If you don't have one of these, I advise you pick one up ASAP. I was going through Dollar General today and came across some, figured I'd get one since they're not overly expensive at $1.25. It's got a normal Sharpie tip on it, making it perfect for doing bolts, lug nuts, etc. Definitely worth the money.

I have been using a Silver Sharpie for a few yrs now... use it to do my header's, and other engine details, chrome trim on the interior, etc... I like using them for a lot of different things...

[sweptline64]

well I never thought of using one of thoose now I got to run out and get one. The fine line drafters pens work great for putting the black in on trim and anywhere else you need a fine black line also.

I still use my Sharpies, but I`ve found these and use them most of the time now. They`re fantastic.



They come in Extra Fine and Super Fine, Gold, Silver and White. As I said still use the Sharpies, usually for large pieces..but when it comes to finer detail, these pens cant be beat..

Cool score on thos fine-tip pens, Mike! I've been saying for a long time now that we need silver Sharpies in their 'ultra fine' tip, and those oughta do the trick.

I've been using these for a couple years now. The silver is much better than the sharpie and I find it works well for interior and dash detail. The silver sharpie is good for exhaust and things of that nature.

Look for'em in white ink at Michaels too.

[Dave Van]

Been using the Sharpie for years now....also check out the high dollar silver and gold pens at any art supply.....they also have a white ultra fine that does chalk marks on racing tires very well.

Isn't the whole point of a dollar store that everything costs a dollar???

[SuperStockAndy]

Yeah, but it was still pretty cheap.

Somebody needs to tell the manager of that dollar store what a dollar store is...

Dollar General isn't a true 'everything is a dollar' store....their name simply implies that they help make your dollar(s) go farther.

Yeah, they had these storage drawer things that I wanted, they were $5.50..I decided to pass on the deal

[afxmustang]

Sharpie has paint markers as well. They are a bit harder to find than the regular ones.

Oh, ok.

The "dollar store" here by me (Dollar Tree) actually is a dollar store. Everything's a buck (or less).

[VW Dave]

Yup, and we have Dollar Tree stores here too. That's where I get my super glue, emery boards and weathering pastel applicators.

[Harry P.]

Walmart has superglue in packs of 4 tubes for 97¢ in the hardware/home improvement section.

Best deal I've found anywhere. It even beats Dollar Tree (3 tubes for a buck). Stock up!

[VW Dave]

Thanks for the tip, Harry; I'll have to look closer the next time I'm in that aisle....I get my 5-minute epoxy there already.
