I recently helped a friend with his bathroom remodel. While holding the new shower valve in place so that I could mark where to cut the pipes for the new connections, I soon became frustrated that I couldn’t pull the cap off my Sharpie marker one-handed. I resorted to pulling off the cap with my teeth, which is gross when you’re working in a bathroom.
Shortly after that experience, Milwaukee just happened to send me a set of its new Inkzall permanent markers. Each marker has a small nib on its barrel that allows you to pull off the cap more easily, even with gloves. It also writes on dusty and wet surfaces. And that’s not just marketing hype—I tried it. I was able to write on wet copper and PVC pipes and on dusty drywall and subflooring.
The markers are sold individually and in multipacks in fine and chisel points. Black markers sell for about $1 each. A four-color four-pack sells for $5. After using Sharpies for years, I’m a convert.
