Retractable Design for One-Handed Operation These Sharpies feature a retractable design for easy one-handed operation. There's no cap to remove or lose; a convenient click top opens or closes without struggle. Filled with quick-drying ink that's AP certified non-toxic, each and every marker creates a vivid, long-lasting mark on plastics, glass, metal, tape, and, of course, paper.

And they're ideal for creating labels for plastic bins that hold toys, tools, or seasonal clothing.
About Sharpie Developed by the Sanford Ink Company, which was founded in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1857 by Frederick W. Redington and William H. Sanford, Jr., the Sharpie Fine Point marker hit the market in 1964. It quickly became known as the first pen-style permanent marker that could write on almost any surface--from glass, wood and stone, to plastic, metal and, of course, paper. Endorsed by celebrities like NBC talk show hosts Johnny Carson and Jack Parr, the Sharpie marker quickly gained prominence.
In the late nineties and early 2000s, the company introduced Sharpie markers in a variety of new, fun colors, including aqua, berry, turquoise and lime. By the end of 2002, over 200 million Sharpie markers had been produced, enough for approximately two Sharpie markers for every household in America!

Everyone should have these:
I saw these on sale and since I love Sharpies, I got this set. I had never used the retractable type before and found I really like the convenience of not having to remove and snap a cap back on. The set has a very nice selection of colors and the fine tip is perfect for addressing packages, writing on labels, etc. I'm sure I'll be replacing these as they wear out, as I do my thicker tip Sharpies. They don't have the smooth ball action of a fine tip marker, as my niece pointed out, but then they are... more info
Great Idea!:
Pros:
-Love simple but great ideas. I am a klutz, so there are more than a few times I lose the cap of my markers or forget to seal it back. This is not as bad for a ballpoint pens, but for markers, forget it. Next day, the tip is as dry as a board.
-It is a one-piece writing device. Cons:
-Tip is a wedge and not the round types, so you need to position the marker properly in your hand to use it.
-You still need to remember to click it back to retract. :)
Sharpie is a Sharpie:
If you like Sharpies - you'll love these! The click-tops are really convenient and they come in a little plastic pouch to keep them organized.
