Method of applying non-slip coating to tools and resulting product

A tool having an antislip surface on a working element thereof, said antislip surface comprising a coating of diamond-like grit particles having a particle size of from about 0.003 to about 0.010 inches, and a high temperature metallic brazing alloy containing more than 40% cobalt or nickel bonding said grit particles to said element, with more than 35% of the volume of said particles being surrounded and supported by said metallic brazing alloy.

The non-slip tool of claim 15 wherein said tool is a screwdriver.

Method of applying a non-slip coating to the working surfaces of a screwdriver comprising the steps of providing an alloy steel screwdriver with a tip having dimensions less than standard dimensions, adhering a layer of a mixture of abrasive particles and particles of a brazing alloy to said tip, the thickness of said layer being sufficient to provide dimensions on said tip substantially equal to standard dimensions, the size of said abrasive particles being in the order of 0.003 to 0.010 inches, and heating the applied layer at a temperature sufficient to cause bonding of said brazing alloy between said tip and said abrasive particles projecting from said fused brazing alloy.
