Bought this to engrave one tea cup. I enjoyed using it so much I found another project; engraving 30 cups! The only down side is that it runs down batteries but I have solved that by purchasing rechargeable batteries which seems to give the motor more power. It is comfortable and easy to use. No coaching necessary.
Love this little tool and it's what I expected! Even my kids are able to use it (pic is my 8 yr old making a flower... after trying it for 5 minutes)! Takes a few tries to get used to how the tip spins but we found it's better to barely let the tip hit the surface... if you press too hard it makes squiggly lines from how the tip spins. Nice alternative to my wood burning tool especially since my kids can use this. Don't expect it to look like you paid for engraving at Things Remembered, but for little jobs it gets the job done.
The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because I can't judge its durability yet. This little gadget is comfy in the hand, easy to control and does the job. I tested it out by doodling on a brass key. No, my octopus is not perfect, but considering it was the first time I have ever used an engraving tool and it was totally freehand, I was pleased. With a little practice, it will be an awesome tool for embellishing crafts! The only tiny complaint I have is that the power button must be pressed continually. It would be nice if you could just click it on and change your grip without worrying about being able to hold the button down. Easy to press though, so I'm not too concerned.
Its certainly not powerful for epic engravements, but it was great to get 28 ti-84's engraved to prevent stealing :D I had to change the battery once, and it already needs a new drill tip... Otherwise it is a handy little thing. I didn't mind holding down the power button. If you absolutely have to, a small piece of duct tape will do it for you.
Nice little crafting engraver. Works well on wood and metal, like my keys. But this particular one had issue was not powerful enough.

This pen does exactly what I needed it to, and its way better than what I was expecting! The vibration the pen uses to engrave takes a little adjustment to get used to, so it's important to keep a light touch and start slow. So happy I found this -- thanks for the great product!
Extremely easy to use. My handwriting looked no different from using a marker. Exactly what I had hoped for, for engraving my name into my stethoscope I purchased here on Amazon . It was relatively quiet, and easy to hold the pen and object still (the only part that made your hand want to move is the fact you're engraving an object).
I've since "claimed" all of my tools, my bandage shears, hemostats, pen lights, etc. and it took less than 10 minutes to do all of them.
I do suggest that when you engrave any plastic (or glass or metal etc.) that you consider using some eye protection as you are chipping metal and other material into bits of dust that can easily get into your eyes. I engraved everything over a moist wipe to catch dust and dispose of it, and wore a pair of lab goggles which blocked a shred of plastic from entering my eye. Hope this helps :)
Easy to grab the size is just like a pen, nice metallic blue covering, diamond bits are able to engrave glass, metals, wood, a lovely tiny screw driver is included, its made of magnet ,used to replace bits, an extra bit is included, an adorable tiny transparent box is included to hold the screw dryer and the extra bit, even the batteries are loaded and its ready to be used. This tool amazed me and the seller provided in that little package all what is needed to make the customer happy.
This little guy comes in very handy. I purchased it before a deployment to number locks to keys and mark some of my gear to make sure it doesn't get lost. The biggest problem I have had is keeping up with this as all my buddies keep taking it to label their stuff. I have used it on wood plastic and metal no issues so far. Awesome deal for the money.
For the value you can’t beat it. It took a little practice but I got the hang of it quickly. Worked great on polymer clay, all the wording on the birdhouse I did was done by using this pen!
