Gifts for Coworkers - Tote Bags for Machinists
You make parts with tolerances tighter than most people's patience. Work with machines that could kill you. And somehow explain why 'close enough' isn't a thing.
Why This Works
Machining is precision work that makes everything else possible. You create the parts that go in everything. These stickers honor the craft.
Your commute bag is a daily statement piece whether you like it or not. Instead of a boring black laptop bag or a free tote from a conference, why not carry something that makes people on the train do a double-take? These bags hold everything you need while broadcasting exactly how you feel about Monday mornings.
