Black hand tools.

[Jweebothee]

Ok so tried searching but, as usual, search function ***** on Tapatalk, but as the title states, does any tool company other than Stanley make all black hand tools? Other than impact of course. If any one has links to prior topics on this please post them up.... thanks.

I've got a 200 something piece set in black from Stanley. I despise them and can't wait to get rid of them. They're way too easy to lose on my tray when I'm working.

Husky used to sell a set with gold size markings

I have two black chrome Husky sets and I think Duralast or Autocraft does/did. Use the safari/internet on your phone and not tapatalk. I only use tapatalk to post pictures. Go to google and type in "black sockets garage journal" Here's one link that popped up http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=325848

Industrial finish or just black tools?

In my experience most every tool line that caters to industrial has black tools. Are you differentiating between BO and black colored as Mcfarland asks?

lg
no neat sig line

cool thanks everyone, and as for the questions about black oxide or black colored. It doesnt really matter, just wondering what was out there, I just simply do not like chrome haha, again thanks for the replies everyone, enjoy your day

One of the guys I work with has a yellow case ~200 pc set of Dewalt 'black chrome' ratchets, sockets, wrenches. He likes them. Says he bought them to be different than everyone else's so they wouldn't get mixed up. It's probably a good thing too because he's the only one there who is constantly leaving his tools laying around trying to lose them, but at a glance everyone knows whose they are.

Proto makes black finish wrenches. I see them listed on Ebay frequently.

Older (WWII era) stuff from a few manufacturers has a "black" finish - I have Walden and Duro Chrome sets that could be considered "black".

snap on, proto, williams, and I'm sure most other industrial brands all serve up "government" finishes in Black-Oxide (for when the feds don't want to pay for chrome bath).

pretty easy to find. some may prefer matte or satin chrom as well (euro style).

black paint and black "chrome" I think are signs you are buying lower quality tools in general and not for serious users. of course, any tools can be used seriously. but you get my point.

The black husky and Stanley sets are the same from what I've seen. I have a black husky socket set, and some of their wrenches.. they work just fine for what I use them for. I try to keep them to use on indoor "house" projects - so I at least have one set that doesn't get dirty. The case ***** on the socket set.. the sockets on the top half of the case ALWAYS fall out when I open it.

Yeah I know a lot of people do not like them, I know I'm in the minority that does, I just do not like shinies, lol do not like chrome at all in any form. But thanks to all that replied

They do look nice, but that shiny chrome is so much easier to find when dropped lol.

I have seen Black Westward wrenches also.

Why do you want black?

I just like black, no other reason,

Sometimes you have to go black because of the work environment requirements.

I forgot Proto has black ratchet wrenches and black oxide ratchets. These items just popped up on Amazon Warehouse when I as looking up Proto and I thought about this thread. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000LY5AKU/?tag=atomicindus08-20
