Sharpie fine tip permanent marker

A Sandford Sharpie fine tip permanent marker is indispensable especially if you like to tinker with hardware. Here are some of the uses:

Safely labelling the top sides of DVDs and CDs.
Writing software registration keys on the CDs where they won’t get lost.
Writing crucial instructions like the magic keys to access bios or the boot device menu in a place they can’t get lost.
Labelling components with whether they are working or not, and what is wrong with them.
Labelling pin 1 on components.
Labelling pin 1 on cables and connectors.
Labelling cables.
Labelling sockets.
Labelling left and right Alt, Shift, Ctrl etc. keys when cleaning a keyboard.
Labelling parts when you take something apart.

Sharpies will write on pretty well anything, and the writing is reasonably durable once it dries. They come in many colours with black, blue and red being most common. Make sure to keep the cap on, or they dry out and stop working.
