Ideas for hard handle screwdrivers

[kams1973]

I purchased this set of Snap-On Harley-Davidson screwdrivers for a friend that recently retired. When I received the package, the small oval Harley decals were no longer glued down. I bought him a different set, and now I’m debating using these as is or customizing them with something different. I don’t want to mess around with the Harley ovals. Any suggestions or recommendations from GJ members??

Put the ovals back, give it a quick coat of spray shellac? Reversible w alcohol, don't know what the ovals are made of.

errr.... maybe they figured people would stick those on their boxes and use the screwdrivers (without the stickers) ?

I'd glue the ovals back on. Customize a regular set.

Clean both surfaces well, removing the old glue. If they're smooth, rough them up a bit with an awl or whatever. Use 5 minute epoxy.

Done.

If they're inset--I'd use the same technique I use for the little medallions (shields) that often fall out of knife handles.

I usually put a tiny bit of glue (typically Gorilla brand super glue) in the recess and on the back of the shield and then press it for a few seconds.

The medallion might be some standard size available from a trophy or engraving store.
If it is, you could probably get name tags to mount in the same location, and have nice customized screwdrivers.

I'd glue them back on, sell them to a HD fanatic at a stupid price on Ebay, and buy something else. If you like USA hard handles, then Williams. If not, Wiha.

I found some old company Christmas ornaments. I’m going to try to cut out the logos and glue them in. As for Wiha & Williams, I already have a full set of both brands.

Glue them back on
sell them for too much money.
buy the new Williams screwdrivers, use these

Glue them back on with epoxy.
Need to clean the area as described above (I would use Isopropanol), scuff the area, clean again, and then use epoxy adhesive.
