Half-length Cross refills

[justaccord]

A customer has sent me a broken pen with a half-length cross type refill.

Repair requires replacing the transmission as well as the cap end.

Are there small (half-length) kits for Cross-type refills?

How about the refills themselves?

Any ideas where to get these?

TIA

sounds like a teachers pen that uses short refills ?

You can shorten the cross fill by pulling off the plastic threaded cap, cut the refill to size using a set of wire cutters, and then slide the plastic cap back onto the end of the shortened refill. Use a spot of CA glue to ensure the cap stays attached.

You can buy those refills at Office Depot, Staples, Office Max. They are made by Zebra and a couple of other manufacturers. They are also sold by other sites on line.
They are the refills for multi-pens/

I make a version of the Berea Necklace Pen for quilters - that uses the short refill and has a press in transmission. The threaded cap is pressed onto the end of the refills and threaded into the transmission. I use a detachable key ring fitting to replace the cheesey necklace connection on the pen, but workes nice on a chatalaine.

Amazon.con sells the schmidt mini ball point refills in 4 colors --
