To start off im going to go over the features and “claims” from Milwaukee about what this tool can do over a plain old marker
- Clog Resistant Marker Tip
- Writes through Dusty, Wet and Oily Surfaces
- Durable Marker Tip for Writing on Concrete, OSB and Rough Surfaces
For this Review I will be testing this marker on a sheet of metal. As you can see in the 2nd picture it is very dusty! In the 2nd picture i marked off a section with the inkzall where its perfectly clean (so it should work just like any other brand of marker). In the 3rd picture you can see a section where it is dusty and the marker went right through the dust and put a nice clean mark on the metal.
Now in the 4th picture I used a Gun oil and wiped it down but left a little bit. (didn’t mark it when there was a puddle of oil) As you can see with a small amount left it will still mark the metal.
As for the 5th Picture i used 15W40 Diesel engine oil and what you see is a puddle that the Milwaukee Inkzall penetrated through!!!! and in the 6th picture i wiped it down til there was a little bit of diesel oil left and they all marked it perfectly.
Pros:
- Well Built
- Will penetrate through the toughest oils
- Has a spot to hang from a lanyard
- You can clip it to your hard hat
- Colors are Very Bright and easy to see
- Will not roll away on you while you are busy working
- Works Great on metal
Cons:
- I Would have liked to have seen a white colored marker
- All of the 4 colors don’t show up well on darker colored metals and painted surfaces

Mine dried out in under 5 months. Bone dry inside a veto tool bag. I should specify, I was only using one, the others stayed in the bag with the caps on.

Hmm…. there is a limited lifetime warranty on the marker just to let you know. I’d call Milwaukee and see if you can get a new one.
Impressive, but I try to keep my projects a little cleaner. Maybe because I never had one of these markers!
So I’ve had mixed feelings on the inkzall, the skinny ones seem to work better in wet conditions than the fatter version. I purchased these for use at my job where I am a butcher so naturally I had to test them out using them on bloody cardboard, beef blood that is. Needless to say it didn’t write but I have noticed that it writes rather well on dusty lumber.
