Excellent when it works
Very useful when it works. Makes good labels for spices and pantry stuff. BUT it kept jamming - tape either doesn't go through when you punch a letter or it doesn't cut properly. I had to use a pair of tweezers to try and removed the stuck pieces. Wasted more than half of the tape just because it's going well, then randomly gets stuck. Good thing it comes with 2 extra tapes - a black one and a red one. Also, needs some paper or instructions to troubleshoot. The top 2 arrows should match the bottom 2 arrows. Otherwise it would not punch anything. I had to check YouTube to find this fix. The last photo shows what will happen if the 2 arrows don't match.

    I work out in a 6 acre field where there is a tree milling machine. Full size trees come in and are cut up to the sizes on the orders. Wether it be 2 inch thick , 2 feet wide and 10 feet long for a bar top or just your standard 2x4 , 2x6 , 2x8 by 8 , 10 or 12 feet long boards for construction and anything in between. Every tree and every cut has to be tagged for inventory. Date , sizes , tree type , contract # and this all has to be done outside in the field whether it be sunny , raining or snowing. This was the only unit that seemed to be capable of use in these conditions. Thus far working great.

    Works great. Super cute. Only complaint is that they aren’t the stickiest so sometimes they fall off if you haven’t rubbed the label onto the surface well enough, or just falls off over time. The material also probably makes a difference; I have more issues with them on plastic material but works great on glass in my experience.

    And it’s better to punch out all of your words at once if you can, to make the most of your label roll.

    you need to apply a significant amount of pressure, but because the body is built cheaply with loose plastic it feels like you might break it. the letter 'I' is offset and will usually end up not lining up with the other letters.

    From the very first attempt it took so many attempts to get a clear label made. Super finicky and the plastic body is terribly cheap. Barely functional. Malfunctions most of the time.

    UPDATE: It completely stopped working. not worth it at all. Very frustrating.

    since my days of being a massive diary of a wimpy kid fan, I've dreamt of an ebossed label maker. I always assumed they would be massive or expensive or just outdated and hard to find. Saw that withwendy on YouTube had this and I immediately gasped. Were my dreams coming true??? They were. I bought this puppy a year ago but for about 3 months it was unusable. I think the tiny parts that sometimes cut off of the end of the strip got stuck near the lever used to trigger the cut/move the tape and after trying to take it apart (screws hard to get to, stripped one of them entirely) it turned out the best way to fix it was just to smack it against my hand a few times, all the strips flew out. My baby was back.

    I am absolutely in love with this product. It's so simple, completely mechanical, and the result is so so satisfying.

    It doesn't need much explanation, you punch out letters in a strip (the strip is already adhesive, you just need to peel off the guard) and presto.

    Some tips I had to learn on my own:
    1. When punching out letters, keep the tension for 1-2 seconds. At first I just quickly clicked through the letters, but they didn't leave a strong enough impression. Holding the click a bit longer really punches out the shape.
    2. When it comes to the sever key- it's right next to the space key - this one you DO have to click quickly. It creates a ready-made easy-peel point, and it also spits the label out. I used to click this one for a bit longer as well, I found that the label doesn't detatch as easily.
