"These new professional markers are task?focused to write on a variety of work surfaces commonly found in automotive repair and industrial facilities," said James Stewart, Senior Product Manager for GEARWRENCH. "Their heavy-duty tips are made to last, even when used regularly on challenging surfaces like steel, concrete, PVC, and wood."

New GEARWRENCH(® )Fine Point Industrial Markers have an industrial?grade tip made for use on steel, concrete, PVC, wood, and more. They work on dusty, wet, or oily surfaces.
