MarXman Chalk Non-Permanent DIY Marking Pen Tool (Deep Hole Over 45mm)

Having used the MarXman Chalk Non-Permanent DIY Marking Pen Tool for an extended period, I can attest to its effectiveness and usefulness, particularly for DIY projects involving deep holes over 45mm. The tool's simplicity is its strength, as it provides a straightforward solution for accurately marking drilling points on various surfaces. The convenience of the tool lies in its ability to work effectively in tight spaces or hard-to-reach areas where traditional marking methods might falter. The chalk-based marking system ensures visibility on a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, and concrete, without leaving permanent marks. One of the most impressive aspects of the MarXman tool is its durability. Despite repeated use over time, it continues to function reliably, providing consistent results without any noticeable decline in performance. This durability speaks to the quality of materials and craftsmanship put into its design. However, one potential downside is the limited range of applications. While the tool excels at marking drilling points for deep holes, it may not be as versatile for other marking tasks. Additionally, the chalk can sometimes be messy, requiring extra cleanup after use. Overall, the MarXman Chalk Non-Permanent DIY Marking Pen Tool is a valuable addition to any DIY enthusiast's toolkit, offering a practical solution for accurately marking drilling points in challenging situations. Its durability, effectiveness, and ease of use make it a reliable companion for a variety of projects around the home or workshop.

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.

Great little tool especial for deep holes, nice clear green dot for precise drilling.

This is a great product - simple but effective and it will become a permanent fixture in my tool bag. I used the longer version when really I needed the normal one (which I have ordered and which just arrived today). I’ve been doing a lot of fixing to walls in my garages and this is exactly what I needed. It worked faultlessly and really helped installation of uprights. And even though I used the wrong version, it still worked a treat. I will try the normal depth one soon too. But buy this with confidence - it’s great and is one of those products which makes life so, so much easier and it can be used one handed with ease.

Fantastic item, I can’t work without it

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.

Does exactly what it says it dose. Was using it to mark clips for pipe. The paint flies straight through hole, leaving a good mark. Haven't used it much yet but it's a lot easier than using a pencil. Liking it so far

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.

Super grade für tiefe Löcher, wo selbst die langen Stifte nicht mehr hinkommen. Aber auch für kurze Löcher. Schnell und punktgenau.

très pratique pour marquer l'emplacement de trous, perçage...

Comment j'ai pu faire des trous sans cet outil pendant plus de quarante ans ? La petite vaporisation verte fluo est impeccable pour marquer sur tout et à travers tout. Un seul défaut : ce n'est pas remboursé par la sécu :)

Seconda volta che l'acquisto ,oramai per me è diventato indispensabile funziona su qualsiasi superfice l'unico accorgimento e spuzzare tenendolo il più perpendicolare al foro da praticare altrimenti si rischia di fare il buco spostato.

1x gebruikt en daarna een aantal weken laten liggen. Werkte daarna niet meer (uitgedroogd en vast).
