What's the Best Click Pen Kit

[Kenny Durrant]

The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking to make a single body click pen but the one's I've been making don't really fit what I'm looking for. In my opinion the Sierras are a little fat and bulky to carry in a shirt pocket plus they tube is a little short for what I'm looking for. The Bolt Action Tec is pretty close but it's a little top heavy and I'd rather have more tube than the long stroke of the click on top. Several friends like the Vertex because of the smooth click mechanism but I think it's too light and feels a little cheap. I'm not knocking these kits as I like and turn several of these, except the Vertex, I'm just looking for something to fill a certain need. I've looked at the Dura Click and I like the looks of those but it didn't get very good reviews on PSI Website. Thanks

Tahe a look at the Aero Click pen from CraftSupplyUSA. It has a long body and the click mechanism is rock solid.

As a user, my wife favors the Compson:

Compson Click Pen Kit - Chrome

You'll appreciate the luxurious feel and writing comfort of the beautifully designed and styled Compson Click Pen Kit.

but be careful pressing the clip end - easy to press too much and have the back of the clip ring "split" the blank.

Favorite single tube click kit

The only click kits I've turned are the Stratus, but after having way too many of the plunger mechanisms break, I'm looking for something constructed better. So hit me with your favorite single tube click kit.

I've tried the stratus click pen and have been pleasantly surprised

The blade with a Schmidt capless is my favorite so far. The stratus is close second to an everyday carry tho

Another vote for the Dayacom Aero sold by CSUSA

Here's an Aero click in ebonite ( I do like the EDC's better though).

Watching this with a close eye because I too am in need of a good quality clicker. I do not like PSI kits though but it has a nice look. Do not like the stratus look. Or the aero.

Can not understand why these pen companies can not make a decent clicker. There are somany cheap pens that have better clicks.

My current favorite is the Stratus. I have been using one for a few years now and have had zero problems with it.
