Durable pencil mechanism?

[CHARLES STOPCZYNSKI]

Fellow pen / pencil turners,

I'm wanting to make a pencil for one of my sons. He's a development chef who is constantly, making notes, changes and revisions. He tells me he can really give a pen a good workout and that he is generally unhappy with commercial pencils.

He tells me he wants a really durable mechanism and 0.7mm lead size.

Personally I'd love to see the CSUSA Long Clicker with a heavy duty pencil mechanism.

Any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Please include a link or reference to where your favorite heavy duty pencil mechanism / kit can be found.

Thank you,

Charlie

If you don't need an eraser, the Schmidt pencil mechanism will work in the Perfect Fit pen.
If that will not work you could always make one from a Pentel pencil.

You can try to convert a Pentel 7mm for your use. Pentel has a very good mechanism.
I have done several over the last few years. Takes a little practice to drill that long blank.
