The new RevMark white ink industrial marker picks up where the original RevMark pens leave off. Dark colors are great, but sometimes I need to write on dark material like cast iron. Thatโs when I normally turn to a paint marker. Then I throw on some Santana and do my best rumba to shake the thing up. If Iโm lucky, David C. Smith and his Safety Third team didnโt leave the cap off and let it dry up.
The RevMark white ink marker is what is says โ white ink instead of paint. The question is how well itโs going to write on the materials that you normally use a paint marker for.
Revolutionary Design?
The big feature of the RevMark white ink pen and itโs brethrenย is all about the outer design. The clip is the inverse of what you normally find on a pen, allowing you to clip it to a belt or pocket tip down. That means you should be able to start writing immediately.
With a push of the finger on the cap while you pull up the marker, you can easily pull the marker out. At least thatโs what PenCoย says about their RevMark.
So does it work?
Yes and sort of. On my belt, all I have to do is pull the marker up and the cap stays put. It works like a charm there. In my jeans or shirt pocket, the cap likes to come out with the pen. It can become a two-hand operation, especially in your shirt pocket.
Personally, I like to keep my pen inside my pocket rather than outside on my belt. But if the marker works well, Iโll consider the switch.
Putting Pen toโฆ Everything
The RevMark white ink marker came in just in time to mark some cut lines and put identifying marks on a few tools. Writing on metal is very effective. Wood is a little tougher on the tip, but itโll make do better than a paint marker. Concrete is another material that you can write well on, though how often youโll need white may be in question.
The big takeaway is that on glossy materials, you really need to wait a minute or two for the ink to dry. It comes out pretty think and you can wipe it off. On rougher materials, Itโs tough to remove, but you can smudge it.
The Bottom Line
If you donโt mind wearing a pen on your belt instead of your pocket, the Made in the USA RevMark white ink pen is an effective replacement for your paint marker in most common applications.
