Cheers for the Timberbits Pencil Mechanism

[kyaggie]

Here is a thumbs up to the Parker-style pencil mechanism that Timberbits sells. Here are some pen and pencil sets with the mechanism in a PSI Post Graduate (walnut) and a Smitty's Pen Works LeRoi Elegant LB (black ash burl). The mechanism works beautifully in these kits with no adjustments or alterations. On the downside, I tried it in a PSI Executive and the mechanism would not go all the way into the nib. The tip was not the problem as it would easily go through the hole if inserted from the outside. The problem was with the size/profile of the mechanism above the tip.

Nice pens and pencils.
Good to know about the mechanisms as well. I figured it would be a pretty good product since TimberBits has a good reputation.
