Long lasting Easy to use, non leak & non bleed
The flow and durability of these lightweight sharpies are amazing for inventory boxes! The tip doesn't wear out, its comfortable to hold, with no chance of losing cap, and absolutely no ink leakage when closed and no ink bleeds writing

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

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

Poor delivery
Staples used a local company to make the delivery and they failed to deliver. They left order on dock with a signature of a person who was out that day. Took over 10 minutes to get a credit.

Doesn’t smudge or come off easily. Best markers!
I like the click it sharpies due to it means no lost lids & it makes them more convent to use. The ink quality is great & you can either use full lines or fine lines just by the angel of the marker. Sharpies are the best for any project, whether it be work, art, storage, or sports. The ink holds up on everything.

Good marker but dries out too fast
Lovely extra fine tip for writing. But the lack of a cap makes it difficult to store long term. The pen dries out very quickly and because there's no air tight cap the sharpie smell is very strong.

Response from Staples :
Hello. Thank you for your valuable feedback! We're glad to hear you appreciate the fine tip for your writing. We understand your concern about storage and drying out. While the retractable design makes it convenient for quick use, we recommend storing the marker with the tip retracted and laying it horizontally to help prevent drying. The strong scent comes from the ink, but we’re always working to improve the user experience. We appreciate your thoughts and will pass them along! If you require further assistance, feel free to reach out via our "Contact Us" website at https://www.sharpie.com/support/contact-us - we’re happy to help!
Thank you,
Sharpie Consumer Care

Convenient retractable marker
The sharpie retractable marker, fine point is amazing! I love the retractable feature as having lids can be a pain to monitor on the job. No lost lids!! Zero to no odor, and drys within seconds of using. Love these markers!!!

Sharpie quality is not as used to be
I use these permanent markers for writing mostly on plastic or glass. They used to have bright colors unlike those I received a few days ago. As for the delivery and packing Staple’s did the best - very caring way to pack and in a new box.

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?
