Cigar pencil tubes = cigar pen tubes?

[thewishman]

Got an order for a cigar pen and pencil set. Don't have the pencil kit in hand, are the tubes the same?

 

[lwalden]

No they are not, at least not on the Berea kits.

 

[Russianwolf]

you sure about that? I've done three or four and they were the same tubes if I recall.

 

[lwalden]

Fairly sure- I had a problem with that last year. I've got both at home, can double-check in about 40 minutes and post a definitive answer then.......

Ok - so that is 1 fer and 1 agin. Maybe I should set this up as a poll.:biggrin:

Count me in the "not sure --- fer"

What's the prize???

 

[thewishman]

20 minutes for Lyle to get home...

Most important, Chris, make sure you charge the customer enough. The pencil kit is EXPENSIVE!!

 

[thewishman]

Yeah, expensive and cheap feeling. The transmission makes the top feel junky. Same reason I don't care much for the Perfect Fit - loose feeling top.

 

[lwalden]

Uppers are the same size. Lower on the pen is 2.091", while on the pencil it's 2.049"......

 

[thewishman]

Thank you, Lyle!!! You've got a great memory for detail.

 

[thewishman]

And a fast caliper - thanks again.

 

[ed4copies]

Isn't THAT a convenient design feature!!!

 

[lwalden]

And a fast caliper - thanks again.

Caliper, Ed........ sheezz, you got to be careful 'round here

Woodcraft's Cigar pen and pencil tubes are interchangable. I wanted an ultra cigar pencil, and used the ultra pen kit with the premier mechanism.
