Who would be interested in a black oxide run of various parts and items? I'm looking to see if this would be beneficial to me and the forum. I don't have a price yet but I'm going to ask the people I found for a sample run and see how the coating is. So who wants in? Thanks
This may be a silly question but to do a tool like the Micra or the Pulse would it have to be in parts or can they do a whole tool without disassembly ?
It is. I can do that or whoever sends it. Still waiting for a quote.
I don't fully understand. Can some one lay it out for me?

It uses specific chemicals at very specific temperatures to achieve this. This in turn creates a protective barrier for future rust and gives it a nice black coating.
Oh! Yeah I'm trying to see how much it would cost to do a run. Not doing my own tools ATM.

Black oxide is only a few molecules thick, so no real change in dimensions you and me could measure.And yes, if you disassemble the electrician, you can have the tools and springs black oxidized.
I'm going to call another company today. Let's hope for the best. Skeletool can be taken apart.

I am not interested in participating, just voice an opinion: why BO but not more durable tool coating like TiAlN? Only a few micron thick while retaining surface finish.
