I have had to do this in the field (oil and gas patch) since the boys seem to like 'borrowing' the closest tools and don't use their own. I switched to pink buckets, pink camo tools and I paint everything pink. they got wise to me and brought a can of black spray paint to go over my pink. Now I just lock things up. I didn't mind them using them, but when they'd dropped my 2# sledges down the 'hole' more than 3 times, I got over having to supply that subcontractor any more tools. It definitely was easier to find my tools in a snow storm though.

I'd like to throw another option out there. A cheap wood burning tool is easy to use, and if you burn deeply, it's very difficult to sand off, and even under heavy paint, the changed texture is difficult to hide. A cheap engraving tool can do the same on solid metal tools
