This tool does what it is supposed to per the advertisement, fair price, quick shipment. The biggest downfall I have found is that it is not manufactured here in the USA, yes I am one of those guys that still looks for the logo "MADE IN THE USA" on every package I purchase. The shame is that it is harder to find these days even from a company that was a staple of this.

I got this engraver because I got a Craftsman 255 piece tool set for my birthday. This came with a $10 gift card and so I got this for less than $10! What a deal.

I've not used it extensively yet but I've engraved about 30 tools and it is pretty easy to use. I found out on the box wrenches you only need to use a one which is a lighter engraving. If you use the higher numbers it goes deeper but is thinner and you have to trace over to get the letters wider.

This also came with a stencil that I was excited about at first but it doesn't stay still when trying to use the engraver through it. I guess you have to use a Sharpie first then engrave over it.

Cons: It is a loud little sucker I recommend ear protection if trying to say engrave a 255 piece tool set. I also had to take several breaks because the vibration would make my hands go numb. So, it is a good idea to turn it off every ten minutes and rest.

Over all great product for a great price!

darmat says "The electric engraving tool is very easy to use and works great." about Craftsman 61050 Corded Engraver Set

I bought the electric engraver for personal use at home and was quite surprised at how easy it is to use. It works great! I wondered if it would be underpowered, but to my surprise I have only had to use it on it's lowest power setting. I am very pleased with it and would recommend it to anyone needing such a tool.

Very good product. Makes steady straight lines and characters. Very easy to use. Easy to follow instructions. Compact makes it easy to use even for women. Only bad part of tool is that it only comes with one carbide tip. Other wise a very good tool. Very satisified with tool purchase.

I've used other engravers in the past and the Craftsman did not heat up in my hand or chatter uncontrollably across the metal I was engraving and after using for an hour my hand did not hurt at all.

I just used this to engrave 10 small pocket knives as wedding favors. The small letters & numbers were easy to engrave. The handle is very comfortable to use and the engraver never got hot. The bit did get dull during the last knife but that can be expected from that much engraving....

This tool is hard to control and the tip likes to come off while in use. The small screw that holds the tip in is very hard to tighten...and now it is so tight I cant change the tips after about a half hour of fighting with it....
