These are "arts" type pens, not a permanent "work" type marker or pen. The colour assortment in this set is perfect for basic user who needs just to add a little colour to a few items that are not going to be subjected to weather or heavy use. As they contain water-based colouring medium they are not appropriate for items that will get wet. Neither are they very good for smooth, hard, non-porous surfaces such as metal, hard or dark plastics, or glass although they will leave a light mark on glass. They work well on paper without a finish, I have used them to good effect on copier paper, school notebook paper, pressed cardboard, construction paper (white ONLY as they do not show up well on any coloured papers) and even a dry-marker board where they are good for making semi-permanent lines which will not wipe off as easily as standard dry markers but can still be easily washed off.
On unfinished or tooling leather these marker pens seem to work really well. They mark easily on skin too, but wash off easily and I had no skin reaction to them even after testing them on forearm for full day; but wouldn't use around eyes or mouth as no idea what is in these as their colouring medium.
The pen construction seems to be good, but they are relatively LONG, 7.5" without cap.
the very fine brush tip is a "brush" tip and has small amount of flex in it so the very sharp point "gives" and you get a much broader line than the extremely sharp tip would first suggest even under very light pressure. That said the tips on both ends do seem to be very strong and not prone to fraying or "mushing".
All worked, none were dried-out or hard to start working. How much marker fluid they actually have in them and how long they will last, I cannot comment on due to limited use so far.
Overall seem to be excellent little "niche" product with good quality fine points.

Bright vibrant colors from these markers. I got the small set since I have been disappointed with other markers in the past. But these will definitely be a repeat buy with the larger sets.
