Not only have they created the ideal tool for personalizing and enhancing my resin artwork, Culiau’s customer service is top notch! They cheerfully shipped me replacement screws for holding in the bits and made me feel very supported as a customer and artist. You can really tell they love their product, as they should, it’s absolutely amazing! Hope everyone has as much fun as I do with this engraving pen!
