Amazon Basics Metal Alphabet and Number 36-pc Stamp Kit with Wood Case, 4/25 inch

Excellent product

Its quite usefull to weight and mark your pieces, but some writing, works OK. In marker that will last. But the key of steel numbers and letters and the solid copper hamers is a gift, for you to have one.

hacksaw letter tops to ID marker the letters. scratching a line on the front of each letter shaft to avoid confusion. slicked up the box with a little poly. nice set now. put in the tool box. much nicer now than my old Hanson set and marks walnut and cherry well. Top value too.

I purchased these with intent to use in leather work. Was surprised when they came that they are much heaviers and stronger than I expected- good. I have found they work well for wood, leather, some plastics and aluminum.Solid steel shanks and capable of taking a ballpeen blow they can be worked hard. It took some time for me to come up with a spacing guide so that letters/numbers were evenly spaced in pleasing manner. Now find myself stamping names onto handles of kitchen tools I make for friends and family.

Great value at a very fair price. Very pleased with this purchase.

I’ve gotten two of these in already and both have terribly made storage boxes. The first one had a broken hinge and latch. I didn’t even bother taking it out of the foam for fear of it falling apart.So then I file an exchange and Amazon sends me a replacement as soon as possible. I open that one and this time the hinge that was broken on the other one is barely attached and the top of the lid is completely off and attached to the foam padding.I couldn’t give this product 1 star because the stamps are actually pretty nice although I didn’t really get to use them because I had to send them back.

Very happy with these. I’ve used them for wood, leather, metal (keys and washers), and even leather-hard ceramics. The font is easy to read, and they are easy to use. That being said, to get a decent imprint on metal, it did require a decent amount of force applied, so my only suggestion is to practice beforehand, and get yourself a decent mallet. A traditional hammer may be too much for this purpose. They all require different hammer pressures (obviously), but you kind of want to get it stamped within the first punch since every time you hammer it, the letter is bound to move slightly. So know how much pressure you have to hit it with, and just go for it.
