Practicing and Testing on Scrap Pieces gives Excellent Results. This is a pulsing/hammer type engraver, which means it is loud but easy to control. Does exactly what it says on the tin; I had no problem using the lettering stencils as others have reported so this defect may have been addressed. If you practice your "pe...

Great value, VERY sharp. The tools I received were VERY sharp, so much so that I cut myself accidentally unwrapping and inspecting them.

3 mattes and still cut wrong. I purchased this matte on October 17th and finally received a correct one on November 7th. I had the matte custom cut to my size and he first one came not cut to a custom size but the size listed in the listing. The second one came mis-cut and the third one is off by a little under a quart...

fine product, poor instructions: here are some tips. Having tried several very small projects I tried a pendant and couldn't proceed without breakage. After enquiring elsewhere I was advised that using the microwave oven on half-power for a pre-firing would be very likely to increase success. Using a pre-firing also...

THIS IS NOT "RAINBOW LOOM BRAND", it is a generic knock off. THIS IS NOT "RAINBOW LOOM BRAND", it is a generic knock off! We have a Rainbow Loom Brand that we purchased from the company directly so I have one to compare these two. We purchased one and then I purchased another one from a different seller because the fir...

No better than a ruler for 50 times the cost. This product is not exactly useless, but does nothing you can't do just as easily, and perhaps even more accurately, with just a ruler. The laser line is too thick to be accurate within less than 1/8 of an inch, and it goes in only one direction, I was expecting there to b...

Takes a little problem solving, but then its amazing. Ok, I'll start this upfront with saying I am educated in engineering. But really there wasn't much super technical knowhow needed to make this thing into an AMAZING machine! I wish I could post pictures. When it arrived, I had to re-aim the mirrors (it has a larg...

Yep. This is the stuff. IDK how much I can say about glue sticks, but I'll try. Firstly, compared to those little 4" mini things you get at the dollar store and use for the dollar store glue gun - night and day. These are far superior in all the ways. Except. There WAS stringing, which got this bumped down a star. Bu...

Portable set, very fine tip. the tips of these are what make them special. Great for detail work. Colors flow evenly and do not stop and start when covering a large area. But these really aren't for large areas, but for small details. You can get very tiny details clearly, and using two after each other works well as t...

Mediocre at best. I read the reviews and saw that people complained about the level of stickiness, so I knew that when I purchased them. But I guess I didn't realize just how non-sticky they were. I used them as calendar stickers, so I cut the sheet(s) into ~.25" squares. The stickers hardly stay on the backing! I have...
