The Stubby

[Alzey]

My daughter started a new job as a PC device tech for the local school system. She bought herself a Leatherman multi-tool to use and the pouch had a spot to put a pen. So I decided to use some scraps, goof off and make the smallest pen possible to fit into the pouch.

The kit is part of a teacher pen kit and a fancy slimline clip.

Introducing "The Stubby"

Well, i cut the blanks a little short :frown: so I improvised and used both center bands from the teachers pen kit

That thing is pretty sweet! I think you just inspired me to try one! Why not?

Hahahahah, there you go, who said that a mistake couldn't turn out in an "innovation"...???

Nicely done...!

That is an itty bitty pen. Maybe not use the clip?

thought about that but needed the clip to hold it in the pouch. Maybe on the next one I will make it a nib twist and put a stylist point on the back end :biggrin:

You got me there. Perfect example of fingers running faster than brain. After the day I had, I'm surprised I am still able to type at all.:biggrin::biggrin:

The long clip twisting against the lower barrel could result in damage. Have you considered the shorty clips from the 'credit card' kit? Of course, I suppose that then you would have just used that kit, so nevermind.

Yea it is already making a mark, but this was a prototype.

Thanks for the info. I rarely look at PSIs website. I may have to check those out and add some to my portfolio.
