LONG VERSION: The Sharpest Tool in the Shed

This is the long version.

There will also be signed copies at local and indie bookstores!

i'm disappointed that 'longer version' meant 'a 9 minute nicely polished video' and not 'the raw footage of this project in its entirely for 30-60 minutes'

[Rowdy]

So we've gotten to the part of quarantine where I'm watching two videos about markers? Yeah, I'm cool with this.

The Brothers Green really need that Sharpie sponsorship.

[StridentEclipse]

I like that this was a beautifully foolish endeavor in and of itself

[lizzieevans]

I kind of wish this didn't mention signing your book so the average youtube viewer could just think you were some crazy pen guy

[JustAPeachyt]

John signs thousands of sheets of paper: * gets signing psychosis *
Hank signs thousands of sheets of paper: SCIENCE!!!

[anilmehta]

But which marker signed the most pages per dollar spent? Sharpie may have the most longevity, but is it the best value?

"I'm gonna spend way longer than 4 minutes on this so there'll be a longer version on Hank's channel."
We know, Hank. We know.

Don't mind me watching both the vlogbrothers and hankschannel videos back to back

I love everything about this. I should be working, but I’m eagerly watching a grown man compare pens. I might suggest donating all of the unused pens to your closest school. Teachers go through a lot of pens!!

[bebobebobeb]

This is the kind of basic research that keeps humanity moving forward

[Jen_Foster]

The real question is which of these pens signed my copy?!?

[lachourt]

This was extremely entertaining and I realised at the end that I just watched Hank talk about pens for 10 minutes and loved every 10 of them

Video should have been titled "Sharpest Tool In the Shed ULTIMATE DIRECTORS CUT"

[sonakernerova]

I would be really interested in the 'price/number of pages signed' ratio! That could have some interesting results! :)

[realspacemodels]

The Sharpie ultra fine is my go-to pen for note-taking and other pen tasks. I'm not signing thousands of pages obviously. The ultra fine lasts a very long time and puts down smooth lines. The only time I regretted the Sharpie was when I used it in my moleskin notebook and it bled through the paper like crazy. So the other favorite I have is the Pilot G2 0.7mm gel roller.

This is clearly educational content with extreme value, this full video could have been on vlogbrothers with no penalty.

[goat]

this is the hard hitting marker journalism that I come here for.

[vailstlchick]

This is hands down the Hankest of all ways to tackle the “so I have to sign how many pieces of paper in a short amount of time?” problem. As always, big fan and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[shannon]

I didn't know what it meant to be a John or a Hank, but Hank spending all this time and energy figuring out something John not only already knew, but had also already told him, proves that I'm a Hank
