Here is four pens that have become known as Wal-mart pens. The first is cocobola, I had my first alergic reaction to it making this pen. Then there is acrylic acetate with beads, a little piece of hickory and last is red heart.

I love seeing these pens, I guess because I am frugal(read cheap)
Tom, you have been around for a while, how would you classify the quality of the mechanisms?

Ditto. Only thing I dont care for is the clip, sorta like a Pentel clip. Just looks cheap.
I need to hit the WalMart soon, see if I can find some of these!

Eagle, I think the click mechanism is better than some of the other kits we buy, they work smoothly and I hope last longer than some I bought.

Are the tips plated plastic or metal?

I like those, Tom!
Skye, I have two (conference freebies) and one is plastic (obvious) and the other is metal (looks like Tom's).

Mine sort of look like plastic unless you look real close and then it is obvious that they are coated brass. How did you determine that yours were plastic??

Tom, those look really neat. Is the second one the Caribbean Swirl acrylic?

great job on the pens..the tips are plastic (look inside them)..theese things are quite habit forming and make a good work pen..many people have that reaction to cocobolo..I turned a few tonight out of Caribbean Rosewood and have been sneezing ever since.

I picked up some today too, it's all plastic but the clip. That kinda sucks. If the tips were coated metal it would feel a lot better.
take em back!
Don't let them get away with selling that kind of garbage for $.66 a piece!

Eh, I'm going to use them to experiment with, then find some metal ones if I like the kit enough. I'm guessing someone got a hold of a metal one and just started making plastic versions of the same pen. [B)]
