Needed this product to stamp the identification number (VIN) on my new trailer as provided by the DMV. It was either pay someone $20+ to do it, or buy this stamp kit for $12.55 and do it myself. Biggest concern, reading other reviews (of similar items), was the size of the letters/numbers. These are truly 1/4" in size. Pictured are my initials I also placed on the trailer.
This is a great little set, considering the price. I bought this for occasional personalization of leather items. I think if you order this understanding that it won’t be top-of-the-line, you’ll be satisfied. It doesn’t have the features of some nicer sets, like labels on the bottom with the letter/number, or indication of the stamp orientation. But with only a couple of exceptions all the stamps work well on leather. The W stamp is a little faint...but the set also comes with an M stamp, which works just fine and could be subbed for a W. The set comes with an ampersand (&) stamp, which I didn’t expect, but it is also the least readable of all the stamps. Since I wasn’t expecting it, I don’t really care that it doesn’t work. Like other reviewers it was shipped to me in an envelope, which I agree doesn’t make sense, but it arrived intact so I don’t mind. The storage box is flimsy, but this set is so cheap that I don’t know why people are expecting more. They did come greasy but you just have to wipe them off with a rag. Overall, if you manage your expectations, you’ll be satisfied. I’d say if you need this for professional purposes or will be using it regularly, you’ll need to spend a bit more money. But for very occasional users who don’t want to spend a lot (like myself), this is perfect.
I purchased this set to make a new VIN plate for my utility trailer. The old one was a sticker that was faded and peeling away. Before use I wiped the oil off & oriented the characters in their correct position then painted them white on one side so I would know I was holding them correctly before stamping. I used a piece of aluminum flashing for the plate. It worked best if a soft wood like pine was used as the base. I am very satisfied with these stamps. They are large but I wanted my VIN number easy to read.
My husband makes knives and he uses this set to label them. This set is a very high quality. Works very well for the steal. We are very very satisfied with this product. I would buy them again and would recommend anyone to buy this product. The seller delivered them quickly. In only a few days I had them. Thanks for a great product. I have tried others and they did not hold up like yours have. Thanks again!
I got it on time. I really wondered why it was only 1-8 then it dawned on me the six can be a nine dah!!!!!

Description
These are great. Worked well on making tags for keys. No more excuses as to what key goes to what!
Very heavy but works well.
Perfect. Really wanted a wood burning set, but this is the next test thing andI a lot cheaper. If tapped gently, the impression on wood is readable. Quite heavy and solid.
I purchased this set for leather working, and have also used it on soft metal and wood. Great price very durable and good case.
works as expected but a layer of machine oil on these gets all over your hand. I guess thats better then them shipping rusty stamps
Looking forward to creating new craft projects with these. Priced right and great value.
