Control built into a pen-sized body
Spring-loaded tip
The steel tip sits on an internal spring, so it strikes the surface in short, even taps instead of skipping across it. The slide switch on the grip turns the pen on and off without a second hand. On the wine glass and stone samples, the lettering reads clean at normal viewing distance.
Two-tone grip
The twisted matte blue grip gives your fingers something to hold onto, so the pen stays steady over small lettering. The white barrel holds the battery, which keeps the weight in the back half of the pen. Keep your wrist loose and let the tip do the work. You can see how the marks look on the stone in the photo above, and the grip is the reason those lines stay straight.
Pen body, tip and spring
The pen comes apart so you can see the internal spring and the tip seat. Everything sits in one compact unit, so there is no separate handpiece or cable to manage at the bench. Batteries are not included, so plan on two AA cells before you start.

Batteries are not included. Fit two AA cells into the white barrel and check the pen sits flat in your hand before you switch it on.
- 2Test on scrap first
Set the slide switch on the grip and touch the tip to a scrap piece of the same material. Adjust your pressure until the line is even and not too deep.
- 3Hold it like a pen
Rest the grip between your thumb and first two fingers, keep your wrist loose and guide the tip with small, steady movements.
- 4Work one letter at a time
Engrave in short passes. Stop, check the line and switch off between sections so the lettering stays even.

A gift deadline, a quote that is too high
The deadline that won't wait
The wedding is in six weeks and the glass you want needs a name on it. The engraving shop quotes per piece, adds a delivery wait and asks you to decide today. Every extra glass costs the same again, and the date keeps getting closer.
Your own bench, your own hand
The pen fits in your palm like a ballpoint. You switch it on with the slide, rest the tip on the surface and let the spring-loaded point cut fine lines into stone, glass or metal. The first test piece tells you how much pressure the surface wants. After that, the next gift is one afternoon of work instead of a week of waiting.

Questions and answers
It is shown engraving wine glass, stone, glass bottle lettering and egg shells in the product photos, with clean and legible lines on each. Metal is a listed use too. Practice on a scrap piece of the same material first, since glass and stone take a different amount of pressure than a metal charm.
No. The pen runs on 2 AA batteries, which you buy separately. The rated figures are 5 V and 10 W, so use standard AA cells and install them in the white barrel before you switch the pen on.
The pen is built to be held like a pen. The slide switch sits on the grip, the tip is spring-loaded, and the grip keeps your hand steady over small lettering. Work slowly, keep your wrist loose and test on scrap. Most first attempts show that the surface needs lighter pressure than you expect.
The tip and the internal spring come as separate parts, so you can see them when the pen comes apart. No spare tip is listed with this kit, so treat the tip as the part to look after.
A shop charges for every piece, and every extra glass or charm repeats the fee and the wait. The pen is a one-time buy, so the cost per gift falls with each piece you make. For a wedding table or a family gift run, one pen covers the whole list.
