What do people think of these kind of engravers,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123

It acts as a hammer and I was thinking it might be ok to start me off with or would I be better off going with the hand push engravers?

I have my vice and magnification gear,(not the best but will do),just need a cheap way into a engraver.Seems really hard to find engraving gear over here,can't even find hand push engravers on ebay or even the steel so I could shape it and make my own handle.

What is the best metal/steel for hand/push engraving?
Thanks
