    Typically we paint them so we know they are ours. Mine are blue and white kinda like a cloudy sky. Most just grab some marking paint from the gang box and put some type of mark so they stand out.

    They aren't cheap. A new spud ranges from $40 - $100. And vintage ones like Jimmy's run upwards to $500 each.

    You are correct. They are craft specific wrench.

    I understand they are expensive but If i dropped it I wouldn't want to admit it was mine!

    My brother went to school for A+P Air frame and Power plant. One of the things he was told was that you don't mark your tools. If a Jetliner crashes and they find your screwdriver in the fuel tank...

    Lol. That's why you don't drop it.

    This is more of my idea of a spud wrench.

    Although I use one of these more often.
