<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">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.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">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.</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">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.) </font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">3-Manually engrave them. I have a
dremel
engraver. Will that work without weakening the socket? Any
other way to do it?</font>
<br>
<br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">4- combination of 2 and 3?
Engrave
then write over the number with a marker?</font>
<br>

<p><font size="2">My black Harbor Freight impact sockets are
engraved but it's darn near impossible to read the sizes unless
I pick up each individual socket. I wound up applying white
enamel to the engravings and then cleaning off the excess so
that the engravings remained white. I used chalk for a while
but it rubs off too easily. The paint seems to hold up pretty
well.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="2">I have a Dymo 160 label maker and I use it for
lots of things but I don't think those labels would stick very
well if the socket gets exposed to oil or grease.<br>
