Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works great, but you won't make art with it.

My husband and I have our annual Bloody Mary party (applause for the idea!) and he uses them to engrave glasses for our guests to take home. It works great, but you won't make art with it. Luckily he's a bit of a cartoonist so his drawings are sharp but lack nuance or shadows. We also couldn't get the included bit to work with the template - it seems too wide to fit. Also, and I think it should be obvious, it vibrates HIGH. After a while, e.g. B. after 20 minutes, feel strange and become numb. It's also very noisy and produces a lot of glass dust, but that's pretty obvious too. I'm not kidding about the volume, I'm sure our neighbors can be heard in their apartments.

Pros
  • Kit includes four 9924 carbide tips and a letter/number stencil ideal for decorative engraving and personalisation.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
