Reply #12: I wish they would come back out with [View All]

grease pencils.The ones were you unwrapped the cover instead of using a sharpener or knife.
They were so much better than the stuff out there now.
You are absolutely right about those pencils.Pains in the butt.
Sharpies aren't much better.The tips dry out to fast if you use them on concrete or plaster.You can't use them on surfaces that will be exposed and painted because it will eventualy bleed through.You can't use them to write anything small cause the ink smeers together AND bleeds through paper.If you have to mark for cuts with less than an eighth of an inch tolerance they are worthless because the mark is always bigger than that.Plus the cap makes using it a two hand operation which can be a pain in the ass when you are on a lift 40 feet in the air trying to hold an eighty pound light fixture in place so you can mark the bolt holes.

Sharpies suck!
