Edding 8850 Long Nib Marker, Black

The Edding 8850 Long Nib Marker is a professional-grade tool engineered for precision marking in challenging environments. Featuring an exceptionally long and thin metal-tipped nib, this marker is specifically designed to reach deep into drill holes, narrow gaps, and confined spaces where standard markers cannot fit. The permanent, quick-drying black ink ensures that your markings remain clear and legible on a wide variety of materials, making it an indispensable asset for construction, electrical installation, and mechanical assembly tasks.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this marker is its unique extended nib, which allows for accurate marking through mounting holes or tight assembly points without the need for disassembly. The robust construction of the tip ensures durability even when used against rough surfaces common in construction sites. Furthermore, the permanent ink is resistant to smudging and fading, providing long-lasting visibility. The ergonomic barrel design allows for a steady grip, ensuring that you can maintain control and precision even during extended periods of use.

Suitable for

• Marking through drill holes in metal, wood, or plastic
• Installation work in electrical and plumbing systems
• Precision marking in tight assembly gaps
• Professional construction and renovation projects

When it may not be suitable

This marker is not intended for use on highly porous or oily surfaces where the ink may bleed or fail to adhere properly. It is also not recommended for applications requiring removable markings, as the permanent ink is designed to be long-lasting and is difficult to remove from non-porous materials.

Key specifications

• Ink color: Black
• Nib type: Extra-long, thin metal-tipped
• Ink properties: Permanent, quick-drying
• Application: Multi-surface

How to use

To use the Edding 8850, simply remove the cap and position the long, thin nib into the desired drill hole or gap. Apply light pressure to the surface to create your mark. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application to achieve the best results. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the ink from drying out prematurely.

What to consider before purchase

• Check if the depth of the hole exceeds the length of the marker nib
• Verify that the surface material is compatible with permanent ink
• Consider the diameter of the hole to ensure the thin nib can pass through freely

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, store the marker in a horizontal position when not in use. If the tip becomes dry, store it with the nib pointing downward for a short period to allow the ink to flow back into the tip.
