Full details

The Marxman Professional Marking Tools CDU is designed for tradespeople and DIYers who need a quick and clear way to mark surfaces before drilling or fixing.

A caveat is that the Deep Hole version is not recommended for marking distances under 45mm. This CDU contains 30 marking tools, a mix of Standard (for holes up to 45mm) and Deep Hole (for exceeding 45mm) variants, each providing over 250 bursts of fluorescent green pigment.

FAQs

How many marks can I expect from one Marxman tool?

Each Marxman Professional Marking Tool contains enough pigment for over 250 bursts of marking.

What is the difference between the Standard and Deep Hole tools?

The Standard tool is designed for marking locations for fixings up to 45mm deep. The Deep Hole tool features a special nozzle that shoots pigment further and more accurately, recommended for jobs with fixing holes exceeding 45mm, such as fence posts.

Can I use these tools on wet surfaces?

While the pigment is designed to adhere, marking on very wet surfaces may reduce clarity and longevity. It's best to mark on dry or slightly damp surfaces for best results.

Is the green pigment permanent?

The pigment is designed to be visible for planning and should be removable. However, on porous surfaces, if left for an extended period, it may become more difficult to remove completely.

Can I use the Deep Hole tool for short distances?

While it might technically work, the Deep Hole tool's specialized nozzle is designed for longer distances (over 45mm). Using it for shorter distances may result in less accurate or wider marks than intended.

How should I store the marking tools?

Store them in a cool, dry place with the cap securely on to prevent the tip from drying out and to protect it.

What kind of surfaces can these tools mark?

They can mark a wide variety of surfaces including brick, metal, wood, concrete, plaster, pebbledash, porcelain, and ceramic.

Troubleshooting

Tool not marking or mark is faint

Ensure the tip is clean and free from debris. Press firmly and directly onto the surface. For the Deep Hole tool, confirm you are marking at a distance greater than 45mm for optimal function. The tool may be nearing the end of its lifespan if over 250 bursts have been used.

Pigment smudging immediately after marking

Allow a few seconds for the pigment to set on the surface, especially on very smooth or non-porous materials. Avoid touching the mark immediately after application.

Deep Hole tool nozzle appears blocked

Gently try to clear the nozzle opening with a soft brush or a blast of compressed air. Do not insert sharp objects into the nozzle, as this may cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Marxman Professional Marking Tools require no setup. They are ready to use straight out of the CDU. Simply remove a tool and press the tip firmly against the desired surface to release the pigment.

Compatibility: These tools are compatible with a wide array of building materials, including:

Care:

  • Store the tools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the cap on when not in use to prevent the tip from drying out and to protect it from damage.
  • Clean any accidental pigment marks from surfaces promptly with a damp cloth, though complete removal from porous materials may require a specific cleaner if left for a long time.
  • Avoid excessive force on the tip, as this can damage the tool.
