Springs for ballpoint and rollerball pens

[JimGo]

Anyone know where to get springs for ballpoint pens, like those used in the Cigar kit? How 'bout the springs for the rollerball pens? I've had two customers lose theirs already, and I raided my kit supplies to help them out, but now I have kits without springs! Any help is appreciated!

Ace hardware sells individual springs. I have used them in the rollerballs quite a bit but could not say for the ballpoint.

Big box stores usually have a selection of springs. Don't know for sure about the size.

Or, buy some cheap (clicky) pens at office depot (ish) and steal their springs.

Jim a cheap click pen will provide a very nice replacement spring for the parker style refill. ( The lil devil on my shoulder says there's lots of "free" pens laying around on store counters. Of course they claim they are there to sign your credit slip)

You can buy cheap clickpen in pack of 10 or 12 at most of the dollar store. Take the spring and disgard the rest.
