Made from a 1/4 craftsman deep socket, 9 nuts (one is stainless steel for the cb) a .032 feeler gauge for the clip and a stainless steel bolt for the top cap.
Comments welcome.

Spike, while I find you profession pens to be very imaginative, I'm curious in knowing if any of them actually write. In other words do you have a transmission mounted in any of your creations? Or is it simply the image that you are trying to convey? The 'pickle' pens were in jest but are yours to be taken serious? Just curious so please don't take my questions in a negative way.

As a ex-mechanic (with scar tissue, bad back, and heal spurs to prove it) I like the pen. One idea you could use an extension for the top half. Drilling the extension would be fun as it is hardened tool steel.

I had thought about using and extension but i didnt have the right kind of drill bit. Even with a titanium bit I still think it would take a long time.
