Deezio 1" Brass 46 Pieces Interlocking Stencil Set of Numbers and Letters Kit

Received the order the next day. A set of double letter and double number stencils arrived - 72 stencils instead of 46, which was indicated on the cardboard packaging. It seemed that one could only rejoice, but: 1. the width of all stencils is the same (1" when interlocking with each other) for the all of them and as a result large distances are obtained between letters (numbers), especially between "I" / "1" and other letters / numbers (the advertising picture shows exactly the opposite ) 2. The characters are not aligned to the bottom edge, and some, for example the letter "A", are punched off-center and crookedly... As a result, text made on such a stencil will look far from ideal...

They are good and do the job.

I have an identical old set for which I have lost a few letters over the years. The old set came in a sturdy, well-fitting box. These came in a VERY loose-fitting, cheap, and thin box that I predict won't last long. I found a plastic (is everything plastic now?) that fits both sets pretty well. So, product is a 5, but packaging for intended purpose, a 2 or 3.

Worth the extra money. These stencils have male and female grooves for very secure gripping with no "holes" for paint to get through. The metal material means they're going to last for awhile too. Be careful not to man-handle while sliding the letters together though..the potential for buckling is there. Unlike the plastic variety, these stencils stay locked together no matter how you handle them, so you don't have to be so careful moving them from object to object and painting. I sort of wish a nice cloth bag for storage came with them, but I found one. Since some stencils are different in width than others (say an "I" vs a "W") they don't lay on top of each other that well in storage, so a bag or box would be good for them. I recommend disconnecting each letter from your assembly after use and cleaning, or paint may keep them stuck in place.

Oldies but goodies. These little brass letter cutout are same I recall using 70 years ago to stencil things. These work just as well. I needed to stencil address on trash bins as well as street number on curb outside the house. These are well made. Read the details on the one you purchase. I bought one that was all numbers initially not seeing there were no letters. My fault. The individual letters slide into each other allowing you to string a bunch together for a job. They also clean up well. I just wash them off immediately after use.

It's hard to spell much with only ONE of each letter!
