This is exactly the (hobbyist) motivation that led me to pick it up when I saw it in a store. I don't need it frequently enough for hobby projects to justify getting dykem/layout fluid, but this will work in a pinch and has alternative uses.
... I used it yesterday to mark some wood that needed to be routered flush to take off a high spot.

You vs the guy your wife told you not to worry about.

Plot twist: she prefers a fine point.

It's nice that she told you that.

That would be perfect for poster making. I need to get one for the kids' projects.

these are great. I used them in steel workshops where everything had some residue or other that would permanently ruin a sharpie

If those smell like other ones I've used, you'll REALLY enjoy your projects now.

How long is the longest part of the tip? I've been using Sharpie magnums, but I may switch!
clif@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 146d
Approximately 1.5cm. I'm attaching a picture but with skew, perspective, scale, lighting, etc it's not a perfect example.
aramis87@fedia.io · 2 pts · 146d
That's a big bigger than the Sharpie, and likely cheaper - I'll probably switch. Thank you for letting me know about this!

Indeed, cheaper and mark on more surfaces. They also last longer. I use these in the kitchen, in the garden and marking trees for grafting.

Damn. I've only seen Sharpies (and rando graffiti pen brands) with markers that big.

This is just propaganda from Big Marker.

Don't get jealous. How you use it is more important than size ; )
