Does anyone know of either of these ballpoint kit have the double twist transmission like the cigar or just twist one way to open and close?

Dan: I have been working on a Jr Gent, today. The pkg. doesn't refer to it as a II. I'm not sure that there is more than one variety. The one I have here is a single twist. I checked an Atrax, that I have in inventory, and it is a double. Hope this helps!

Ugh ... What's with the double twist transmissions?!?! Anyone have customers that like it that way or only ones like I currently have who is complaining about the never stay closed double twist? Or am I the lone ranger on this one?

Is there a way to modify the transmission to only twist one way?

The triton ballpoint is also double twist, I know that's not what you asked but I thought I would throw it out there!

Dan: I owe you an apology! I finished the Jr. Gent Ballpoint this evening. After assembling it, and being able to get more twist against it, I found that it is a double twist. Sorry about that.:redface: I'll shoot you a PM in case you miss this.
