Tip for people with poor aim: Use a plier to hold instead of your finger. You'd never guess how I know. I made a jig with wood to hold it at 90 degree and hold.

These are on my want list. Thanks for the review

Grind a groove in the side of the stamp so that it faces you and you can feel it with your thumb when making the stamp. Good quality (American made) stamps have this groove already cut. Make a wooden block with holes to hold the stamps. It makes it much faster to pull the stamp as you need it. If you get fancy you can make a cover for the block like a quality set has.

5:00 in order to keep my stamps in the correct direction, I paint a small dot on the side facing me when I use it, so I know that the stamp is positioned correctly.

The problem I always had with these is the actual letter alignment and spacing. When I was in trade school I spent a day or two trying to mill a holder where you can put all your letters in and snug them together with 2 thumb screws. If I remember correctly it didn't work too good. After all the letters where in the holder you basically needed a press to have enough force to deboss all of the letters at once. And due to the shape at the tip all the letters seemed widely spaced apart.

0:35 Wrong! You flip the 9 upside down to make a 6.

Hi did you know where find a larger model ? Bigger letters, like 2 or 3 centimeter ? thanks

I use these to engrave bottle caps for my business. Where would you recommend to buy for expanding my collection of these?

Super helpful - thank you!

A stamping jig that's set on a rack could come in handy if you needed to do a lot of stamping and want to keep them all on the same line.

Do you know what kind of steel the stamps themselves are made of?

Some great tips here thank you!

I’m trying to stamp my initials on to a knife I’m making with This set with steel from Home Depot that’s about 1/4 in thick would it be the same process or is it any different?

Think this would work for aluminum anodized lower receiver?

SOLD!!Bout to make my keys a lil easier to figure out.

Why not mark the stamp itself on the side of the shaft to indicate the proper position. Just a dot of paint would do.

Pretty cool review. I have never seen a real use for these except for our IO-520 to IO-550 conversions. They had a better set of stamps.

What about Titanium? Is it easier or harder to stamp than steel?

I bought these to make dog tags for my dog, seem decent enough.

►►► helpful video ☺ Thanks

Funny that HF compares these to a Grainger set for over $300. Wow, what a savings! 😒

What about stainless steel??

can you use these for wood?

I just tried the stamping set from Harbor Freight on a boat trailer tongue. It's a no go. Using a small sledge hammer it barely made a mark. I'm getting a refund.
