Wood Pen Pro kits - Have u tried them

[arioux]

Just would like to know if anyone has tried the 10k gold kits from Wood Pen Pro. I specially like the executive slender kit with the nicer center band. Don't want to start a debate on what is the best reseller , just looking for feedback.

Thanks

Alfred

I've not used the kit that you mentioned, but I have used their euros and cigars. They seem comparable to PSI.

I really like their velvet sleeves for pens, as they are large enough for a gent.

Yup, I think they are a PSI reseller. I have some comfort pens and cigars I got through them and haven't had any problems. I'm with Stan, too...I have some of their velvet pen pouches (http://www.woodpenpro.com/item.jhtml;$sessionid$YWS1ZIYAAAJZ5TZENUEUTIWPERWRJPX0?UCIDs=914973%7C1277712&PRID=1497316 ) and they make a nice presentation.

I've used their cigars, euros, and comfort grip pens and like them all. Living in Hawaii, they the best local supplier of kits. I can place an order and get it the very next day. I haven't used PSI kits but they seem comparable to CSUSA or Berea. I don't think they are PSI kits because they offer different plating options. My only gripe is that I don't like their bushings and use the CSUSA bushings instead. All in all a great supplier that I have no problems recommending.

I've bought quite a bit from Jimmy and he has good service and products. He is NOT a reseller for anyone, he imports himself. He has some of the best deals of pen boxs and the last time that I checked he had a very good deal on acrylics. He's coming out with new kits all of the time.

I too have been using Jimmy -- AKA WoodPen Pro -- for the past year or so. Service is outstanding and quality of his products is as good as anyone. I was introduced to him on e-bay where I made my first purchase of some pen kits. Since then I deal directly with him.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. It's nice for us newbies to be able to count on some of the best advice aroud.

Hi & I'm the new guy. BTW, you guys have a great site. Lots of good info.

I've noticed the finish on a kit I got from Rockler 7-8 mos. ago was tarnishing. Was wondering if you have any preferences for brands or suppliers of kits. I have managed to learn that it looks like titaniumgold is the way to go, I think. But what about dealers?

Arizona Silhouette and CSU.. you will find the links on the home page... they are my top choices for kits...

I've purchased the soft grip kits from Jimmy in 10K, chrome, and just recently he got in black chrome, so I got some of those too. I like the clip for the style of a lot of the pens I make, and these kits fill the bill for me. I put one of the chrome kits alongside a platinum kit I purchased elsewhere and couldn't tell the difference myself.

Thanx. I'll give'em a shot.
Bin getting into some laminating of woods lately in various shapes. Hence, after spending much time in the wood preparation it doesn't make me happy to see the hardware go south.
Are we in agreement aboout the titanium gold?

 

[alamocdc]

I would say, yes, we are. BTW, welcome the the group!

If you want long lasting kits then get the Titanium gold, Black Titanium, Platinum, Silver, basicly anything except 24K gold or 10K gold.
