easy enough if its just you , but with several crews out there in the field with equipment thats yours not theres it gets a bit more problematic. with tool $ the way it is for good ones, ya gotta do what ya can to keep what ya have. a little pink paint doesn't hurt the tool, just the ego of the thieves. and thats ok with me.

i agree with you on that .
but my approach works for me,i also failed to mention the boss furnished the tools ,but i only used my own

boss furnished the tools ,
i have found out the hard way that all too often people tend to take that as an excuse to not take care of them. when you are the boss supplying them, neon pink is fine.

how true .
i was the one running the crew ,and the boss still chewed me out over that,no matter how hard i tried to get the rest of them to do that
which is VERY understandable when your tools are your livelihood
(thats why i am so **** retentive about my tools) and ya cant put food on the table with out them
.there was only one other guy who gave a crap
