Quartet Dry Erase Markers, Whiteboard Markers, Fine Tip, ReWritables, Mini, Magnetic, Classic Colors, 6 Pack (51-659312Q)

You could be skeptical with the $3.47 total price for a set of dry erase markers WITH erasers and magnets. Or you could have a little faith and very little risk and make an easy order. Arriving on-time, the six Quartet Re-Writable markers were packaged in a reusable, clear plastic case with a hanger. The print on the front of the package says 6 Fine Quartet Dry-Erase Markers with “Clean Erase and Low Odor” printed above. My set contained classic colors: blue, red, green, purple, yellow and black. There are options online for additional fun color sets.Let’s get right to the important features, specs and applications which make this the choice for many customers. First, the markers are shorter and thinner than markers made with thick chisel tips and larger ink supplies intended for larger dry-erase boards viewed at a longer distance (Quartet sells those as well). These pens are shorter and narrower. Easy to hold and use, these fine point markers are also great for those smaller hands. The pen cap contains an easy-to-use eraser which will eliminate the well-used “finger” eraser. Also on the cap is a magnet which attaches to magnetic surfaces and keeps the marker within easy reach. In addition, the magnet provides an alternate storage option allowing convenient placement if you want to keep them out of the package and close to the board you are using. Keeping them on or near the board should reduce the risk of loss. Because of the smaller ink supply, with a bit of effort, the pens can be stored with the cap facing down keeping the ink moving towards the tip and potentially reducing dried out markers. The marker colors run vivid to normal and are a sufficiently close match to the cap color.Some of the applications I use the markers for include boards in the kitchen and boards that come with my children’s toys. My wife has a small board for her own reminders that she keeps on the small built in desk off the kitchen. The board is a bit larger than an 8 ½” x 11” piece of paper and uses just one pen to her notes. On the refrigerator are two boards, one for the grocery list and another for messages. The magnet makes it very easy to store the pens on the frig where they are the most convenient. The children have several toys that include dry erase boards. These pens work especially well with those boards. The colors are easily visible on these boards, storage nearby is easy with the attached magnet and the eraser is useful not only as an eraser but also a tool to teach and remind the children of future erasers they will need to use like the one on the #2 pencil. And don’t forget these markers are low odor making them safer for children. I could also see teachers using these pens for their personal boards and students for school lockers.Overall I am very satisfied with this innovative set. They get the job done and are an excellent value. These markers are not intended to be used to write on boards viewed across a business conference room or school classroom. When used with smaller boards and shorter viewing distances, they are the product to choose.

Been using these for over a year to take quick notes on my tiny wall whiteboard. I haven't done any extensive writing with them. The colors are vibrant. Very low odor. I love the small size and the tip erasers it comes with. Only problem I've had was that the glue on the markers' magnets got old so the magnets fell off, causing the markers to fall too. But it's a really small issue. Instead of sticking them on the whiteboard I put them in a pen holder now. Key is to store them upside down to get the darkest ink. Would recommend!

Great product, for the ones that work. At first, only half of the box worked. After storing them tips down for 3 days, all but one work.

1) they stick to the board, and I am the QUEEN of misplacing everything, every minute of my life2) they are fine tip, and i write, a LOT so the fine tip lets me write more and doesnt let it look blurry - bigger tips start to look like a mess3) did i say i could always find them since they are stuck to the board?4) they have the erasers attached, no looking for the eraser, which means the eraser is with the board full time too - did i mention i lose everything?5) here is a tip - put them on the board UPSIDE DOWN, that way they will not dry out as fast, they are small and light weight so they can hang on the board, but standing straight up makes the ink flow away and dry out over time, they last longer if you have the tip pointing down.I have had other magnetic ones - like the triangle one and like these better specifically because of the fine tip, they are cheaper than the wide tiped triangle ones too, we go through a set every 6 months? but we use them a LOTand the best part, i always know where they are.

I bought these pens with one ultimate goal: to erase what I wrote. I saw many comments that the ink is too light, but here's the deal... my goal is to ERASE what I wrote. I don't want my to-do list to be on my whiteboard for more than a week. Yes, the yellow is light and hard to read, but the likelihood that I'm writing full paragraphs in yellow is slim to none. It's an accent color, and I'll use it as such. If your ultimate goal for your dry erase marker is for longevity, then you should probably not buy these. Maybe consider a permanent marker instead. If your ultimate goal is to make notes that you'll erase, then yes... buy these markers!PRO TIP: keep your markers tip-down. All markers, not just these, to encourage the ink to flow in the right direction.

I use these to write on my refrigerator, so the magnetic feature was interesting. The magnet is too weak and it falls off with the slightest jostle. The ink isn't very dark, and the eraser part broke off at the pen line the second time I used it.

I use these for my dry erase board calendar. They are nice because they have a magnet on one side so you can stick them directly on the board. And I love they have an eraser on the end cap. The trick is to put them on there with the eraser side facing down. That way you always have a good amount of ink when writing. If you hang them the opposite way, they write to faint. So make sure to have them pointing eraser down.

Love that they have a fine point, magnet for hanging on the refrigerator and bright colors.
