These are fun to have & can be concealed fairly easily: Very opaque white formula. These have a soft, squeezable body which is great for controlling flow while writing, but can make refilling them a b*tch, as the top is often screwed on very tightly: I have not yet been able to refill one of these without leaving some warping on the soft blue body, although this hasnt seemed to have an affect on how they write after refilling. Also, if air gets in thru the nib when the ink starts to run somewhat low, it helps to hold it upright with the pin (nib/tip) pressed down & squeeze the body to release any of the air inside.
I personally switched to the pen-shaped white-outs simply because i prefer writing with that traditional body style.
In my case these have become more of a novelty, but all things considered, you can't beat the price if you are a fan of the k-12, & if you are considering trying a k-12 for the first time, consider starting with one of these to see if the applicator meets your needs (but keep in mind they differ in terms of ink/paint formula: For example, the k-12's paint is thicker).  3 of 5 Stars!

A must have for those sneaky tags when having dinner with friends who don't write, when on a romantic date with the lady, or even just taking the doggies on a walk. Love hitting those grimey rusty spots with this. Always does the trick! The thin style of this pen looks fire with a wicked philly style (even though mine are objectively bad, it still looks awesome).

Really excited to try the press n go by AP to see how well it rivals. Looking forward to it! Metal heads ROCK!  5 of 5 Stars!

One of my all time favorites. Hella cutty, you won't even know it's in your pocket. I usually ways have a correction pen with me. Writes on just about anything. You can refill with all sorts of things too. Iike to add some ink sometimes to get custom colors. I recommend using it quick if you do. The tend to clog or deflate depending on what you mix in.  5 of 5 Stars!

Love this. One of the most consistent tools you can have. Easy to declog if it EVER happens, easy to use, easy to hide, and will even be given back to you if caught (from experience...hypothetically). Love this lil tool! An absolute must. Mini mop, mini marker and correction pen = lowkey bombing kit for 2022  5 of 5 Stars!

I got one while on a Graff mission pilgrimage in the City, it writes on everything. OTR SpeedWhite is perfect to refill, but I own 5 now and run everything from Garvey to OTR Soultip to Dirty Chrome. So versatile!  5 of 5 Stars!

Goes without saying for sure, but this is a classic. ive tried both this and the press n go *filled with the white magic ink**, and i ve got to say the paint formula that comes in this is thicker and more opaque then the white magic ink. as for the markers themselves, theyre practically the same thing. Ive had a very hard time refilling these, as once i pop the top off, i find its nearly impossible to get it back on. with the press n go you dont have that problem because its a screw on top. Overall if you just want a white marker go with this and buy them in bulk, and if you want color just go with the press n go and fill it with what you please. i like this better personally, because im a very black and white kinda guy.But, as GR says, youre your own grandpa, doowhatchalike!  5 of 5 Stars!

Whiteout pens and whiteout style pens take some practice to get used to, but they have a unique character. They're small, convenient to carry and can handle a variety of surfaces. By the time you make it through one, you should have easily gotten the hang of it.

I still think the presto is the king of this category. It's got the nicest feeling body to me. It's the softest. I still really like the AP press n go, but they're not quite as nice in the hand. Those are a bit stiffer if you're into that.

For refilling, you need to pop the top straight out, it doesn't unscrew. I find a 1" wide, very thin metal object such as a ruler helps to pry it off. You can use pliers and yank it, but you'll damage it. Up to you if you don't mind scratches. Refilling the AP press n go is definitely more convenient.

Try mixing some magic ink or pilot ink into it if you are tired of it being white.

It'll work with a variety of refill paints, but you want to use something on the thicker side unless you want insane dripping. OTR soultip paint is fairly drippy, whereas rusto bucket paint is pretty thick so it writes more cleanly. Refills for metal head markers also work really well.

If you've never tried one, $3.50 is a small price to check out this classic item.  5 of 5 Stars!

Ordered one of these to try and I honestly should've added 5 to my cart. These are f*cking dope. Super covering white paint and writes on pretty much every surface. Sick to get little tags up on the go plus fits right in your pocket.  5 of 5 Stars!

These sh*ts are the best! Great whiteout formula. Extremely durable, and the white pops like crazy. VERY opaque. Lotta people worry about how easily whiteout can scratch off, but tbh it doesn't really matter. Paint will scratch off just as easily when applied through such a thin tipped steel tip marker. Only trouble is that these are a bit hard to refill.
HOW TO REFILL: Take off the cap. Then, take a knife and carefully insert it between where the blue body and the white cap meet. After that, push up VERY hard. They come glued together, so opening it the first time can be a bit of a b*tch. After that, just experiment with the viscosity of the paint you're putting into it. ALSO, be aware of the solvent used in whatever paint you are putting in this, because some solvents DO severly break down the plastic.
OVERALL: Great marker. sh*t works great on poles, black power boxes, and any dark surfaces in general. DOES NOT REALLY DRIP!!!! You gotta squeeze hard and stop movin your hand to get drips, and it won't drip much anyway. So if you want drips, go cop an illadel mop at www.illadel.net , or if you're a toy go cop a krink.  5 of 5 Stars!

These things are the sh*t!

They conceal really easy and are great on the drips front. The only problem is that it's hard to tell how full it is, as the body is not translucent. They are great, and have a capacity of 12ml, for those wandering. I haven't refilled it yet, but I've heard they are easy to refill and can hold just about anything, including Smash. So glad AP carries these. If you even have the slightest doubt in your mind, get it. You can't beat $3.49.  5 of 5 Stars!

These are easily refillable for those that don't know. Use the correction fluid that's in it first, because it's good stuff, then grab the white plastic part with pliers, or channel locks and pull it straight out. It doesn't unscrew, there's no threads on it, it just pops straight out. You might have to wiggle it from side to side as you pull, but it will come off. Clean it out with some thinner, then fill it with whatever tickles your pickle, but I like using Smash, specifically the silver. Hope it's back in stock soon.  5 of 5 Stars!

Do yourself a favor and get at least 3 of these if you for whatever reason cant get your hands on an AP metal tip squeezer. These are awesome. They give mad crisp and opaque lines and are very easily portable and are surprisingly buff-resistant for a marker that isn't meant for graff. My only problem is it runs out after a couple days if you use it often! My solution: BUY MORE  5 of 5 Stars!

Bought one of these a bit ago, nice price here on AP. As the description mentions these little babies are the perfect size, you can catch quite a few tags with it too.
The best part about the Pentel Presto is the combination of a metal tip and a squeezable body. You can write on practically any surface (except of course very rough surfaces like concrete) and the squeezable body allows you to write pretty fast. In my area, are very very popular. Great for electrical boxes, signs, and any plastic surfaces.  5 of 5 Stars!

I'm really glad AP has these, because I can never find these in office supply stores anymore. I like these a lot better than the White-Out pens. The major difference between this one and the pen shaped ones is obviously the body, but also the nib is slightly longer on the White-Out pens. With the metal point on the nib being shorter, you don't have to push the nib in as far to get the paint to flow, and it seems like it doesn't get snagged on things as easily either. The body on the Presto is more solid too, which means it doesn't warp or get twisted up as easily when it comes time to refill it.  5 of 5 Stars!

Whooo! If your from Philly you know about these beasts! The best tooly to blast off on signs, hydrants, mirrors, any damn thing you didn't pay for. From wickets to one liners these things are versatile. This bright white POPS off the wall when you write, and depending on the squeeze you can go from skinny lines to diarrhea drips in seconds. Top 4 favorite weird spots to hit with this (the poles on street signs, the metal on urinals, shopping cart handles, napkin dispensers,) Also this thing is only as big as an enema so you can hide it up in your @$$ from the jakes, true story no homo.

Hot damn... on it's own, this little beast is a hard staining mofo of a pen.
But suppose you want to right on more than black surfaces?
Fill that sucker up with some smash, a drop or two of garvey, and you got yourself the baddest little inker you could hope for.
Be aware when refilling, however, that some of the white inevitably remain- your inks will take on a considerably paler hue once inside.

The one minor gripe;
After refilling, putting the top back on can be a pain in the ass, especially getting it back over that last retention thread (try it- you'll see what I mean.)

All in all, I would absolutely advise anyone to buy it- it's cheep, fits easily in your pocket, has great control, and can offer bite-sized portions of smash if needed.  5 of 5 Stars!

This lil' S.O.B. is by far the best correction pen there is. It also stands alone as a unique and effective writing tool, and the white paint is surprisingly permanent, (weatherproof, fade proof). Yes you can refill them too. You should definitely get one of these because the way they "flow" allows the writer to make tags unique only to this type of pen. (P.S. It's squeezable, so you can get clean or drippy lineage.)  5 of 5 Stars!

The "Presto" is pretty much the best white out pen. It has a crazy bright-white super fast drying ink and you can squeeze it to regulate the flow. Probably the best thing about this marker it that you can pop the top off and refill it with anything when it's empty, (I use Smash). This thing is always in my pocket.  5 of 5 Stars!

MAEM 10/07/2009
these refillabe, metal tip correction pens are dope.. they're the best small applicator for smash inks, hands down.. i got two smaller bic versions, the tip looks the same except the body is thinner and more pen-like i think this holds a little more than 8ml. i filled one with pink and the other with teal, they worked perfectly! the result is small drippy tags that get the "wtf did they do that with?" reaction, especially when you use funky colors.

i definitely recommend this along with smash as a refill.  5 of 5 Stars!

These pens right here are the best white out pen out there.
I got on at office depot awhile back, and fell in love right away.
When it gets about half full, put a few drops of some Pilot or Garvey ink, and you will have something beautiful.
White T-Grade plus some Garvey owns all. Pick one up. You won't be sorry.  5 of 5 Stars!
