elevating them to the status of potential heirlooms. They embody more than utility; they encapsulate a fragment of your professional narrative.
Finally, in addressing safety concerns, personalized tools play a pivotal role in preventing the misuse of equipment. Clear markings facilitate the correct selection of tools for specific tasks, thereby diminishing the likelihood of mishaps.

Laser Annealing
Unlike etching or rotary engraving, annealing minimises the amount of material removed from the tool. This means that tools don't lose their structural integrity and have a higher degree of corrosion resistance compared to deeper engraving.

Colour finishes created by molecular changes to the metal
Choose from a range of different finishes, which are achieved by specific parameters, and do not contain any ink, paint or other material. The oxide layer formed on the metal's surface can act as a thin film. Depending on its thickness, it can interfere with light in a way that causes certain colors to be reflected. This is known as thin film interference.
