today's pen is the bigger version of yesterday's twin tip sharpie. the sharpie super twin tip does not leap tall buildings, outrun a bullet or have x-ray vision, but at two dollars, you do get a nice larger fine tip and chisel pen for around half the cost of buying them separately. like pretty much every sharpie i've talked about on this blog, these pens are well made, dark, prone to bleeding and are priced to ensure that running out of ink and having to buy a replacement won't break your wallet. so the benefits are similar to yesterday's, it is two pens in one, makes for less to carry around, and the drawbacks are more or less non-existent, at least in terms of the twin tip feature, the usual drawbacks for sharpies do do apply as it is just the nature of these pens.all in all i am happy with this pen, and have used more than a few of these up over the years and still i go back for more.
as far as this pen being something that i would recommend... yes, yes , oh, and yes. buying this pen is money well spent.
