Members jphillipw Posted March 10, 2017 Members Report Posted March 10, 2017 I don't really mash on my stamps... Just a firm couple of taps. the barrel is literally bowed, and the camo has be realigned to the edge of the barrel. It wasn't that way when I bought it, just 5-10 projects in. Quote
CowboyBob Posted March 10, 2017 Report Posted March 10, 2017 Yes,you find out as we all have iy pays to spend alittle extra for certain things esp tools.Give Barry King or Bob Beard a call if you want some good stuff to work with that will last a long time.

Northmount Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 Was this from a starter set from Tandy? If so, they are lower quality material than their regular line. Tandy will replace stamps that bend or fall apart or easily damaged through normal use. They replace starter kit stamps with their regular line according to other posts on the forum. Take it back.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted March 11, 2017 Members Report Posted March 11, 2017 All my stamps are Tandy, and i've never had one bow like that. I did have a beveler with a burr on the stamping face, and Tandy was happy to replace it for me. Take it back! Quote
Members Wulfing Posted March 11, 2017 Members Report Posted March 11, 2017 In the uk Le prevo do some good quality stamps. The ones I brought from amazon for 15£ for a pack of 10 were awful..... The background shader wasnt sharp enough so just left a flat shape and the beveller was kind of smooth / nearly rounded so it didnt dig into the bottom of the cuts!! Infact I've pretty much thrown away all the cheap tools I started out with and got new ones that actually work! The sciver was just useless, the edge groover kept moving as it wouldnt tighten up, the cheap hole punches went blunt after 2 minutes lol I guess some of it was down to me being new and a lack of skill but it's so much easier when you're new if you have good tools.

Members Tugadude Posted March 11, 2017 Members Report Posted March 11, 2017 That stamp is the new ergonomic version. The gentle curve allows you to angle your wrist, reducing pressure and future carpal tunnel issues. Quote
Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted March 11, 2017 Members Report Posted March 11, 2017 Call that a curve? I have a set of original cheap tools that I bought to start me off, and most of them have quite a jaunty curve to them. If I use them, I have to keep tapping them straight. In fact, two snapped in half after being straightened too many times. Quote “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!! Next they'll be wanting the vote!!!!! “.

alpha2 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 It's not a fault, it's a feature. It allows you to see what you're stamping without your hand getting in the way. Now EVERYBODY will want one! Quote So much leather...so little time.
