I've used these a few times on both 22 and 24 gauge copper sheet (to try them out,) and they weren't the worst I've ever used, but they are definitely not my "go to" stamps. The moon and the star make decent enough impressions, but the sun stamp takes quite a bit of finesse! I tested the stamp several times on copper first until I was satisfied with my striking technique, and still ended up ruining a sterling piece I was working on. The trouble is in the detail. While I frequently use highly detailed design stamps, this particular one tends to skitter across the metal (even when it's taped down to my bench block.) This problem could just be me, but this is the only stamp I own that I have trouble with. Anyhow, if you're looking to get a budget set, these might be worth grabbing if only for the moon & star stamps just make sure to strike hard!

This3 piece Celestial Punch Set for Stamping Metal 3/16" 5mm by Beadsmith offers a sturdy design of the punch area, hardened to punch softer metals without suffering design breakage, like some punches that have very thin stick drawing type designs that will chip off and loose the ability to give the desired punch relief. The will each hold up for a long time if used correctly on softer metals, but don't think they will if used on steel or other hard surfaces.
