Silver-Streak® and Red-Riter® Beat Torch Heat with Highly Visible Marks
ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL - The right marking tools are essential on any welding job for precision, efficiency and most importantly, safety. Further expanding the most-wide ranging and high performance line of industrial marking tools, Markal announces the introduction of Silver-Streak and Red-Riter welders pencils. Ideal for the rigorous conditions of metal layout and fabrication, the new Silver-Streak and Red-Riter welders pencils offer torch resistant, highly visible marks on all types of metal surfaces.
A marking must for any welder or fabricator, Silver-Streak and Red-Riter welders pencils leave marks that illuminate when cutting or welding for extra visibility. Marks will not burn or run off like soapstone, but they will stay put even on oil, rusty or wet surfaces, without scratching them. Unlike competitive brands, the pencils' hexagonal shape reduces barrel roll when set down on a flat or slightly sloped surface and can also be conveniently sharpened with any standard pencil sharpener.
Silver-Streak and Red-Riter welders pencils, available respectively in silver and red, also come in metal marker form. This family of metal markers are resistant to torch flames and come standard with durable metal and plastic holders, as well as a handy pocket clip to prevent breakage.
