Best praise vs top criticism for Sharpie S-Gel
“If you want fancy, but insanely durable check out the BAM by Marksmith. Titanium host for a retractable sharpie refill. I've been using mine daily for years. https://preview.redd.it/f6jpsskiag1g1.png?width=1344&format=png&auto=webp&s=75ae7453bbf8b38fe435ea0e43c9c1dd46d307a5”
“For me it’s all about practicality. I carry a flashlight because I am often in poorly lit places for work, a box cutter because I don’t often need an actual knife for daily use and a sharpie for marking where I need to drill holes or make a cut. Just tools that make sense for me to have on my person throughout the day. I hate having excess stuff in my pockets so if I’m carrying it, it gets used daily.”
