Veltec 4817 Date Stamp with 12 Changeable Messages (Black)

Use it for work, has held up great. Ended up buying another one for another coworker

Does what is supposed to do. Easy to read. Very happy customer.

I had a little trouble loading the ink cartridge. Once installed, everything looks good. Stamps are a nice dark red and legible.

Does the job! Definitely need to buy a separate ink pad if you use this frequently.Got here quick!

This isn't terrible, but it's not great either. First, the dates are only good for about 10 years, not 12 as advertised. This isn't a huge deal, since 10 years is plenty, but don't advertise 12 if it's 10. Secondly, don't throw out the cap for the ink pad. This stamp leaves pad completely exposed. I can't image it won't dry out quickly This way. I threw out the cap and realized this flaw in the stamp, so I dug it back out of the trash so I can keep it closed when not in use. I'll have to reinsert every time I want to use it. Third, this was not easy to use. Putting the pad in was not easy like every other stamp I've ever used. It was a struggle to get in like it wasn't made for this stamp. Once I got it in, it was easier to get out, but you might get some ink on your fingers trying to get this wedged in right. Fourth, the numbers turn fine, but the words are very hard to turn. I actually hurt my thumb trying to get this thing to move. The words also seem to only turn in one direction, or at least it's much more difficult to move in one direction versus the other.Once everything is set up, it works fine. I have to manually press the pad and stamp together to grab enough ink because it doesn't catch the entire stamp evenly. The numbers won't grab any ink unless I force it. Again, frustrating but it's to be expected with this quality.Otherwise, it's ok.

does what it is supposed to do.

This was exactly what I was looking for, and it works really well for my purposes. I've been using a stamp pad and was a little sick of taking it out all the time. It would also get a little messy, so I'm glad to get an easy self-stamping one at a low cost.The ink cartridge was easy to slip in. This stamp also stamps very cleanly, and makes a good mark. The date goes up to 2032, so it ideally will last you a good decade+.I can't say yet how much the ink cartridge will last, and when I'll need a replacement, but for now it's doing well. When it's needed, the Trodat replacement ink cartridges 6/4817 should be compatible.

I like this stamp for it's multiple stamps. It's just a little difficult to line up.
