Review on πŸ“ Silver Streak Welders Pencil 96101 by Markal - Pack of 12 by Ron Damndjperiod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I've been using it for two years.

I love these pencils. They don't rub off like soapstone. Even a strong wind can erase a soapstone track overnight. Especially rain, and these pens can withstand that too. But they still rub off with some grease on their elbows and saliva or the rough tip of a gloved thumb. The lines are sharp, clear and easily visible when cutting and welding. But to my surprise I found today that they are identical to Prismacolor colored pencils. The same as the artists use. The color you can get is Metallic Silver #753 - a few dollars less for the same amount, especially at your local store. And you can get a dozen of that particular color and not the whole range of colors. I discovered this by accident today and we tested them against each other in various ways and couldn't tell any difference. Exactly the same behavior. Just cheaper costs. Unless you go to an art supply store. Hope this helps someone on a budget.
