I saw this engraver at my local Lidl store. Certainly something I didn't need, especially since I had an engraver already that I had never used. But as usual, I stopped to look at it, put it back, and kept walking the store. Something told me I ought to get it, even though I never had the need to engrave anything in the past, and probably won't in the future either. But for 10 bucks, it was hard to leave in the store.

In this video, I take a look at the el-chepo "engraver" that I had had for over 20 years, probably from a dollar store, and compare that to this one from Lidl. What a marked improvement! While by no means a professional tool, it produces much better results than the old one, so I'm glad I picked it up. Works much nicer than the old one, probably similar to the way "real" engravers work.
