Peel-Off China Marker Grease Pencils, White, Box of 12

I'm the one. I looked at the price of these and compared with another kind and thought--meh... a grease pencil is a grease pencil. WRONG!!! The cheaper ones I bought before these crumbled and were miserable to peel. I had to throw them away because they were unusable. I saved ZERO money and aggravation.So I bought THESE pencils and they are quality and perfect for all applications. Nicely textured and scent-free. You won't regret this purchase-- pennies more is worth it! Learn from my mistake!

Sharpie is the ONLY brand to buy for china markers / grease pencils. Sharpie write consistently well, the core doesn't break or crack easily, and the peel-off outer layer makes it easy to reveal more core. We do still sometimes carefully sharpen the tip using a handheld pencil sharpener or a razor blade. We use these to write on packages stored in pantry, refrigerator, freezer. If the pencil won't write, we find it is always the surface of the package has some residue. Once cleaned off, the pencil never fails. We have tried other and non-branded pencils and they are a disappointing failure.

Had been searching for a long time for something that would mark on the lenses of glasses where I work. These pencils are good quality and get the job done. They are very easy to use and with having a multipack, there’s enough to go around with all my coworkers at a great price. Would definitely recommend. Comes off easily with glass cleaner or a wipe of a towel, doesn’t smear

I like these but they really aren't durable. And the whole string sharpener thing doesn't really work as well as anybody would have hoped for. All that being said. I love this and will be buying more

Stayed on in triple digit temperature! ...and through all the water I drenched it with. Stayed on metal•plastic•wood. Came off when I wanted by washing in sink.

I've tried a couple other brands whose name I don't remember. I like to keep about 1.5 inches exposed and the others would often snap. These will bend a good bit before breaking.I don't have anything to say about other uses as I only use them for drawing on large newsprint paper. For that purpose, they're great for the price. They have the tonal range of charcoal without the mess.(I do get a bit on my finger tips. And then I spread it around to the surfaces I touch. But I grip it by the exposed medium most of the time. It wipes off most things easily, except paper and unfinished wood.)They're great for drawing on newsprint and other smooth papers in that you don't have to sharpen them or think much about maintaining a sharp tip if you just spin the pen around a bit as you draw. Which, if you have experience with pencils sharpened in the pretentious artist sort of way, is a thoughtless habit anyway.12 for 10$ is less than a dollar a shot, so there's great value if you're putting in the miles. I don't do a ton of shading in my newsprint studies, but I do lay down a lot of lines, cross contours, squiggles, etc and I still get 10+ hours out of each sharpie before it's wore down to ~4" to be thrown into the nub pile.There is an occasional scratching impurity within the marker which you can get rid of by rubbing the bajeezus out of it on your paper or scraping off somehow. Some of them have 2 in them, some have 1, most have none. Nothing to complain about, IMO.

Works great to date my chickens eggs.
