For $2, why not. I ordered it using Lowe's for pros. I'll pick it up tomorrow during my lunch break

Just beat me to posting this. They were hanging next to the calipers listed earlier. I grabbed a handful to give as gifts to all my godsons. AMDG.

I snagged the caliper deal but reviews on this say multiple passes are needed due to bogging down under 1.5v power and should be worth around $10. Tool also seems too plasticy/flimsy for me. Good deal here, but for this I'd rather invest in a solid engraver.

Reading the reviews, this does not seem to be an engraver used on something that you care about. It's more of a scratcher, the reviewer stated. Unless you really have a purpose for this, I would say this is worth .50¢ – $1.

This is not 4.8 volts. The package shows it uses 2 AA batteries which would only be 3 volts max

Good call. These work amazingly well. And they are fun to use. They are great for personalizing pretty much anything (except maybe room temp liquids). : )

Meh. Don't believe everything you read.

This is one of those tools that, depending on the person's skill level using it, is relevant to the end result(s) of the proper application of said skills.
