You'll Use Less Bare Metal Foil With This Marker...  And no one will know!

Crisp, clear chrome lines are yours with this marker.  If you do a variety of modeling or need a great deal of widths, I recommend buying the multi-pen set.  Looks like chrome, easier than paint or Bare Metal foil in tight, narrow applications.

i use permanent markers on a regular basis for my job. Labeling prepped product and what not. One of these out lasted the Sharpie's that I used to use by about 8x...it also was capable of writing on wet plastic where the previously mentioned sharpie couldn't leave enough of a mark to be legible.

I'm tempted to give it 2 stars since it does make circles, but that seems to be setting the bar too low.

The marks on the template are off so that they don't mark the center of the circles accurately.  I even went as so far as to erase all the existing marks with xylol and begin to determine the correct bisecting lines myself.  I've since abandoned that and am now looking for a truly accurate template.  To compound this problem, many of the circles have been cut poorly leaving burrs on several that cause dimples/bumps on the drawn circles.  For the smaller circles, this can be a bigger problem.  I've taken to creating a cylinder of sand paper to smooth the insides.

The template material itself is fine, and the template sits on raised dimples keeping it off the paper to reduce smudging.

If this is for quick crafting or for children's school work, I suppose it would suffice, but for any tasks requiring accuracy it's basically useless.  *sigh*  How hard can it be to mark a template accurately??  I guess harder than can be achieved for $6.

This is a repost from my original mark and grade. I was asked by maker and distributor to give it a four when I really wanted to give it a three and informed him so. I ended up bending my rubber arm because it looked like we might do more stuff together, so that was my bad.
Just ant to say that this, of course, puts the product under big suspicion. Please read the reviews carefully and spot who has been paid for them. Should be nice proportion in this kind of product.
The product is fine; it even has some good stuff, like the pastel coloreas and the general feel of the ink as it touched the paper.
Ease of use, etc.
However, one marker exploded into my table and computer as I opened it and another menaced likewise but luckily I averted the worst parts.
A tad expensive for what they offer, my guess is they would be fun for kids anyway.
That's my true take.
Hope it helps and clears things up.

If you're an artist or using this for crafting: AVOID.
This product is not a permanent marker. It's just a runny thick ballpoint/fountain pen. I have used this in place of Sharpie's permanent marker because I couldn't find my sharpie. This alternative is so disappointing because it smudges and starts to melt after being touched by water based sealer or spray paint. I have tested this on my Matryoshka doll; this product melted right away like eyeliner while the other permanent markers stayed perfectly. This pen is not good on wood or any other surfaces other than paper. Please improve this product. Thank you!

When I received Heininger 1020 CommuteMate "Flameless Flare", I had high hopes... real flares can be dangerous, messy, and difficult to use. I thought this might be the perfect thing to place in my old truck in the event I had a break-down. I also thought it might be good to take on my ATV trips in the event I break down on the trail and need to leave some kind of visible marker on my ATV along the trail.

Sad to say, I was rather disappointed. The flare is powered by two AAA batteries and a single red LED. In the daylight, the light output from the flare is barely noticeable. At night-time it is slightly more noticeable and might serve as a marker light on your car to someone who is paying attention. Or, if you were using it on a dark trail, it might be visible from a short distance. But it really is no brighter than the keyfob LEDs that are intended to assist in unlocking a door. The light is also uni-directional (only coming from one side of the flare), so careful positioning would be a must. I think it would be tricky to use as a map light, too, since maps often contain red text which would be difficult to see with a red light.

That said, I will not go as far as to claim that the product mis-represents itself. It is re-usable, and it could function as a secondary warning marker. It is not flammable, and it came with batteries which seems rare these days. The idea for the magnetic end that sticks to the sides of vehicles would be good, if most vehicles were made of steel. But many these days are made of fiberglass or aluminum and thus the magnet serves a limited purpose.

If this product were marketed as a sort of a secondary marker light, it might be acceptable. One could place it on top of their car or on the trunk as a "failsafe". After all, the more lights the better. However, the idea that it would serve as a "flare" is just not correct. If I were changing a tire along the side of a busy road, for example, I would have NO faith that anyone would see or notice this light in their headlights. I would expect something MUCH brighter for an application such as that, and given that expectation this product unfortunately fell short of both its name and purpose.

Can't believe I spent $5.79 on a felt-tip marker, a spec that was not highlighted. Then the first time I left the top off, it turned into an inkless stick.

First, let me say that this is a one-piece tag. The picture is deceiving as it looks like a two-piece tag. Actually, the designed part is one side and the label is the reverse side. Something I wish I'd known before I bought it... Second, when you look at the label side, there is a dark slip of vinyl covering the label, just take your finger and slide it out. Third, I actually like that this dark vinyl slip dulls the visible writing underneath, somebody would have to actually grab the tag to get a good look at your info. This is a nice addition in this day and age of prying eyes.

Update:  January 11, 2014.

I had to come back and mark this down to two stars as I lost one on the airplane!! I couldn't figure out how to make the cord stay and throughout the trip it kept coming loose.  I was constantly re-adjusting it! On the way home we were on a very small jet, and it was late, so when we arrived at the next stop, we were in a hurry to get off.  When we got to the next gate, I realized the tag was gone! I think it came off in the overhead, but who knows as no one ever mailed it back to me either.  At this price for one tag, I'm thinking now that it is not worth it if you have to also purchase a more secure strap.  I will not be replacing this! Stars taken off for how easily this keeps coming loose with the bungie strap included and for cost vs. the need to buy something additional to be able to use it without worry.  I bought two, so now I have an expensive tag I can't use!

I accidentally got magnesium foil after ordering titanium foil. (The company was nice and sent me another piece of titanium foil after an email.) This foil is very thin and has minimum structural strength. It can be cut into strips just like magnesium ribbon if so desired. If you cut a little sliver into the edge, it can be lit rather easily with an ordinary Bic lighter. This is impossible to do with ordinary thick magnesium ribbon. It seems to burn with more vigor than magnesium ribbon due to the increased surface area. It is more expensive than magnesium ribbon but probably worth it for specialized applications.

You can tell right away that this item is nothing more than cheap pot metal plated with some silvery substance. Am returning it before use, as it is clear the coating will flake off at first use.

The marker cannot be erased cleanly, leaving behind smears

Decent gage but the printing is so faint and easily removed that it would soon prove useless.
In order to prevent this from being a complete waste of money, I took 30 minutes and using my stamp letter set had to imprint on the sizes again.
Not a neat job but will last many years - in the event I do not lose it!

I bought 24mm / 0.94" tape, but the labeller identifies it as 0.70" heatshrink tape instead, so it can't print the full 0.94" high. Something is wrong with the identification notches on this cartridge.

I wish it did work; it's hard to find 24mm white on clear tape.

UPDATE - I figured out why. The plastic the cartridge is made of is so flimsy that the notches in the front weren't getting depressed properly, leading to the misidentification. A few carefully-placed pieces of tape fixed it, but really, I shouldn't have to futz with the cartridge like that!

I sent them the information upon purchasing, I never received a proof as it says you will. I took nearly a month to arrive. when I opened the package I was extremely disappointed to find a non-reflective sign (the lettering nor the background are reflective) and it was only printed on one side on very thin aluminum.  I think a stiff breeze would bend it. JUNK!

These are absolutely terrible markers by any standard.  They write a transparent watery line with very little color or metallic content.  Uneven density.  doesn't dry quickly-- wipes off.  Buy a sharpie.

Everybody is right: The sticker is horribly sticky and obstructs your vision of stuff. I soaked it overnight in soap water but still had to scrap the sticky part off with my nails. Luckily I didn't leave any significant scratches, and the remaining product is light and useful to me.

This is however too much trouble for a plastic ruler. Go to a stationery store and purchase one there instead.

"Protective?" coating comes off just in testing showing the metal under that will most certainly scratch the firearm. "STICKY?" has 0 stick.
