As a tradesmen, I’m constantly marking things but when your pencil or pen doesn’t reach as far, it’s a nightmare. That’s where this pen stands out from the crowd. It’s able to reach further and push the marker fluid perfectly in those hard to reach spots. So easy to use and it lasts a long time!! I think this is my second in a year. Awesome value for money. Great long nose design.

This tool is great for marking drill holes and I use it regularly at work. My only hang up is that the nozzle could be narrower, as the awkward design of the fittings i am installing mean that it doesn't quite line up with the holes and can sometimes effect accuracy.

Although we've not used it yet our electrician told us about them and we thought they were a really good product that solves everything and I don't know why someone hasn't invented them before and they are good value for money

I first came across the MarXman marking pen a couple of years ago while stood at the till in Wickes, bought it on instinct and found it to be utterly brilliant while building an extension.Roll on a couple of years and I've just built a roof for an outbuilding. I had some deep timbers that I wanted to offer up to a bearing and mark out where the drill hole needed to be. My existing MarXman wouldn't spray far enough to make a clear enough mark on the brickwork so I ordered this extra deep MarXman pen off of Amazon while dangling off of the roof. When it came it did the job just as I hoped it would, and going on to help me finish the job without fuss.It's easy to use, just a quick pump (or two) through the hole and it'll deliver a bright green splodge of chalk to the destination surface. Spot on.

This is a must have in my opinion, it takes the stress and juggling of tools and materials out of any project which requires marking the position for a screw or hole to be drilled accurately. It is simple to use, just place the shelf, bracket, or baton into position, put the point of the marker into the hole and press! Job done. Remove the workpiece and there will be a perfectly positioned highly visible mark exactly where you need to drill.No more trying to scribe a mark with a nail or screw, no more trying to find a pen or pencil slim enough to fit all the way through the hole. No mor juggling tools and materials and finding that the 2 holes you have drilled are not quite right and will not hold your work securely.Well worth it's weight in pure gold.

A very useful Tool for Marking down Deep Holes, It Blows a Shot of Green Chalk Powder Down the Hole, which Marks the position Of The hole and Then Drilling The Hole the Mark has Disappeared, But Can Easily be Wiped Off if Requied

Went to my son’s who had one of these, and I was hooked, bought one and it a Godsend, such a clever idea, fitted a 3” post to the garden wall, and its a breeze, the marker shows up in a dark area and in bright sunlight. No more trying to work out where the hole to drill is, this is the tool to use. A must for evry toolbox.
