edding 780 Paint Marker Pen Extra Fine Low Odour - White

I had been looking at label printers, largely to print labels for the 3 million black power adapters that I have floating round the house in various "man drawers". Save yourself a bundle and buy a couple of these puppies. They seem to write on pretty much anything, keys, power adaptors, leather things... worth every penny.Its worth noting, these are an excellent addition to the "man drawer" collection of coins, batteries and random memory cards.

Putting right a worn silver edge on vintage hi fi knobs.

It was easy to use although took a while to start the flow. It was not quite as fine as I had hoped though as the tip is quite long.

I thought I would buy a paint marker to write on plastic charging cables the names of the appliances they belong to, this rather than writing the names on a sticker even if sealed with sellotape.Unfortunately, unlike the description, it is not permanent ink, the ink smudges onto surfaces.When I put my fingers on the writing from that pen, you can feel it is sticking to your fingers which in turn transfer the ink to anything it touches.I do not know of a permanent pen ie red that would show on any surface and not be transparent.I may put some sellotape on the writing or revert to writing on labelling stickers instead.

What can I say IHO don’t buy! As headline you can feel there’s ink inside but it will not work. Wish it was easier to send faulty goods back when out of return date but in standard guarantee period.

I bought this pen for my Cousin as she has an old laptop and a lot of the alphabet on the keyboard has been worn away. She told me the 'pen did a wonderful job' replacing the letters, so she is one very happy customer !

Great item - ideal for writing on garden plant labels as it doesn't seem to fade or deteriorate in sunlight/uv. Take care when removing top when it's been used though as sometimes the wrong section comes apart and you get covered in the contents of the barrel (hence the reason for this latest purchase - nothing to do with the seller, more a slight design fault, I'd say). Apart from that, as I said, a great item.

And I used this pen to write on the keys the actual characters that are going to appear on screen. Okay, they wear off after a week or so of heavy use, but there is lots of ink in this pen and I will learn where these keys are eventually.
