Columbia Marking Tools , have introduced a new compact, cost effective solution for marking high quality dot peen marks on steel, aluminum, brass parts and keys and locks sets. Called the “Handy Andy™”, this pneumatic bench top marker has been designed for use by racing and job shops. No longer does the user have to worry about “swapping parts” and getting the right parts back. Now, the user can be assured that who, what or where the part was made stays permanently with the part.

Fully programmable, the Handy Andy can automatically apply serial numbering, date codes, job numbers, lot numbers, and even company logos. The PC software works with Windows^® 95/98/2000/NT4/XP and is easy to understand and operate. Simple pull-down menus, icons, hot keys, text orientation control and point and click features minimize training time.
