I have access to outdated designs or damaged surgical instruments (slaphammers, various types of screwdrivers, impactors, etc. I can't help but think that they can have a new life in my wood shop. I suspect they are stainless steel but have no idea of the grade(s) are. There is a wide range of surface finishes even on tools with the same model numbers. Is there a way to distinguish the various stainless steels in a home shop? Does that even matter if I'm thinking of converting them to chisels, flathead screw drivers etc? Thanks ahead of time for any ideas or experience.
