New Letter And Number Metal Stamping Set - Steel Bench Block - Hammer Kit

Evie's Tool Emporium is proud to introduce a new letter and number metal stamping set, steel bench block and hammer kit in our shop.

Saturday June 18th and Sunday June 19th we will offer Free USA Domestic Mailing On Our Letter And Number Metal Stamp Kits (includes stamping set, bench block and hammer).

This is a great kit for anyone who wants to get into metal stamping. Included is one of our most popular letter and number stamp sets, a high quality steel bench block and hammer weighted just about perfectly for stamping.

The letter and number set is your choice of a 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm in a plastic case. We also offer the 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm in a wooden box.  These are average letter size in height and is great for projects made from sheet and soft metals. These new stamps are made of tool steel which is then hardened to provide long life. The set includes all 26 letters of the alphabet in upper case, the numbers zero through 8, with the 6 doing double duty as the 9, and an ampersand.

The bench block is 4" x 4" x 3/4" and is made of tool steel which is ground flat, case-hardened and then polished. This block will leave a nice smooth finish and is perfect for stamping, flattening, laying out or chasing!

The ball-peen hammer weighs about 4 ounces and features a stainless steel head which is 2-1/2” long and has a slightly domed face which is approximately 3/4” round and a 5/8” rounded “peen” head. The handle is about 9” long and is fairly small around to offer a comfortable grip to all hand sizes.

USA Made Quick Change Drill Bits Now Available At Evie's Tool Emporium!

Evie is very pleased to announce we are adding standard drill bits to Evies Tool Emporium. For years Dave has had a relationship with the company Insty-Bit here in Minneapolis through the Tool Raider store and website and we have decided we should start to offer them to our Etsy customers.

Insty-Bit has been a leader in high performance quick change drilling and driving systems for decades. The products they offer include standard drill bits, specialty wood bits, quick change chucks and extensions and power screw driving systems.

Evies will only be listing a few of their most popular sets but we do have access to the full line so if you use a particular size only or need a specialty bit of some sort let us know and we’ll see if we can help.

And by the way, the reason Evie is so pleased isn’t because of the great quality or value offered by Insty-Bit tools, it’s because she likes to go with Dave down to their offices and see them, they are some of her favorite people.

Screwdriver Set Giveaway

We have our own private label screwdriver set! A couple of years ago we made a connection with a company here in the U.S.A. and also in China. This relationship led to the development of our own private label screwdriver set. It was a great learning experience working on importing our own product. From the inception to the packaging and then to the distribution it has been a journey. It wasn't always easy, but the end result has been very exciting. We have the screwdriver sets available for retail as well as wholesale so if you are interested please let us know!

BUY IT: You can purchase our screwdriver set at Evie's Tool Emporium.

WIN IT: One lucky U.S.A. reader will win a screwdriver set. To enter FIRST YOU MUST BE A FOLLOWER OF OUR BLOG. Next visit Evie's Tool Emporium and tell us what other tool you would love to have from our shop.

Giveaway ends January 19th at 12:00 pm. U.S.A. winner will be picked via Random.org. If your profile page does not show your email address, please include your email address in your comment. For example: evie08@att.net so that we may get in touch with you if you are selected as the giveaway winner. Please respond within 48 hours, or a new winner will be chosen.
