If you like shiny things you'll like this. This is not flat silver, but glittery silver. People with a shiny affinity tend to have a shorter attention span so this needed to be stated first.

Writes on almost anything.. and if the ink sticks it is highly legible.

Perfect for labeling CD/DVD. Don't waste money on "special" disc burning label pens. I have used sharpies on burned CDs for many years and not a single damage issue.

I primarily use the silver sharpie to write notes on power bricks [for electronics]. While a twist-tie label can be removed by gremlins silver sharpie model-X, volt/amp Y information is there to stay forever.. or longer than anyone I know will live.

Another great pen -- not available in this item set -- is a UV ink pen. Those are great for [1] returning items to be sure you actually get a new item, and to [2] help others identify 'returned as defective' merchandise.

Silver sharpies have a similar use to UV pens: marking owneership, but in a not-subtle way. I have also used silver sharpie to mark items as defective before returning as defective.

I don't normally write reviews for magic markers but I am for this one only because of the following:

For years I've been trying to figure out why magic marker companies like Sharpie don't offer the color white. Why white, well because like you, I've had many black items which I needed to write information on. And I'm too lazy to use a label maker. Besides, there are certain things that labels will lose their adhesion on. Example: Certain components in the engine compartment of your vehicle. Another example would be tires. The list is endless.

I've read info. online that indicates that due to the pigment properties of the color white the manufacturers cannot make a white marker which would be useable.

About 10 yrs. ago I called Sharpie's cust. service folks and asked why they don't make a white marker and the agent said, "You know what? That's a very good question. I'll look into this and get back to you. Never heard a thing from them.

Anyway this silver metallic marker is the next best thing to white. I have been marking and labeling a lot of black items and it works great. It doesn't smear or fade out.

The marker worked better than I thought possible. It is perfect for what I needed it to do. Dries quick and is very legible on the black surface.

I defiantly recommend them!
