First, why do they not sell metric impact sockets sets with all sizes? I
just spend about an hour, with a chart to figure out what brand sockets,
and extra ones I needed to make up a full set.
They don't even all skip the same sizes. Some skip 16mm, others 20mm etc.
I know that some sizes are the same as sae, but what if I don't have an
sae set? Just wondering.
On to the REAL question.
All of my sockets sets that I have are awesome. They aren't to fat to
prevent getting into spaces, but don't break when the gorilla (me) turns
them. HOWEVER, most of them are losing their labeling. I don't want to
have to buy new sets that are engraved, so I wanted some feedback on my
options.
1-Sticker labels-do they last? I actually use colored tape on a few of my
most standard sizes so I can quickly find them, but that needs to be
re-applied every few years.
2-Markers? Are there markers than can write on these things that will
last a while? (If I have to re write them as it wears off, that isn't an
issue, as long as it isn't too often.)
3-Manually engrave them. I have a dremel engraver. Will that work without
weakening the socket? Any other way to do it?
4- combination of 2 and 3? Engrave then write over the number with a
marker?
5- any ideas I missed?
Thanks.
