How It's Made Retractable Ballpoint Pens - YouTube

click mechanism is tested 100,000 times, 5 minutes long in case people missed it on the how it's made program

Showing how the Schneider refills are made is interesting in it self. start with solid stainless and drill the 1mm hole thru. 5 ink groves and the ball, Never gave much thought as to way the click mechanism turns the refill each time. It makes sense now that they said it is for even wear on the ball.

Happy Easter to all, and enjoy!

I remember the old advertising tag line from the 50's "better living thru chemistry", then it was co-opted by the drug culture as a reference of the sign of the times in the late 60's eace:!

The only trouble I got is getting my kids to sit and spin the steel into springs...
