![]() ![]() When writing on a surface or material impedes the flow of ink through a porous marker tip, what else can that be called? “Clogging” seems plenty smartphones, it’s hard to say what’s a typo and what results from over-enthusiastic auto correction. Maybe “clogging” is how they choose to describe that effect. But a lot of permanent markers with porous tips do have trouble writing on certain surfaces. I am sorry that you had to grab a calculator, hopefully this helps you understand which are more expensive and which are cheaper.Īs for the anti-clogging claim, I don’t quite get it either. Other sellers and office supply stores look to have similar pricing.įor RevMark, 8 for $16 is around $2 each per marker, which is double the unit price of HF markers. If you want to see more price points, click the link – Amazon has a couple on the same page, as well as separate listings for boxed quantities. Why compare against a 12-pack? Because smaller quantities of Sharpie markers can be extremely uneconomical to where I feel it can skew pricing comparisons. Since you get more Sharpie markers for the same money, they are less expensive than the HF markers. 12 for $8 reflects a lower unit cost for Sharpie markers than 8 for $8 for Harbor Freight Markers. If you want to look at it in a different way, Sharpies are 12 for ~$8, and the same money would buy you (4) Harbor Freight 2-packs for 8 total. An equivalent number of HF markers would be 12 for $12.Īs $8 is less than $12, the Sharpies are cheaper and the HF markers more expensive. The Sharpie pack I linked to is 12 for $8. The HF markers are thus just a little cheaper when comparing 2-packs. The HF markers come out to $1 each, and the Inkzall a little more than that. The Milwaukee Inkzall markers are slightly more expensive. I’ll break it down for you here, so that you can see which is more expensive and which is cheaper. I’m also sorry that you’re having trouble with the math. I’m sorry that you find this so offensive. “HF says…” makes it clear where non-factual claims come from.įacts need to be represented as facts, opinions need to be represented as opinions, and claims that cannot be verified as factual are given “the company says” treatment. So until I can get my hands on one, I’d prefer to make it clear their claims are not my own findings or opinions. If I bought a pack tomorrow, it would still take me a while to form a hands-opinion. I can’t verify their claims, and I’ve had plenty of markers that work great on day one but falter every time I need them. They say the markers won’t clog, won’t dry out in 6 days, and are jobsite durable. I won’t soon have the time to make a 50 minute round trip to buy a $2 pack of markers from Harbor Freight. I saw the markers on Harbor Freight’s website and found them interesting. ![]() ![]() I trust you, you’re on my home page of sites to visit. Which is more expensive? Which is cheaper? Hold on, let me grab a calculator. Strong “people are saying” vibes.Įven the opinion section at the end, I love you list competitors, but you listed prices for different quantities for all of them. It might be a technically accurate statement, but the majority of readers here will not catch that subtlety and take it as an endorsement. I totally get you are going off of a Press Release and not actual personal opinion, but the phrasing is just laundering someone else’s opinion. So it’s somewhat like advertising a cereal to be arsenic free (all of them are). I’m a prosumer so maybe not the most demanding but I don’t know I’ve had a marker fail due to clogging. ![]() This sounds like a very famous someone who is famous for their inability to make a straight-forward statement. Oh do “they” ? This is a cheap rhetorical device in the best of times and a simple laundering of PR terms in the worst. ![]()
