Very clever design... wonder why no one did this before.

The retractable design is nice too since you don't have to keep up with the caps!

I can not read my writing through the "highlights".I like the retractable design in a of a range of colors, but it was not executed with proper highlighting ink.

Love the retractable design, but they ran out more quickly than I expected

First of all, the new retractable design seems to be a complete success.

All of this bums me out because I love having such a variety of colors

I love having a variety of bright colors to highlight with

Very vibrant colors and the variety of colors is great!!

I love the variety of colors that they come in and use them for everything!!!

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

Also, at this ridiculous price, who can say no?

love itgreat and cheap price for starting school

Very good variety, good price, shipped fast, good quality

I use these all the time and I like the fact that they are retractable and they were a very good price.

THESE ARE AMAZING AND WORK BEAUTIFULLY FOR A GREAT PRICE!!

And, as you'd expect of Sharpie, it's a good, reliable product

They are not terrible products but they are not my cup of tea

Really good product I love using these highlighters for college

great product, bleeds a little but thankful for ease of click to utilize ink

Sharpie always makes a great product, and these are no different!

I love my colors and sharpie is never a let down purchase

Sharpie promises the no smear promise, which I am very happy about

I like these sharpie because they are like ink pins, so easy to use and I like the varities of colors that they

We love these Sharpie highlighters and love that they are retractable so they are easy to use.

The sharpie insignia smears off with a wet hand

These are good quality highlighters and they don't smear or bleed, but they are glorified markers with a chiseled tip

These markers are a great quality, they are small highlighters so good for tight spaces and very pigmented

I bought these highlighters thinking that because they are made by Sharpie they would be of good quality

They are of good quality and you don't have to keep up with a cap!

Very poor quality

The retractable feature of these highlighters makes them the best

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

But if I was the manufacturer, I would be embarrassed that the phrase "smear guard" rubs off on the user's hands.(-)The retractable feature is a little loud

It would have been nice if the retractable feature was less noisy, especially if you're studying in a public place, but nevertheless, i would purchase this again.

The pens themselves are nice, the retractable feature is great.

They come in a handy soft plastic case so I can keep track of them.

They even come with a handy plastic carrying case so you can stay organized.

I like how they came with a clear case to keep the highlighters organized.

cheap plastic casing and inks will dry easily because of the opening at the tip but a hassle free all in one go purchase if you need a large number of colors

They come in a nice clear, reusable plastic case that is convenient for storage purposes

The pinks,blues, and green are too dark to us as a highlighter, but the lighter colors work great.

However, I was kind of sad that my orange highlighter was DULL in color

The retractable highlighter allows me to work quickly and efficiently

Additionally, the darker highlighter colors, as other reviewers have pointed out, make it difficult to read text.

I love the different colors and the idea of a retractable highlighter.

The pens themselves are nice, the retractable feature is great.

too!And since the pens are retractable, NO MORE TOPS TO LOSE!Five stars!

I love the clickity-click of this & all retractable pens!

I love retractable pens because I don't have to worry about losing the lids

I enjoy having pens and highlighters that click because I don't have to worry about losing the cap and the pen or highlighter drying out.

This multi-pack serves its purpose well, and I love the convenience of having a retractable tip instead of having to mess with removing caps.

I love the idea of the retractable markers, but they have a weird tip

The retractable tip works well - after several months the pens are all still "juicy" and work great.

Highlight marker with convenient retractable tip helps to keep from drying out early.

(hehe):-Sharpie Retractable Highlighters are my FAVORITE highlighter, by far.-Smaller, more precise chisel tip- not those big fat ones I used in high school-The retractable tip mechanism really keeps these from drying out.

So if you're going to highlight text in books or other paper, go with another brand that is not as heavy as these, or go with just the yellow; otherwise the text is virtually impossible to read

Can't use several of the colors because they cover up text, like a dark marker

(The yellow is a SUPER bright neon.)The other colors are good, although the red, fuchsia, and darker blue are pretty dark - you need to make sure you only use them on very dark text or type or they will partially obscure the words

The colors are very saturated, which looks nice, but can make the highlighted text a little difficult to read, and I've had some bleed-through on reasonably thick textbook pages.

Highlighting is supposed to illuminate the text for easy reference but the darker colors make it almost impossible to see.

It is great to have so many colors and to not have to worry about losing the cap on one

A great assortment of colors, and because they are retractable you'll never lose the cap!

Great for the classroom as you do not have to worry about losing the caps.

Work very well, no caps to lose since they are retractable.

I love the retractable feature of this marker, colors are good and all but the tips are kind of hard, the sharpie accent that is short and has a cap are much smoother

I like it and will use it but the darker colors are a bit too dark for regular

However, be careful with the darker colors, they will bleed a little bit but not enough to blot out the opposite page.

but it makes me work a bit more than necessary when studying.

The only "complaint" I would have is some of the colors like the red and purple are bit dark, so they're more like markers than highlighters

Purchased as gift, and receiver of gift enjoyed them quite a bit.

unfortunately, they bleeds through thin papers such as the bible page or recycled newspapers.

The darker shades can be a little hard to see, but once they dry on the paper they become lighter

and when i got back to use it, it was as smooth as when it was closed

but I do find the darker shades are a bit too dark to read through.

They do not lighten over time becoming an odd shade of what you thought it was.

While a couple of the colors are darker, none are too dark to read through

Amazing colors last couple of minutes dont buy.

The highlighter is a bit finer in thickness than I was expecting and a couple of the colors are pretty dark to be considered a

However, a couple of the colors are pretty dark when used, so it made certain words hard to read whenever I highlighted over them.

They do work well though on regular paper but a couple are very dark.

The darker colors (purple, red, dark blue) are lasting way better but the lighter ones don't

Cons:-Thinner tip than standard highlighter-Blue and Purple are two dark

I think the dark blue and red are fine, but the purple is far, far too dark.

the dark blue & purple are kind of hard to read through, but still do-able

Orange is OK, but the red, dark blue, and purple are just too dark,

Ironically I smudged the very bit that says "smear guard

Apparently the smear guard wasn't used on the product branding

and when i got back to use it, it was as smooth as when it was closed

Sharpie's chisel-tip, Smear Guard highlighters were much better.

The most significant difference is the smear guard, which dries much faster than the old ink

Orange is OK, but the red, dark blue, and purple are just too dark,

The dark blue and purple are like the red, too dark for a highlighter

The darker colors (blue, purple, red) aren't dark at all

The dark blue, red, and magenta are too dark for highlighting

The red, dark blue, and purple (?) are more like markers....

Also, the pencil mark did bleed a little with the use of the yellow highlighter over it

great product, bleeds a little but thankful for ease of click to utilize ink

One benefit of the drier application for lefties is that it bleeds less onto your hand than other similar pens.

Great assortment of colors, nice narrow tips, and seriously smudge proof- even on slick coated paper.

I find the highlighters to not smear any ink once once the pen ink is fully dried, unlike some other highlighters that seem to have a solvent quality about them that will smear many inks even after drying, so kudos to Sharpie for the virtually smear-proof properties of these highlighters.

Also like all the other Sharpie products these highlighters are smear proof

For the most part these are smear proof, but if you have a tendency to really press down hard on the paper then that will cause the marker to smear, but even then it's not that bad

No worries about losing a cap.

The tips retract into the barrel of the highlighter to keep the ink from drying out, while no more worries about lost caps or loose caps falling off

No worries about loosing the cap, because there is no cap

Saves the chance of losing the lid and are great for quick use without drying out.

Feel a little nerdy being so excited about these highlighters, but I felt like they saved me sooo much time when I was reading, in addition to saving me the headache of losing my lids

There are no lost lids and because there is not a removable cap, they can’t detach from the clips, therefore, you can clip them all over the place.2

I love retractable pens because I don't have to worry about losing the lids
