    Jug

    Remove grease, oil, and dirt from your concrete floors.
    Etching Cleaner—Etching cleaners prepare unfinished concrete for coating and patching. Often used in warehouses, light manufacturing facilities, and machine shops, they leave a rough, etched finish for strong coating adhesion. Pour these cleaners onto your floor and scrub with a stiff-bristle brush or broom.

    Mark surfaces with handwritten messages, designs, or logos. Draw your message on a stencil sheet using a scriber or other sharp point, then place the stencil on your metal marking surface. To transfer the message, wet the pad on the etcher with etching solution and press it over the stencil, then touch the grounding wire to your marking surface to activate the solution. Marks are black. Use the included DC voltage adapter clip to make clear and frosted marks.

    Stainless Steel Body

    Freehand permanent markings on a variety of materials. These engravers are often used to mark tools and equipment for easy identification and tracking. Adjust the stroke speed to control the depth of your marks. Low stroke speed creates shallow lines and is best for soft materials, such as plastic and wood. High stroke speed creates deep lines and is best for hard materials, such as metal.
    Stainless Steel Body—More durable than plastic to stand up to wear over time. These engravers last longer and won’t get damaged in your toolbox.
    Carbide—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.
    Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.
    Diamond Tip—The most durable tip material. Diamond tips are the best choice for marking extra-hard materials, such as ceramic, glass, and stone.

    Deep Marking Air-Powered Engravers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Engravers. Deep Marking Air-Powered Engravers.
    Our fastest, deepest-cutting handheld engravers create marks that stay crisp and clear, even with wear and tear over time. With 30,000 strokes per minute, they can also make deep markings on hard materials. However, you can’t adjust their high stroke speed, so they may be too fast for shallow marking and engraving legibly on soft materials. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.
    Carbide Tip—Hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.

    Air-Powered Engraver Kits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Engravers. Air-Powered Engraver Kits.
    Use these kits for everything from permanently marking materials to cleaning and finishing surfaces. They come with all you need to get started, including an engraver, four types of tips, and a tip holder. The engraver is more powerful than an electric option, so you can make the same markings in fewer passes and with less effort. A continuous dial lets you adjust the stroke speed to control the depth of your marks. Low stroke speed creates shallow lines and is best for soft materials, such as wood and plastic. High stroke speed creates deep lines and is best for hard materials, such as metal. When swapping in another tip style, you must secure it in the engraver with the included tip holder. These engravers need lubrication to work properly.
    Carbide Tip—The standard choice for engraving a variety of materials. Carbide tips are hard enough to mark metal and can also be used on plastic and wood.
    Steel Tip—Ideal for engraving soft materials, such as plastic, wood, and leather. Steel tips are less durable than carbide tips.
    Angled-Chisel Tip—A great choice for cleaning weld beads.
    Flat Tip—Grind these tips into a shape that works for your application.
    Flat-Chisel Tip—Best for scaling and deburring.
