click pens

[airrat]

What are the favorite "click" pens people have done? I have had some people ask if I can do them.

I know Berea has the slimline but it only comes in upgrade gold and chrome.

Please let me know your experiences and what type of kit(s) you have used.

PSI has a slimline pro (slightly bigger than a true slimline)pen that is a nice click pen IMO. I have had no problem which the click mechanism. This pen comes with a parker style refill and it is gel ink. But it is only available in 24Kt, satin, and they just came out with a black titanium in the same style.

BB has the flat top american click in chrome and gold. Psi has the power pen in satin and gold.

Select a kit very carefully!! Click pens, generally, have a reputation for not being very reliable mechanisms.[B)] The Berea Button Click pen is supposed to be pretty good and they have recently redesigned it to be even better!![^] Unfortunately, it only comes in the 24 k upgrade plating which won't be as durable as some of the other platings.[!]

It now comes in crome(button click)

I turned a few PSI's Slimline Pros for Christmas this past year and I was not impressed with the click. It worked fine, but it sounded cheap. Just my 2 cents.

I have liked the slimline pros, a friend of mine did some of the power clicks and had some problems.

Yeah Randy that was what I was wondering. I hate buying 24k gold slimlines, the plating sucks.

Thanks for the replies on the other kits. Guess I will buy a couple of Berea's chrome and say that is the best I can offer.

I have heard some good things about the PSI Slimline-Pro Gel Writer. They come in 24k, brushed satin and black T/N. One of those might be worth a look-see as well??

If you want to get started, use a 7/16" bit. It's only about 4/1000" larger than 11 mm. [8D]

Thanks Jim, I use a twist flattop everyday and love it. I will look into that one as well.
