Apparently.
I just find it ironic that a company that manufactures steel stamps can't stamp their own product properly. So much for "American pride".
Maybe they are just trying to keep up with the competition in China. Stick a 6 year old kid in a dark corner with an angle grinder and tell him to have at it....
I'm not going to deal with complaining to them about it because it won't change anything anyway. I won't be doing any typesetting with them, I just want to be able to mark a few things here and there. I'm tired of my sharpie marks wearing off of my material stock, and then forgetting what alloy it is.
Still it would be nice to be able to stamp a name on something and have it look decent too.
Many, many years ago I had a small set of cheap stamps that flattened out after 2 or 3 hits and I didn't want to repeat that mistake. So I told myself I would buy a "nice" set someday. <Sigh>
Bottom line is I just wanted to give my review on the "Young Brothers" brand stamp set.
No, I would NOT recommend to a friend.
