Help with Dayacom Pocket Pen

[Rangertrek]

Ordered a few of these kits and need a little help. I need to confirm the drill bit size for the tubes. I also need to verify use of the white plastic sleeve in the kit. I saw a post about this pen a week or so ago; but, can't find it with a search. The kit came with no instruction sheet. I think I have it figured out, just checking with someone who may have an instruction sheet and has made one.
Thanks.

I've made several, and they sell fairly well, too! :biggrin:

I get mine from Aaron and if you look at the photo on his site, assembly is fairly straight forward, but there are no instructions that I know of.

The plastic sleeve screws into the cap end and adjusts how tightly/loosely the cap fits...it's what the nib and post ends "click" into.

I'm not at home right now but I'm almost positive I use a 3/8" bit, although Aaron says its a 9.5 or 10mm :wink:

As an aside, if you do the Long Click pens, the tube is the same size...so if you screw up a Long Click then you can cut it down and make it a Pocket Pen! DAMHIKT!

Hope this helps!

Thanks Lee, I had planned on using a 3/8 bit. The sleeve was the main question and you confirmed what I thought. Never hurts to have a 2nd opinion. Thanks.

Try Dayacom

Did you contact Dayacom....they might have instructions they can email or they could have them that you can access on line. Makers seldom sell kits they can't provide instructions for.
