What are you going to create and customize!?
Got an extra almost $10 off. Wooo
@@deasolis333 Love to hear it!!!
Thanks!
I bought mine on a whim last days and i was just started to wonder if i had done a good choice. But after reading their About US showing me that they were well legetimate and had worked to create a proper engraving pen . And Now after watching your review, i became really excited to receive mine.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching 🖊
how is it?
I like this device. I find that It compliments my Dremel for doing fine wood carving, that my Dremel Flex Shaft is a little more awkward. I have only been wood carving for a few months, but I use all my woodworking tools to help me out to get the best result. I do find that the Customizer does get warm after continued use. I just switch over to the Dremel for heavier carving at those times. I also like the portability of the Customizer as I can take it anywhere to use it, where the Dremel I can't. I would recommend the Customizer for anyone doing wood carving or engraving.
Put a piece of tape over the charging port before you start grinding/carving to prevent dust from getting into device - make sure tape suitable
My mom just bought this for me and I’m SO EXCITED to give it a try. I’m always looking for new mediums and ways to create art or something so I’m THRILLED
Awesome!! I hope it serves you well and you create wonderful things ☺️💪🏽💯
Exactly the kind of review I was looking for. Thank you. Will be buying!
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching and enjoy!!
Using engraver on many types of materials , I encountered problems on hard materials like metals , lines are shaky hard to control , but o soft wood or materials lines will come out better .
Thanks for the info. Good vid. For dust protection I think I'd just cut the end of an old charger cord and leave that plugged in.
That's a good idea!
I was hesitating on buying, but it seems like a good product. Thanks for the code!
Awesome! Happy to help 🙌🏽
can you use it while charging??
Is it me, or does this engraver look just like most nail technicians tools?
But did you know some of their tools have a reverse funtion so you can have the spin going one way and then the other. Now this is very handy when doing tight areas.
So i do like the carving bits this comes with and drill bits.
Im curious to see if it can go into a nail drill, as i have just purchased one for craft reasons. Its very good. And it has a a little base box that you can clip to your side and a telephone type cord to the handle.
I love the dial to adjust the speed over a digital button. Much faster. But it still has a digital screen.
And im yet to charge it. It has 10hrs battery life.
Thanks for your review, im glad this too is a quality product
Yeah- don’t tell anyone, but I used my nail drill with a sanding band on a woodworking project last month and it worked like a charm hahaha
I am starting to look into “real” tools so here I am 😂😂💅
I just got 1 of these pen engravers only thing is Im not sure what bit to use on certain things such as wood, glass, & or stone & metal.
Are all the bits ok to use on these items? Or are there certain bits for certain objects- a few bits for glass & other bits for wood & so on?
Great question- I would say they all should work but it depends on the material so if you can do a test on similar materials for best results
Diamond head bits work best on metal or glass , my advice to you is use different bits , practice, practice, practice, you will definitely get different effects from different burrs , different woods are harder to use , I’d start with pine , also deeper cuts for like muscle structures on animals like Elk for instance!! Remember unless your a artist, the right. Stencils are everything!!
Great review & very informative! Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
That's a sweet little mini-dremel, but that whine is giving me dentist flashbacks hahaha
😂😂😂
I used my pen for about 3 months and it quit working. It has a full charge but when I turn it, it runs for 1-2 seconds and then shuts down. Is there somewhere it could be sent for repair? I got no help from the company.
Im sorry to hear that I would try the companies Instagram account direct message!
Love this!!! I may have the perfect gift for Christmas thanks to you. New subscriber here!! 👋
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 🙌🏽✅
How many hours to charge it before I use it?
I wish you showed Engraving knives. I'm trying stainless steel and can't make a mark
Hm I didnt have too much trouble engraving steel -it just doesn’t go super deep - I would make sure its fully charged too and play around with bits (I am sure you have)
Maybe the makers have more points or harder bits for steel?
I'm a teacher and I often need to cut card board and I hate using a utility knife. Please let me know.
I would not recommend this for cutting cardboard. If a standard utility blade is too unnerving I would suggest trying the ceramic safety razors on Amazon - some have a blunted tip too ✅
I saw this advertised on Facebook before last Christmas, linked it to my chat feed, then forgot about it. I saw another advert tonight and thought I'd have a look here on TH-cam for reviews. Yours was the first I saw and I have to say, I'm impressed! I've resent myself the link and I'm going to see if I can afford to get one next pay-day. I can think of all sorts of stuff I can do with it and the gifts I can make with it too! Thanks for a really good and informative video. I wonder if it would be worth attempting to create an end cover from resin? Hopefully that would also form a shallow bung to help protect the USB slot as well as look after the end against unwitting bashes!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate it and glad I was able to help!
I think its a great investment and hopefully works for all your creative projects in mind!
Cheers 🙌🏽✒️
This guy is basically selling for them. Any review with an affiliate link CANNOT be trusted.
Great video!!! Does anyone know where this pen is manufactured? It’s designed in the USA but there’s no info on the website as to where they source their parts/where the factories are.
I believe it is made overseas but not exactly sure where!
What’s the battery life ?? That’s the most important thing or how long it will last you
Absolutely and a great question! It also depends on what material you are carving and how much pressure you are a applying but I have gotten ours of use without needing recharging for a week! Again, if you use it more frequently, you will need to recharge it more, but it also has a very quick recharging in less than roughly an hour and a half (depending on amps) hope this helps!
Why are the lines on my stones and glass turning black and I can’t wash the black off?
Have you tried different speeds and/tips? It might be burning the glass
Tey cleaning with either toothpaste or nail varnish remover
You need to engrave glass and stone under running water. Either that use a carbide sanding bit
Help! I can not get the Allen screw to loosen enough together a bit in, any ideas?
Add on some wd40 first maybe help losen it up or contact customer service for more suggestions
My aunt got something similar to this and it came with a bunch of bits. Is there anywhere we can figure out what bit does what since there was no explanation in the box??
Awesome!
I would recommend testing the bits out on a similar material before starting your project!
Each material may react differently despite what the bits were intended for
Hope this helped ✅
Really good review. Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching!

so random i was thinking about getting this like five days ago... will do now because of your video
Rock on! Thanks for watching and glad I could help 🙌🏽🖋
Do you think it could handle bone?
Absolutely 🦴 (Highly recommend wearing a mask though)
@Tactical Tavern Thanks for replying 😁 I already know the dangers of inhaling bone dust, I have friends who carve it but not with this tool.
Are you employed by a Mexican cartel ??
I'm waiting for mine to get here tonight 😁 I'm very excited to use it.
Hope you enjoy it!
How is it? Are you happy with it
You did no tell how to change the bits. I can't get the bit out that came in the carver. I took out the screw and still the bit is stuck
I believe I did using the provided allen key- have you tried using pliers to remove the stuck bit?
Does work on stripped screws?
Yes you can mill into them
I would make a line to use a flathead screwdriver to extract ✅
Does it work on glass
Yes!
I always recommend testing it on a similar surface before starting a project and if you are interested, make sure to use code TacTav for 10% off your order
Like a low-power dremel basically?
I think Dremel is more uncomfortable and big, this seems to be practical and for everyone 🤔U can take it anywhere
@@alexiabidal9093 you can get a dremel the same size as this at lowes
Yes in a way but I feel this gives you portable access and comfort/control for longer projects
The variety of bits are also quite nice and versatile but you have to get what works best for you ✅
@@elihollingsworth6852they really have Dremels this small? Are they cordless?
I already owned a dremel and your comment just helped me find the bits I wanted. 😂👍
Can this be used for wood sculpting?
Absolutely!!
So i consider myself to be almost professional, I used the SCM engraving tools for years these are extremely expensive but amazing, anyway , until my friend asked for them back lol! Few years ago had a major car accident, my second in 15 years, that I couldn’t even hold a pen never mind a engraving-one! So I’m glad to see that this may be what I need , looks like you can do relief carvings which is 3 dimensional, so I’m gonna purchase this !
Awesome! I hope it serves you well
If you want to save some money “TACTAV” will get you a discount too ✅
I'd be interested to hear an opinion from a professional, did you like this one in comparison?
@@icametowatchyoutube7598 I haven’t really used it to its fullness yet like doin a relief carving , but I have done some deep letters on some scrape pine wood , it was easy to use , I like the size out the pen , very comfortable, like the amount of burrs they give you ! I will be putting it to the test this week , I have been using the maker X from Worx it’s big in your hands but it’s a very good tool! Nothing can compare to the SCM tool in my opinion ,, but for the price it’s a great alternative, I have a feeling I will be using both these tools to replace the SCM system, and I’m ok with that !
Bit late to this video, but I'll subscribe as this helped a lot 👍
Thank you very much!
There is also a code “TACTAV” if you do want to save some extra money!
Appreciate the support 🙏🏽
Does it fit .4mm bits?
Great vid. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! I hope it helps ✅
Engraving acrylic usb ?
Should have no problem!
Make a cover w a piece of tape and a little silicone for grip lol
Amazing video! 😍
Thank you very much!☺️
Have heard a lot of reviews about peoples breaking after a short period of time..
Mine is going strong!!
Feel like its a bad investment..need a video regarding permanent gel & rock engraving..cant notice the engraving without.This doesnt cut it unfortunately
Have you tried it on rock and thats what you mean by “this doesn’t cut it”?
@@tacticaltavern Would rock need to be under water to engrave them?
Would anybody be willing to bless a newbie with a old used engraver, equipment? Looking to get into the hobby any help would be great.
If someone would be willing to pass along old used cheap equipment after becoming more advance could really help others.
Thanks and God Bless.
Awesome
Thank you!
I would never pay that much money for that kind of tool. Seems like it doesn't have enough torgue to really bite into even to that soft stick.. makes me wonder that would it even scratch harder materials.
The worst, I recommended it to 2 different people and it died after less than 2 months. The internal battery is crap. They need to use a new battery supplier. Oyrside of that when it works it's great
Sad
I’m having the same problem. It won’t hold a charge.
Baterylife ?
In my testing I got hours of use that translated to a week of using it everyday without needing recharging until the end of the week- there’s also battery life indicator that is very helpful at managing battery life
I was very surprised but it can be challenging to give an accurate number because it changes based on materials being carved into- The more tougher materials like metal and some wood will burn out the battery a little bit faster than the soft materials
Hope this helps!

Bla, bla, bla...
Thank you for sharing this insightful comment 🤣
You look like a not-so-buff Paulo Costa 😂
Thanks😂 I have heard this once or twice before hahaha
I bought one of this and it is a piece of shit. They say it's supposed to cut through Stone and it doesn't it sucks it cuts through nothing i want my money back
Interesting… lots of people have had success with it
Did you fully charge it? Tighten the bolt down so it doesn’t spin?
Depends on the type of stone.
I bet you he uses all his fancy knives to get such a clean shave on his face
The secret is the wicked edge gen 4 pro 😉
