A handheld tool, often battery-operated or electric, designed for etching or marking materials such as metal, glass, wood, or plastic. These devices are utilized for personalization, identification, or decorative purposes. An example would be using it to mark tools with an owner’s initials to prevent loss or theft.
The significance of such implements lies in their ability to provide a permanent method of labeling possessions, adding unique designs, or creating personalized gifts. Historically, similar tools were manually operated and required significant skill. Modern versions offer ease of use and increased precision, making engraving accessible to a wider range of users. Their benefits include increased security, artistic expression, and the creation of customized items.
