how long do these markers typically last just using them for simple tasks like grocery list or calander etc. Not for heavy drawing or major use. ?

My white one died after 2 months, which is troubling since all i use this for is grocery list and calendar. My yellow one is doing okay so far; however, i'm noticing that the way the ink comes out is not really consistent. With this one, it comes out fine when i write with the tip, but not that well when i use the entire surface (like how you would use the highlighter). Haven't used other colors yet.

I have had mine for awhile now, and I use them almost daily. So far, no deterioration of the marks.

I have found that they last just as long as X-Acto #11s for what I use them for (cutting paper of various thickness for decoupage). I cannot vouch for how long they last against something harder like plastic or wood but if you are cutting paper or thin cardboard, they are well worth it!

Howdy, I have only had my set for about two months and used them maybe six times. The manual says that the product life is roughly six months with daily constant use. So I am sure that six months is the low end on the interval on which these are good to use. In my personal opinion I believe that these will last much longer than six months.

we rent them where i work. so they get heavy use and abuse. typically they're used 3 or 4 days a week and last over a year before needing brushes. we usually sell them after a year and a half and they're still going strong.

I found that regular sharpies worked better, actually. It seems these markers wore off far more quickly...sadly. I have a few mugs that I did this past summer that still have designs on them. I put my cups through the dishwasher, intentionally, to test the durability. I have to say, regular sharpies work better.

Mr. Guzowski, these markers were a part of a Christmas gift to my three young grandsons and their use has not been evaluated for use on the light designer. Sorry I am not able to answer your question to your satisfaction.

They last a long time if you are careful - I only replaced my last one because I pushed on one corner too hard, bending it and stopping sand paper sticking properly. Would have been a few years old.

I don't know off the top of my head, but I know you can easily use them for 3-4 months without a problem. Most "hard" supplies are usually good for at least a year or more -- and diabetic supplies like this typically last 2-3 months at most. Hope that helps.

No. When they are gone, they are gone. But they seem to last quite a while. I have only used them for a coloring book for studying but I gave a pack to someone that uses them more often and they have lasted a long time.

I am a kindergarten teacher and have placed these on my table for guided reading groups, small math groups, and small writing groups. They do peel off easily. They leave a slight sticky residue, but that easily comes off the table with a baby wipe. I have not tried to restick them after peeling them off because as I said, I teach kindergarten and use them for many small group activities. The children eventually have messed with them enough that I have to replace them due to wear and tear. Because of this, I cut them in half just to make the pack last longer.

I use them on paper and I think they're considered permanent markers so I don't think they would work well as dry erase as might not come off.

These markers were purchased for my son whose artistic endeavors right now is ink on paper. I don't believe he's done anything on fabric. So, I can't say for certain. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer. Perhaps they can specify as to how well they'll hold up on certain fabrics washed (or dry-cleaned) under certain circumstances and for how long. I can say that he has enjoyed these pens for his drawings.

My kids lost interest in this toy fairly quickly, so we never had to replace the markers. I would check with Crayola or I would think dry erase marker would work as a fine replacement also.

I would say permanent marker. They are not shiny at all and I feel a fabric marker may bleed.

#2 pencil lasts a long time. Some labels still legible written in 1998. Sun & water don't affect.
