The Gripit Marxmate is a spray marking tool rated for marking surfaces up to 50mm deep, delivering 250+ removable bursts of fluorescent green pigment per pen. The MARXMATE works on brick, metal, wood, pebbledash, ceramic, and porcelain, making it suited for pre-drilling drill points, stud locations, and fixture mounting on hard-to-reach surfaces where conventional markers fail to grip or smudge.
Most electricians and builders mark drill holes by hand with a pencil or crayon, which smudges on damp brick, slides off metal, and won't stick to wet pebbledash. The Marxmate solves that problem by spraying a fine fluorescent dot that leaves a visible, non-permanent mark on any surface. Tradies use the Marxmate to pre-mark mounting points before drilling, especially where a pencil or crayon won't hold. The green pigment wipes clean with water, so there is no lasting residue on the finished surface.
Licensed electricians value the Marxmate because it marks through fitting depths up to 50mm. The green dot remains visible even when the pin depth on a plasterboard socket or switch plate sits 30–50mm off the wall. This eliminates the need to guess or re-measure once the fitting is in place. The tool works at any angle and height, so marking ceiling holes, high wall points, and overhead conduit runs takes no special setup. Stock rotation is straightforward since a single pen supplies 250+ marks at a low per-mark cost, cutting the friction of replacing markers mid-job.
Spray marking on all surfaces — works on brick, metal, wood, pebbledash, ceramic, and porcelain without smudging or sliding. Fine spray line produces a precise dot for drill-point marking and stud location. Marks up to 50mm deep — visible through fitting depths and plasterboard recesses. Non-permanent pigment — wipes clean with water and leaves no lasting residue. Works at any angle — overhead, horizontal, or inverted without pressure or special orientation. Cost-effective — 250+ marks per pen reduces marker replacement frequency on multi-unit and renovation jobs.
The Marxmate is not suitable for permanent labelling or for surfaces that are actively wet or dripping at the moment of application. The pigment may not adhere well to greasy, dusty, or loose-surface materials unless they are cleaned first. The 50mm marking depth applies to typical plasterboard and socket fitting depths; thicker installations or recessed frames may reduce visible mark depth.

(MARXMATE)
The MARXMATE works on brick, metal, wood, pebbledash, ceramic, and porcelain. It performs well on most common building materials and does not smudge on damp or wet surfaces like a pencil or crayon would.
Each MARXMATE pen contains 250+ bursts of fluorescent green pigment. The exact number of marks varies depending on marking pressure and spray duration, but a single pen is typically sufficient for marking 200+ hole locations on a typical residential or commercial job.
The MARXMATE performs best on dry or damp surfaces. While it can mark damp brick or slightly wet plaster, actively dripping or heavily wet surfaces may reduce pigment adhesion. Allow wet materials to dry briefly before marking for best results.
No. The fluorescent green pigment wipes clean with water, leaving no lasting residue on the surface. This makes the MARXMATE ideal for pre-marking drill holes before installation, as the mark vanishes during cleaning or after the fitting is installed.
Yes. The MARXMATE works horizontal, vertical, overhead, and inverted without requiring special pressure or orientation. This makes it suited for marking ceiling holes, high-wall points, and overhead conduit routing where using a pencil or crayon is impractical.
The MARXMATE is rated to mark surfaces and fittings up to 50mm deep. This suits the depth of most socket and switch fittings, ceiling roses, and plasterboard mounting scenarios. Thicker or more recessed installations may reduce visible mark depth.
The MARXMATE is supplied in fluorescent green only. The green colour provides high visibility on most building materials and contrasts well against light and dark surfaces.
The Gripit MARXMATE is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
