Milwaukee Impact Black Out: Ritz Dye

[@erik34]

That turned out awesome. Reminds me of the blacked out Makita set from a few years back. Thanks for the content.

[@djcustomsllc]

Appreciate the feedback man! I have that setup - may have inspired the project a little lol

[@KovertMecha]

That is super clean and easier than i thought it would be

[@djcustomsllc]

I appreciate it! Too easy to have BA tools

[@ForcedFoxbody]

Guess I'm going to try this on my new DeWalt DCF89. Would look so good

[@salvatoredeangelo1697]

Oh wow super cool video. I’m a die hard fan of DJ customs. Making me go 6 to midnight with this video

Thanks for everything guy..Happiest New Year!

[@djcustomsllc]

Hey man! Thank you for watching - likewise on the New Year

[@victorhoyt4352]

There's a guy on ebay who sells these blacked out power tools.Hes got all kinds of different choices. He does a great job on them too!

[@djcustomsllc]

That’s awesome.. thank you for the watch 🫡

[@TheOnlyTrippie]

man id love to win that milwaukee ratchet. I need one so bad but cant afford it. Got a lot of projects I want to do with my kids and that tool would be killer. Loved the vid man! You got a sub!

[@djcustomsllc]

I just picked up the ratchet from HD tonight! I’ll be throwing out a video on the tear down/dye process on that tool as well! I appreciate the sub very much brotha - I hope you guys had a great holidays!

[@codysikels4156]

Isn’t it RIT dye?

[@JJ-lu6mg]

Yes RIT dye is what you want to use. They actually make a synthetic RIT dye that works even better, but both do work. They also make RIT “dye more” this version works the best when I dye my G10 knife scales, which is a similar type of plastic that is used on these tool housings.

[@djcustomsllc]

Yeah you right

[@victorhoyt4352]

​@@JJ-lu6mgso, which one is the best out of the 3 then? The dye more or the synthetic? Thanks!!

[@k1sfd1974]

Spellcheck strikes again! Dun dun duuuun. 😂

[@JJ-lu6mg]

@@victorhoyt4352 the Rit Dye More is the best for plastics.

[@kevinklepp5894]

Awsome job totally a different tool

[@djcustomsllc]

Thank you sir! The ratchet is up next! Going to do something a little different for it - keep an eye out!

[@ryanmacewen511]

I used to dye RC car parts black, etc back in the day 1980's. Team Associated parts came in natural ivory nylon, yuck! Only issue was how deep you can get dye to penetrate (boiling). Great video. I did the same thing to PC case parts and bezels in late 90's and early 2000's. Every maker had a different beige! Yuck. Now everything is available in black. lol

[@djcustomsllc]

Same here! I dyed some Traxxas chassis back in HS but we never boiled them.. just soaked them for a few hours and called it good and they turned out great! We’ll have to see how well these tools hold the color

[@syn4057]

Don’t like the Milwaukee red. Great video. Black also hides the grease stains

[@djcustomsllc]

Absolutely!

[@henweaver]

Wow, that looks amazing!

[@djcustomsllc]

Thank you sir! Good little DIY if you’re bored!

[@sandoutlaw85]

Looks badass

[@djcustomsllc]

Thank you sir!

[@hyperpickle7906]

how bad is the hand stains after using them after you died them.

[@matthewlee6177]

Does the white rub off easily?

[@djcustomsllc]

Probably, working on a better process for the logo

[@mictreful]

Love that idea

[@djcustomsllc]

Thank you! Great diy if you’re bored

[@victorhoyt4352]

I saw another video use acetone in their process. I guess you don't need that? I wonder why the Milwaukee logo turned black. Yhe guy who sells them on eBay doesn't paint them and they still stay whiteish. It seems there are different methods to do this.

[@djcustomsllc]

Nope, didn’t use acetone.. not really sure what the benefit would be unless the purpose is to clean it really well.. I know that acetone will melt some plastics.. but I could have been to open up the plastic better for bonding??

[@brianvisek]

looks great

[@djcustomsllc]

Thank you sir!

[@wYatt121509]

Now try some fiber laser engraving on the case. Pretty cool results though.

[@djcustomsllc]

Definitely might grab one of those cheap harbor freight engravers and see how deep the dye penetrated the shell. Might be some sweet designs in the making

[@wYatt121509]

@@djcustomsllc That is a great idea.

[@DET_C0RD]

Wonder if it would work on icon ratchet grips.

[@djcustomsllc]

Might be worth a try!

[@Eddy63]

Darth Vader would be proud Nice job , looks great ... Thx

[@djcustomsllc]

Absolutely man! Great little DIY to set your tools apart 🫡

[@georgezhou7961]

🎉 good video I want the 3/8 😅

[@djcustomsllc]

Appreciate it brotha! Just make sure you’re subbed and you’ll be in the game 🫡

[@tazzthedoodle7861]

When the impact gets scratched are the scratches red?

[@djcustomsllc]

Theoretically it shouldn’t because the dye bites into the plastic when boiling - but I will be testing it out

Scratch test?

[@djcustomsllc]

I will be doing a little durability testing on it! Maybe I’ll make a short vid of a month in the field

[@rickyperkins232]

Just get a FLEX impact wrench.

[@djcustomsllc]

I’m always down for new tools - but the company I work for uses Milwaukee so I just follow suit with my power tools

[@rickyperkins232]

@djcustomsllc understood

[@CaseyA.]

That’s pimpin

[@djcustomsllc]

Thank you! Very easy DIY!

[@adammendoza3503]

If you want the black ones, don’t paint them, just get them from the UK.. there all black over there… 😂😂😂

[@djcustomsllc]

I did a little research.. looks like everything they send to the UK is black with red accents. Pretty neat

[@nolost1635]

What a waste of time

[@djcustomsllc]

Why so?

[@syn4057]

Just because you don’t like to customize your tools, doesn’t make it a waste of time to anyone else. You read the title, you should have know what you were going to watch. Don’t like, don’t watch, don’t comment; simple.
