HDIDS609 Hammerless Metal Stamping Kit, 1/4" 39-Piece Alphanumeric Steel Stamps, 5000 LBS Force, A-Z, 0-9, Heavy-Duty Case, USA-Made, Number and Letter Punch

As described and good quality.

Does what it is supposed to do. Imprints clearly on metal and wood. Downside is that I found it hard to maintain alignment during pull-back. For single letters where position is not critical it is fine. If you want an accurate, evenly spaced layout it may be better to use standard stamp with a hammer. Risk of double tap may occur with this. If anyone has a method to keep letters aligned please post your technique.

This is super nice and great quality

You know this is one of those things that seem like a great idea and it would be if it actually worked right. Think about this ( I wish I had) you are trying to hold the die steady while you are pulling up against a heavy spring to which the die is attached. See the problem. It is difficult to get a good impression because the action of lifting against the spring tends to move the die around. It will work better on soft surfaces such as wood but on metal not so good. So I wish I had just purchased the die set without the spring part.. It would have worked better. This product is a good idea that just doesn't work. They should give these away. I am sorry I bought mine.

Other reviewers tried to tell me, but I had to see for myself. Sure enough. Great idea. Well built, sturdy, excellent quality. Sadly, it just doesn't work like expected. At least not on hard surfaces. May be fine for softer metal, but even then, it is harder to use than expected.

Tried to use on some aluminum and you could barely see the letters also bought some 3/32" punches after I measured them I found them to 1/8" which does me no good for the specific job I intended to use them for.

Very difficult to use and to keep steady. Would be nice in some sort of gun like attachment. Would not buy this product if I were you
