Looking for a kit

[Kenny Durrant]

I'm looking for a rollerball kit that has a snap cap that will also post. I have a pen that was given to me years ago and I like the feel and the way it writes. I saw the Tiny Giant kit but that a ballpoint. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks Vic. That was quick as well. I'll check them out. Have you tried either of them? Just curious how they wear.

Kenny, if I recall correctly they were the precursor to the Series 2000 pens. Love the size, the weight, the feel, the balance. I believe the SnapCap pens, like the Series 2000 pens trouble you to deal with a tendon on the cap tube; it's not a problem, just a small pain in my opinion. I'm using Series 2000 pens that I turned over 10 years ago, so I'd say they do ware well.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll see what I can come up with. I'm not a fan of tendons either but one every now and then shouldn't kill me. Ha Ha.

I did a few way back when. Getting the nib cap adjusted correctly can be a pain. The Flat Top that screws on and is postable is a lot easier. At one time Craft Supplies offered kits that were available in either version.

Not sure what a "snap cap" is (I'm new to this), but if it's a cap that snaps on instead of twisting on, I made this PSI Rollester two weeks ago. It's a rollerball.

Thanks Jeff. That might be the ticket! I'll get a couple headed my way tomorrow.
