I was embarrassed today when a customer returned a Sierra click pen that he had bought yesterday. Seems he purchased real Parker refills and tried to replace the generic refill I sold in the pen. The customer was upset that the real Parker refill would not fit the pen correctly.
As you know, the click Sierra uses an extension that fits the end of the refill to make up the differrence in length when the pen is not used with the rollerball refill. Seems the little extension piece has a short tip that slips inside a hole on the end of the refill. Well, the customer showed me that the little tip was just a little long and prevented the extension from fully seating into the Parker refill. We tried some real Parker refills I had and they were the same problem.
Since the extension piece wouldn't seat completely, the refill was slightly exposed when fully retracted.
I could grind off the tip of the extension but I would like a better solution if anyone knows of one.
Also, does anyone know the correct Uniball refill needed for the click Sierra?
Thanks
