Review on πŸ“ Sketchmark GEN II Stainless Steel: The Ultimate Bookmark Stencil for Bullet Journaling, Sketching, and Designing by Ryan Talcott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

More cons than pros but still glad I have it

It seems like a useful tool and in some aspects it was handy. I like the list checkboxes and the flag template. I was very impressed when I saw the video on how to use this product, but it's actually not as user friendly as the video suggests. I've tried using this to create circles, but it requires using a hole as the center point and then using another hole to create the circle. It's not as easy as it looks and the holes are big enough to use just a mechanical pencil or the best ballpoint pen. Also, the metal edges of felt-tip pens are rough, so in order not to ruin the writing implements, I have to use a pencil and then trace the pencil marks with a pen. Despite these shortcomings, I'm happy to have it in my bullet journal/planner toolkit. The flag template and markers/pennants are very useful.

Pros
  • I like it so far
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
