I'm on the lookout for a unique method to mark my tools so I can clearly show ownership. Ideally, I want something that can melt or brand plastic with a custom stamp, like my initials or even a business logo. I already found a pricey option at brandingirons.com that costs about $160, but I'm hoping to discover a more budget-friendly alternative. Any suggestions?

Another cool option is to use leather punches and a torch. Just clamp them together to imprint your initials or name. I found a set that’s budget-friendly on Amazon! Definitely a creative solution if you want something handmade.
You could also look into sending a logo design to someone with a hobby CNC machine—they can make you a custom stamp for relatively cheap. I've heard there are several online platforms where people offer custom work. Might be worth checking out!
If you're looking for a simple way to brand your tools, you might want to consider using a Dremel tool with a template to carve out your initials. Another affordable option is to use a lighter along with a mini branding stamp if you can find one. Just make sure you're careful with it!
This reminds me of the crazy things we used to do in high school! Just be cautious with that lighter!
Sounds like a fun project! I like that it's cheap too.
