So, the bolt action pens have been out for a while now and people have made quite a few. Before I pick up a few kits and make them for people they would suit I was wondering if anyone has found any issues with them from heavy use? I expect these to be used daily by these folks and lots of times per day.
I've turned a couple dozen and have had a few problems; way too many for the small number I've turned, but I've forgiven them, as PSI is quick to replace the damaged pen.
When pressing one together, the front piece that is pressed into the lower half, and that the "bullet" tip screws to--that piece collapsed into the pen. Ruined it--I can't press out the other end to replace the tip. I haven't contacted PSI yet, but I know they'll replace it.
On another, the cartridge wouldn't extend all the way. The tube wasn't shortened; it just didn't work. PSI replaced that one.
I've had two with damaged platings from the package. PSI replaced them, too.
For me, this is an incredibly popular pen. Every one that I make sells.
