Marking a chainsaw

[A Pettersen-Firewood&Chip]

Does anyone know any smart and permanent ways to mark your saws/equipment in order to help identify should the worst happen?

Paint it pink and with some flowers over it.

Was thinking about that but want to know if there are any other ideas before going pink

Scratch your name/number, etc into the plastics or engrave the metal with a small do grinder.

All my power tools have unique patterns of indents made in the largest plastic body parts with a 5mm drill bit, photographed and put on Arbsafe.

 

I can put up an example if it helps.

I wouldn't put it on. If someone copies same pattern. Who's is who's.

Send a pm to the OP.

 

Also in the case of my husky saws. You could steal one. Buy new fuel tank and top cover and still sell on for a profit.

Cheers for the tips, i wish there was a small cheap tracking device that would survive the intense extremes the chainsaws create i shall be out painting and marking

Generally stolen saws etc already have a new home before there nicked and you tend to find that the people that buy them know damn well there stolen so aren't gonna be worried about a few numbers or marks there's a few arb outfits local to us that have openly admitted that they own stolen saws chippers etc and they really don't seem to give a damn..... Oddly their also the same guys that never seem have anything stolen!

Thanks for the good intent but I can virtually guarantee no-one would have the same pattern or positioning. Pics are close-ups; make, model, serial no. are recorded separately.

No marks on fuel tanks or top covers!

 

Cheers.
