Editorial take
Why we picked it
For those of us who feel the pathological need to mark our territory on every bit of kit we own, the ARROWMAX is the Supporting tool of choice. It's for the person who wants to engrave their name on their AirPods, their fancy chef's knife, or perhaps just a very expensive pebble, because why not?
It's a sleek, pen-shaped device that makes you feel like a sophisticated artisan rather than someone who is just bored and has access to a motor and a diamond bit. I've spent the morning engraving "Property of a Genius" onto my stapler, and the OLED display made me feel far more professional than I actually am.
It's a bit of niche fun that sits in your desk drawer until the moment you decide that your luggage tags aren't "bespoke" enough.
Detailed verdict
The full review
The Irresistible
- The integrated OLED screen showing speed and battery percentage is peak "over-engineered desk toy" energy and I absolutely love it.
- It's incredibly lightweight and balanced, allowing for a level of control that makes even my terrible handwriting look somewhat intentional.
The Clever Part
- With 7 speed settings, you can actually dial it back so you don't accidentally drill a hole through your iPad while trying to sign your initials.
- The USB-C charging is a blessing, ensuring it's always ready to go when the urge for "permanent customisation" strikes.
The Fine Print
- If you don't have the steady hand of a neurosurgeon, your beautiful engraving will inevitably look like it was done by a very talented squirrel.
- The battery life is decent for small jobs, but if you're planning to engrave a full mural onto your fridge, you're going to be disappointed.
The Reality Check
- Once you've engraved your name into your expensive gear, you've basically committed to owning it forever, as the "resale value" is now precisely zero.
