TOOLSPACE USB Rechargeable Engraving Pen Cordless Engraver Micro Electric Engraving Pen Mini DIY Engraving Tool Kit for Detail Metal Glass Ceramic Plastic Jewelry Engraving

Love this product, definitely worth the money, it worked great on metal

Delivery is really good,, the engraving pen arrived earlier than expected. At the first glance, it looks very good, nice packaging, comfortable grip and very easy to use. Coming with several mold plates, will definitely make some work easier. For beginners like me, it should be a very good and cost-effective item. Anxious to use it for my engraving shortly.

Packaged complete with engraver, charging cable, two spare engraving tips, two packs of various dog tags (10 in total), set of stencils, and zippered bag to hold it all.The dog tag shapes are as follows; 1. dog bone, 2,3. different puzzle pieces, 4. military dog tag shape with bottle opener, 5. cat head, 6. circle, 7. oval, 8. long rectangle, 9. long rectangle with star cut out, and 10. heart shape.The five thick, rigid stencil cards include; 1. Numbers and math symbols, 2. Capital letters, 3. Currency symbols, ?, peace sign, %, @ and &, 4. Smiley and frowny faces, cloud, snowflake, snowman, and trademark symbol, 5. Jagged line, wavy line, various geometric symbols, more math symbols, star, arrow, check mark, and !.All of these stencil cards have a hole in the top left corner, so I took advantage of this and found an old key ring to connect them all together and make them easier to use. I am positive that I will find other uses for this nice stencil set beyond engraving.I recommend securing your work with either a vice or double sided tape (or single sided folded back on itself) to stick it down to your work surface. I secured one of the included dog tags to my work surface with packing tape folded back and that worked just fine.Unless you are really good with an engraver I recommend using a straight edge or other guide. Stencils work fairly well as long as you angle the engraver towards the outside of each individual stencil. Try to get each line with the first pass for the crispest result. I tried to freehand cat eyes on the included cat head tag with disastrous results. I did have the tool set to high speed which, I suspect, was a contributing factor. I recommend using it on low speed for the crispest lines.In my opinion, one of the biggest advantages to this tool is it's cordless nature. My last experience with an engraver was before cordless tools were a thing and I remember the worst thing was the cord pulling the engraver in a direction I did not want it to go. This eliminates that problem.The only issue I encountered was the tendency of the tool to heat up near the tip on high speed in just a few minutes (too hot to hold). It tended to stay cool a lot longer on low speed (10-15 minutes). But, in all fairness, that should be enough time to complete your work in parts. I recommend engraving a few lines at a time, then turning unit off while you rotate your work and reposition.In conclusion, I believe that this tool would be perfect for engraving serial numbers or names for property identification. If used for more artistic pursuits, I think a lot of practice will be in order.

I use a corded engraver all the time to engrave I.D numbers on two-way radios I sell. I figured I'd try a cordless engraver thinking it would be more convenient, but it just doesn't work for my needs. Unlike corded engravers that constantly vibrate when turned on, you need to apply and keep continuousness pressure on the tip of this engraver before it will start vibrating and allow you to engrave. The second you let up on the pressure, the tip stops vibrating. With softer/pourous metal and plastics, the tip digs in too fast and doesn't allow it to "float" across the surface like a corded engraver. I tried etching the bottom of an aluminum can, a plastic sport drink bottle and it worked way better because the surfaces were either harder or smooth enough that the tip would "float" across the surface. I included pictures showing the mess I made trying to use this engraver as well as the look when using a corded engraver. Keep in mind it took me 6-8 tries to draw what you see when using this engraver because the tip kept digging in and getting stuck. I watched a few videos of beginners using this engraver and encourage others to do the same after reading this review. I sort of knew what I was in for in buying this engraver, but hoped for the best knowing I wasn't trying to do anything fancy. Watch how people have difficulty getting the engraver to work because of the pressure you need on the tip before it starts vibrating and etching, and look at how sloppy some of their work is. Then realize how hard it will be to etch anything in a delicate or fancy fashion knowing you need so much pressure just to keep it engraving. I don't see it taking much talent or skill to use a stencil to shade letters and numbers in with this engraver, but I see it being virtually impossible to trace just the outer perimeter of the letters and numbers with a professional appearance. With some trial and error, I'm sure a person can get this engraver to work in certain situations, but be ready to throw all your mistakes away. I would suggest practicing on similar throw away materials before jumping in to your final project. If you're going to etch on fancy wine glasses or beer mugs, practice on an old pickle jar first until you get the hang of it.

Work well as intended. A little awkward to hold, but works well.
