The letters are so low profile that it is impossible to make an image, even on cardboard or tinfoil. The seller was very nice about letting me return the product, and I did so, but it cost me more in shipping costs than the price of the metal stamps. I suggested to the seller that they drop this item as it will not make anyone happy and will make them look bad.

You really have to strike hard or several times for the image to be visible. Doing so usually causes the metal to bow - or you take out a finger, like I did. Save yourself some pain and trouble and opt for a better set of stamps.

This product does not have enough force to stamp metal. Maybe it would stamp aluminum foil? We bought the brass tags to stamp and they were too hard. This stamp did not even leave a scratch. We were so disappointed.

First problem, stamps didn't fit in the punch tool. After filing down the stamps they fit, but the punch tool didn't have enough 'oomph' to mark aluminum. Going old school and smacking the stamp by itself with a hammer (tough to hold because the pieces are so small) didn't even produce good markings because the raised letters were shallow and uneven.
