    Build-Your-Own Steel Message Stamps

    Image of System. Front orientation. Stamps. Steel Stamp, Message, Build-Your-Own.
    Choose only the characters you need to make your message from 0-9, A-Z, period, forward slash (/), dash, and blank spaces. To create your message, place characters in the holder and then tighten with the included hex key. The spring pin locks them in place for proper alignment. For holder to work properly, you must fill unused spaces with blanks. These stamps make marks on surfaces with a Rockwell hardness up to C28, including leather, wood, and most metals.
    Characters (sold separately) come individually or as sets. If ordering replacement or additional characters, make sure the character height and notch-to-end length match that of characters you already have.

    Build-Your-Own Pocket-Size Steel Message Stamps

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Stamps. Steel Stamp, Message, Pocket, Build-Your-Own.
    Choose only the characters you need from 0-9, A-Z, and blank spaces. To create your message, place characters in the holder and a retaining pin keeps them firmly in place. For holder to work properly, you must fill unused spaces with blanks (when using 5/32" high characters, unused spaces must be filled with 1/8" blanks). These stamps make marks on materials with a Rockwell hardness up to C35, including leather, wood, and most metals.
    Characters (sold separately) come individually or as sets. If ordering replacement or additional characters, make sure the character height and notch-to-end length match that of characters you already have.
