Pros: Solid body, easily replacable nibs, decent ink capacity, can be drippy or not, comes in a wide variety of decent colors. The only real "con" to these markers is that replacement nibs are absurdly expensive (like $2 apiece, which is highway robbery), and also another problem isn't with the markers themselves, but with the ink. The ink dries very fast and it is slightly sticky, so your nib can drag on lines that you just wrote a moment ago, which can disrupt your flow. If you write really fast it isn't a problem really but if you're taking your time and/or trying to do calligraphy stuff it can mess you up. Also, the ink is pretty easy to buff if you're not writing on a very porous surface. Overall I'd say these are dope and I have no major issues with them, and own several that I use with various concoctions inside.

I have a brown one of these. I like the shape, I like the coolness of the glass body (even if I sometimes worry about breaking it), and the thing that I love most of all about these lil' dudes is that you never have to juice them or worry about drips. They just write and write and write. They also stain pretty well too for being an oil based formula. CONS: At $4 a pop they aren't cheap when you consider other options available... also they write fairly small lines so if you're trying to go big you might as well not bother. They also do have that classic "magic marker" smell to them so they aren't exactly best for trying to be sneaky. For what they are they are awesome, I just wish they were maybe a dollar less expensive and also as far as I know you can't find refills for these.

Just copped one of these in purple after wanting one for a while. It's awesome. My next project is gonna be buying four of these streaks and splitting them for some 4-ways. I'm gonna go with purple, neon green, blue, and orange. Can't wait!

So I bought one of the silver hobo markers based upon recommendations here in the reviews. For $3 I'd say it is totally worth it. It is not as smooth / buttery as the AP streakers but it's silver, and it is smoother than the other hobo markers IMO... it's a pretty decent silver too. From far away it just looks gray but if you get close and have light shining on it at the right angle it's about on par with typical silver paint. The advantage to this vs. simply using a small mop with some silver paint is that it has no smell and you don't gotta worry about leaks. The main complaint that I have about it is the annoying scab that you have to peel off every time you wanna use it, because as far as I know there's no easy way of getting it off, and you end up with silver fingers unless you're wearing gloves. My fingers are silver as I type this. Overall I am going to give this product a 4 out of 5 stars due having to deal with the annoying scab and also due to the fact that these don't have a cap of any sort so if you carry it in your pocket you're gonna get everything in there silver unless you keep it in a little ziploc bag.

Just got one of these in white a couple of days ago. I can't say anything bad about it. It writes very well, the price is decent, and you get more product than you do with other streakers. I should have bought some other colors!
5 stars.

I bought two of these - one white, and one black. I saw the AP video with these in it and wanted to give 'em a whirl. At $1.99 each it's not much of a gamble. I expected these to be kinda like streakers, but they aren't. As far as I can tell they are kinda like big, chalky crayons. I have no idea how well they would hold up in outdoor environments. Also, the white one wipes off VERY easily from what I've noticed (just simply smudging them off with a fingertip takes seconds) so I don't know how I feel about these.
Pro: cheap, easily concealable, cool Japanese writing, basically odorless, doesn't seem to 'scab up' like the hobo marker
Con: the white one wipes off very easy, has limited graffiti applications in my opinion

For the price how can you complain? It exactly as advertised. My only complaint is I feel that the body isn't squeezy enough. If it were slightly softer / easier to squeeze, this thing would be perfect. I guess I just gotta break mine in a bit. 5 stars!

I just got this marker from artprimo a couple of days ago. I love the metal barrel and the ink is nice and opaque. I kinda wish the nib was a little wider but that's a small complaint. Overall I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars, with the reason behind that being the price. It's $7.99 when you can get Pilot Jumbos for less than half of that price, and they're both refillable. It's a great marker, but perhaps a bit too expensive for what it is. The all-Japanese writing on it is pretty cool though.
