retractble is the way to go!!
Loved the retractable Sharpies. they don't seem to dry out nearly as fast as the snap-on cap and so easy to retract when through for even a second. Loved the ease and consistant ink output

I had to return them as they were dry as the Mohave desert.

Seems to dry out quickly. We think we like the one with the caps better.

They work for our needs
They work for our needs at work. Retractable so you don't lose the cap and thick enough ink to be permanent and readable.

Dried Markers
Most of the markers we received were dried out. Some worked but a lot of them were dry out the box.

A convenient marker with okay quality
The marker is convenient because of the "click to use," versus the typical "remove cap to use." Sadly, 2 of the 12 markers in the package were dried out. The point of the marker swims a bit, making it difficult to mark with precision. Overall, I still recommend this product because of it's convenient "click to use" action.

All Sharpies should be retractable!
Used everyday and the retractable makes it last longer for those who always misplace caps.

a very handy item for marking metal parts
The fine tip marker works well and the fact that it is retractable is very useful

Love them, but expensive.
I like these in a manufacturing setting it is easy to lose the cap while working on machines.
Price is double what I usually pay, but need.

Love these!!!
I'm kind of a labeling freak. Not quite as obsessive as Sheldon on Big Bang but close. These are a great tool for labeling items and they last and last. Where would I be without them?
