WEN 21C Variable Speed Electric Engraver Kit with Stencils,Blue

Once again, WEN has delivered a fantastic product. The WEN Engraver is exactly what I was hoping for. It’s easy to handle, lightweight, and comfortable to use, even for longer projects.The engraving process is smooth and precise, making it great for personalizing tools, gifts, or anything else you want to mark. It feels sturdy and well-built, just like the other WEN products I’ve used.If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable engraver that’s simple to use, I’d definitely recommend this one. Another win for WEN!

I can’t speak to longevity yet, but this engraver works perfectly for marking tools and equipment for proper and easy identification. In a setting or workplace where multiple coworkers have identical or similar tools, this helps everyone to keep track of their property. Also makes it easy for the person responsible for cleaning and sorting a pile of similar items. Solid build quality for $11. If you’re planning on doing a complex engraving a shotgun stock, not so much. For my needs, this one is the one.

Does the job for marking all my tools. It's kinda cheap so you can't go to hard with it, and the plastic is meh, but worth it for the price!

I'm surprised, It works! I wanted a way to engrave jewelry when can't stamp it and add my signature to one of a kind pieces and it works great at least on silver, only material I tried. Also if you work with oxidation and patinas, you can create a motif/texture and it will show more than I thought. (Is Not as deep as acid work, etc. but is not bad. Use the stronger setting and engrave over and over for better results)Practice for a while on something like copper scrap until you get a hand on how it vibrates, how to move your hand and which kind of support is more comfortable. If you like super neat letters, it has a stencil,It is NOISY, but most of the things at my studio are anyway is more noisy than drills.I will try on other materials and if I can, add some pictures.

Like: reasonably priced, feels pretty sturdy and you’re able to adjust the engraving speed!!!.Dislike: absolutely nothing to dislike about this tool.Use: needed something at work to make sure everything is marked correctly and doesn’t get misplaced. Highly recommend tool for your engraving needs.

It worked great for almost 10 months and I did get a good bit of use out of it and it was inexpensive, but I would have thought it would have lasted longer than that.

A very good too

I contacted Wen regarding a couple of issues I have with this engraver, and with praise for the good owner's manual included with it. The support page on Wen's web site indicated I would get a response "in 1 to 5 business days". It's been two weeks now, and nothing. Really disappointing.So here's a warning: the ONE engraving tip included with this product wears down quickly when used on hard steel, like wrenches. It wouldn't kill Wen to include more nor to provide a product number for replacements. Fortunately, other manufacturers offer compatible tips. Plan on getting some if you intend to engrave hardened steel items.My engraver came with a chuck so stuffed with rusty steel shavings that it was impossible to insert the engraving tip all the way. Cleaning it out with a toothpick worked.
