Always work on a clean surface and be mindful of taking intermittent breaks to allow the tip of this engraver to cool down. You can outline first and introduce depth into your projects.

  • Works perfectly
Style: Engraving Pen
I have a lot of keys I keep track of and. I inscribe each one with this gadget.

  • Easy to use - like (almost) writing with a pen.
Style: Engraving Pen
I bought this engraving pen to mark my laptop. Never having used one, I thought it might be difficult to handle. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it's almost like writing with a pen. The tip dug/dragged only a little, which makes sense because it's gouging the metal. But it's minimal, so engraving legible letters and numbers worked well from the start. Also, the pen is light weight, comes with 2 AAA batteries, and fits in the hand like a large pen. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Great for crafts.
Style: Engraving Pen
This thing is decent. I got it to engrave some small washers that I was making into necklaces for my nieces and daughters for Christmas. It did do the job although the bit wore out pretty quickly and sadly the replacement bits were a bit (excuse the pun) expensive. It doesn't have as much power as I expected and seems to take longer to engrave than my Dremel would. But that aside this is way easier to use than the dremel since it is so small and I have small hands. Personally It'll be used a lot here for small odd jobs and crafting. If you're looking for something heavy duty, I would say just get a dremel. If you just need it for odd jobs and crafts this will work just fine, just expect to work a little slower than you would with a dremel. Also, it is not compatible with the dremel bits and I did make the mistake of buying the wrong replacement bits. You have to read the product info and buy the correct bit for this specific engraver. It does not use the universal sized bits. ... show more

  • Great tool — easy to use and works very well
Style: Engraving Pen
This cordless engraving pen is a great tool — I really loved it. It’s easy to handle, comfortable to use, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The diamond tip works well for engraving and etching, and it gives good control for detailed work. It’s lightweight and convenient, making it great for small projects and personalization. The quality feels solid, and it performs well on different surfaces. Pros: Easy to use and control Good engraving performance Comfortable and lightweight Great for small projects and details Overall, this is a very useful tool and a great value. I’m very happy with it. ... show more

  • Good for simple things.
Style: Engraving Pen
Perfect for basic designs on basic metals and woods

  • Title: Limited Power and Durability
Style: Engraving Pen
This cordless engraving pen has potential but falls short in key areas. While the diamond tip is precise, the motor lacks sufficient power for engraving harder materials like metal effectively. It works better on softer surfaces but struggles with consistency. The cordless design is convenient, but the battery drains quickly, limiting its use for larger projects. Additionally, the build quality feels less durable than expected. It’s adequate for occasional, light-duty tasks, but not reliable for more demanding projects. Overall, it’s a basic tool with limitations, better suited for beginners or very simple engraving needs. ... show more

  • Great buy, no jumping around
Style: Engraving Pen
Great engraver. I used it on metal and plastics and it didn't jump all over the place like a dremel. Also has a triangle tip where you put your fingers and can engrave like you write. Great buy!

  • Stopped working immediately
Style: Engraving Pen
I wrote 2 letters on a pet tag and it stopped working. I replaced batteries and still nothing. Not worth the money I paid to drive an hour one way to return it for a refund.
