C.h. Hanson 20741U Letter V Steel Hand Stamp 1/32 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 20741U is a machine-made, individual steel hand stamp designed to strike a clean letter V impression into metal, plastic, wood, and other stampable materials. The character measures 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) in height, making it well-suited for fine marking work where precision and legibility in tight spaces matter. The stamp body is solid steel construction at 2.13 inches in length and 0.25 inches in width, giving it the durability to handle repeated hammer strikes in production or field marking applications. It is sold as a single stamp, allowing tradespeople, machinists, and fabricators to replace or supplement an existing set one character at a time.

This stamp is used in metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, and manufacturing lines where permanent part identification, lot marking, or tooling identification is required. It is compatible with standard hand stamp sets and works with a typical machinist hammer or mallet. The compact size makes it practical for bench work as well as in-place marking on installed components or assemblies.

Installation Notes

Hand stamps are driven with a machinist hammer or ball-peen hammer on a firm, stable surface. Secure the workpiece before stamping to prevent movement and ensure a clean, centered impression. Wear appropriate eye protection when using impact tools. For best results on hardened surfaces, consult the material hardness rating of the stamp before use to avoid chipping the die face.
