We’re working through some of our requests for colors, so here is OSHA safety yellow. It’s bright, perhaps easy to spot or hard to lose, and might be easily confused with a bird, the yellow hammer. Of course somebody in Indy suggested Pacer blue for lettering (Pacers are the local NBA team for those that don’t follow such activities). Black is another suggestion for the lettering. I do like the contrast between our blue and the yellow.

Apparently, we'd tried to make this color years ago. Pigments are better today, as is the equipment. We're itching to pull the trigger on this color. We like it.

Thoughts? Any feedback would be great.

I Like it with either blue or black lettering, that should be a good contrast! Thanks for listening :)

I like the blue lettering. Black will be too much bumble-bee for me personally.

That yellow is sweet. I like the black lettering idea. Only problem is, what hammer to get in yellow? TC needs to keep expanding their product offerings to new strange places (maxi-min) as they unveil new colors.

The Maxi-mins have been flying off the tool trucks and our back orders for standard colors are so large that it will be ages before the Maxi-min would be available in a new color.

There seems to be an equal voice right now between black and blue lettering.

Blue here.

That yellow really pops without being annoying. Looks good to me! I'm juuuuuuust about full up on TC's, but I'd definitely consider yellow hammers in the future.

I've got some blue and green, will be picking up some red and would definitely be up for some yellow.

Here's a first sample with white lettering. Anybody have some thoughts on the white on yellow? Yea or nay?

I was more thinking of a Leprechaun! Go Irish! They are located in Indiana!!:beer::thumbup:



I just visited the Golden Dome this month... My bro-in-law just got a job there. I could rock an Irish BFH...

I'd say black, snap on has the safety yellow with black lettering and I think it looks awesome, it'll match my snap on mg725 perfect!
