Good pen for marking steel parts.

Bought these to mark tool ID numbers on steel parts while working. It works very well with mild steel and tool steel, both soft and hardened. Stainless steel is not marked. I haven't tried aluminum or other materials.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Works well for most things

Unfortunately it didn't work with 316L stainless steel tubing, which is what I needed it for. There was hardly anything to write on the rough surface. However, it worked well with almost everything else I tried it on.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • No power

Works better than expected!

A great alternative to engraving, although I have used it to improve an engraved silver goblet and the result has exceeded all my expectations. The build quality is excellent; The felt tip is hard and precise. The acidic "ink" flows evenly and regularly. Use in a ventilated area as chemical fumes are nominally sulphurous.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Will be added later

Amazing pen! But it only works on some uncoated steels (NOT copper)

This pen is great! It only works on some metals, but when it works, it's amazing. In particular, I believe it works with metal that oxidizes more easily? If the metal is coated with something, it won't work either. However, sanding the surface and exposing the raw metal beneath the plating will often work.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • There are cons
