I can't even see my tool box because of all the junk in the shop ! Yes, there are stickers on it from back in the days I had a motorcycle shop. Mostly MC stuff.

I have always tried not to put stickers on my truck, except for a Papawswrench sticker. ;)

While Elroy has his fair share of vinyl stick on decals, he also has several die-cast model emblems from previously owned vehicles.
These emblems typically have studs on the back side that Elroy runs down with a threading die. Trim the stud to length and transfer the hole pattern to the tool box. Attach with a couple of 10-32 nuts on the back side.  :-*

You guys made me go snap a few quick pics

Another "Hard" emblem. Louisville Motors, "The Home of Hard Chairs"





This particular example was originally held on with double face tape. A couple of stainless flat head screws work fine.

Tool Box Stickers
« Reply #24 on: January 28, 2019, 09:18:11 AM »
Very few stickers on my box, mostly tool stickers (Proudly display the WRIGHT TOOL decal from TR) and a couple from places I and the box have been. The ones I see that are plastered with decals look a bit ghetto. In my younger days I did plaster my hardhats with decals, the safety man was always ragging on it but he was always ragging on something. I have always enjoyed hardhat decals, they show where you have been and what you have worked on. I dont put them on my hats anymore though, it dosnt have that professional look, now I just put them on my lunch box.







If I get a free tshirt from a supplier I will wear it..........out in the shed to change oil or grease something.

You get any more stickers I think you'll need a bigger hard hat.

I have had some boxes come through with some vintage stickers and I normally just leave them.  Late model boxes in nice shape, I will remove them. 

Don't think I ever put a sticker on a box but I may have.   

As to logo clothing, I have several tool truck jackets that I have bought cheap at auctions NIB, that I wear for work.  Hats, too.  Most of my other baseball style hats are freebies, so I wear them.  I likely woudn't buy a logo shirt or cap otherwise

I have had 2 hard hats since, I guess I grew out of my silliness because neither one of them have any.

The hardhat like you show has a brim around the entire circumference while some have a sort of bill. What is the difference and why one over the other?

The brimmed ones are mostly used by folks who work outside. Keeps the sun and rain off your neck.
