C.h. Hanson 21051AMP Steel Stamp 1/4 Inch Character

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 21051AMP is a machine-made individual steel stamp designed for marking metal, wood, plastic, and other hard surfaces with clean, consistent impressions. The stamp produces a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) character and is built from hardened steel for durability under repeated hammer strikes. At 3 inches in length and weighing approximately 0.16 pounds, it is sized for one-handed use in shop, fabrication, and field marking applications. Tradespeople, machinists, and fabricators use individual stamps like this one when a full stamp set is unnecessary or when a replacement character is needed.

This stamp is suited for industrial and trade environments where permanent part identification, lot marking, or surface labeling is required. Typical applications include stamping serial numbers, part codes, inspection marks, or custom identifiers onto metal components, pipe, structural steel, tooling, and equipment housings. The individual stamp format allows users to build custom sequences or supplement an existing set with a single missing or worn character.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch character size for clear, legible impressions on metal and hard surfaces
• Machine-made steel construction for consistent character geometry and long service life
• 3-inch handle length provides controlled grip during hand-hammer use
• Individual stamp format allows targeted replacement without purchasing a full set
• Compact profile at 0.44 inches wide and 0.44 inches tall for precise placement

Compatibility

Designed as an individual replacement or supplemental stamp compatible with standard hand-stamp sets that use 1/4-inch character-size stamps across trade, industrial, and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Steel stamps are used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades. Secure the workpiece firmly before striking to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. Use an appropriate ball-peen or stamp hammer and strike squarely to avoid skewed characters. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection during use, as metal-on-metal impact can produce chips or spatter.
