A little spray paint to denote metric or standard? I've seen socket
sets and wrench sets that came from the factory with different colors
to denote English or metric.

I agree. I have used nail polish for that purpose very successfully. I
can instantly tell my metric from my standard wrenches and sockets.
Tough and durable as well; I did it twenty years ago, and not one of

Many years ago when I worked as an electrician, I would scribe an
"+" or "-" in the plastic end of my Klien screwdrivers so I could
tell the difference between a flat blade or Phillips. Now Klien is
doing it at the factory with a little white paint in the groves.
