MKL96007EA - Markal Silver-Streak Round Metal Marker Refills (6-Pack)

High-Visibility Layout for Professional Fabrication

The Markal Silver-Streak Round Refills (MKL96007) represent a significant upgrade over traditional soapstone for professional welders and metal fabricators. Designed to fit the Markal Silver-Streak round mechanical holder, these refills provide a marking solution that addresses the common frustrations associated with standard layout tools. The core innovation lies in the unique reflective lead formula. Unlike soapstone, which can be difficult to see once the welding arc is struck or the cutting torch is lit, Silver-Streak marks reflect the light generated by the process. This creates an illuminated line that remains clearly visible through a welder's filter plate, ensuring superior accuracy during cuts and welds.

Durability on Difficult Surfaces

One of the biggest challenges in industrial environments is marking on less-than-perfect surfaces. Standard markers and soapstone often fail when encountering oil, grease, rust, or moisture. The Silver-Streak formula is engineered to mark on all metal surfaces, including those that are oily or wet. This versatility makes it an essential tool for repair work, heavy construction, and bridge fabrication where materials are rarely pristine. Furthermore, the marks are highly durable; they will not rub off easily during handling, will not blow away when using compressed air to clean a joint, and are fire-resistant so they won't burn off under the intense heat of a torch.

Precision and Convenience

These round refills are designed to maintain a consistent shape for finer lines compared to the broad edge of flat soapstone. This pack contains six refills, ensuring that fabricators have an ample supply for extensive layout projects. By using a mechanical holder system, the breakage often associated with stick soapstone is virtually eliminated, allowing for full utilization of the marking material. Whether you are laying out cut lines on mild steel or marking fit-up points on stainless, the Silver-Streak refill provides the reliability and visibility required for high-quality metalwork.
