Buying things on Amazon and online in general can be a pain - sorting out the fake reviews, the one-star reviews that are really more of a reflection of the purchaser than the product, weighing value/cost, etc. I always feel like I am rolling the dice. This product in particular was challenging because of all of the options, etc.I'm really pleased with this purchase - feel like it was very good quality and value for my needs. Disclaimer is that I used it for one particular project, and it was wood, so if you're using it for metal, I don't have anything to say.One thing in particular I am *very* happy with is the little plastic jig that was included that holds the punch. Kind of essential for positioning as well as making sure the stamp is parallel to the surface, giving you an even impression. I tried it at first without using the jig, and it makes a big difference. Stamping them by hand leads to some angling of the punch, leading to parts of the impression being deeper than others. Also the jig really helps in aligning the letters straight, and consistently spacing them next to the other letters.Glad I bought the little hammer - can't imagine making it work with a standard hammer without loss of control and getting wonkier results.Takes a little practice for the depth of the strike etc. Wood is a little tricky as a surface. If you hit it too hard in a soft wood - I was marking fir - it can collapse the surrounding fibers. The photo I've included looks good to me, but it is borderline too deep.It included some stuff I didn't need, the little metal tags. The "extra" punch is a heart shape, and I would've liked something a little more typographically useful - a dash, slash, period, exclamation point, asterisk - something like that. Included a little cloth that not sure is necessary. Though, the steel definitely stains your fingers while using, so I had to stop a number of times and wash my hands to not transfer the stains to the project surface. Maybe a good wipe down with that cloth would stop that from happening, but I'm not quite anal retentive enough to do that.That's it. TL/DR: The jig is essential, good quality/value for marking wood, who knows about metal, but I'm guessing fine and maybe even ideal, since that's what they're made for. Buy the hammer.Good luck with your project.

Easy to use and sturdy

Make good impression

The actual stamps are ok. What is not is the seller’s description of what you get when you are ordering. I did not receive the ‘stamping block’ that is listed in several areas as well as in the display section of the parts of this set. Here is yifengtools, aka, Bestnule’s response: “Friend, sorry for your misunderstanding, but this set don't including the bench block, the set is shown like the main picture. Maybe u can choose refund this set, sorry for the misleading.”****Just be AWARE of their selling tactics. ****

The stamp holder works great too
