Problem with Cushion Grip Pen

[reef12]

This one here but bought thru somewhere else same pen.

Could not get the refill to retract kind of hard to push thru the screw connector ring hangs.

And when assembled will not retract back into pen.

I have done one before no problem had to swap out my show pen for the bottom of this last one.

So anybody have any trouble with it?



Thanks

Have you tried to push by hand the refill thru the bottom? If it is hard then you need to take a drill bit just the size smaller than the hole and ream it a little then try again.[]

Also when you put the pen together have a block of wood and put the push button thru it when putting in the threads, other wise you will mess up the plastic clicker inside.[8D]

If you ever find a "click pen" that works well, let me know. I have lots of requests, but never have found a good one.

Have used an odd blank drilled to keep from smashing the Click thing and yes I have to agree on the click pen thing ED[B)][][8)]

I had trouble with one of those. I found that my upper barrel was slightly too short, so the mechanism hung up on the threaded insert.

Well I thought that but the Refill hangs in the hole that is the center attachment point with threads.

Have to really push it hard and it hangs.

I have built another one and it worked fine.

When I swapped out lower section with the first one same thing happened the top is okay but hangs as it comes thru the center ring.


I will drill it out a tad.

But don't think I want to make many of these pens.[V]

Well another edit fixed it took at 15/something drill bit to open the hole works like a champ now.

So another newbie question.

What do you use to keep the top click button from unscrewing?

The only click pen I have built is the PKPARK-X from PSI.. if you pay close attention to the dimensions it works fairly well, but always felt the mechanism was loose and rattle a little.. I made one from deer horn about 3 years ago, that was successful, except the refill tip was exactly at the end of the nib and occasionally did not retract back to the original position. I kept it for my personal pen, since it rattled and was not quite perfect... others I tried to make never worked right so I gave up.
