Wrench pen problem

[Woodchipper]

I just finished a Wood River wrench pen kit, #162262. Followed the directions to a T. The refill won't retract inside the nib but leaves enough refill out to write with. I measured the replacement tube and it corresponds to the length of the finished tube and blank. I could add a small spacer of some sort between the blank and the nib adapter. My next dilemma is how to disassemble it. Twist pens are no problem for me but this has me stumped. Help is appreciated.

I haven't used this kit but can you shorten the refill to make it work?

just got a 9mm... 2 clips and box of shells. Might outfit it with a Parker refill

Maybe the refill is not seated entirely? Can use little "push" to get into the click mechanism tube?
OR: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN...back off slightly... Slide large Spring (E) onto unthreaded portion of Click Assembly Connector (F). Thread the assembly (E, F,G) onto
the end of the Click Mechanism (D). Caution: Do not over tighten the assembly onto the Click Mechanism.

WriteON, I'll consult the instructions to get a fix on what you are saying. The refill is a Parker and I would think the end needs to have the notches for proper operation. First thing is to make sure the refill is in the mechanism. Thanks.

I saw a sign in an office- Compared to me, Murphy was an optimist.

You got my curiosity up- where do you get the components or kit for the spanner pen. I think I see what might be the the Dayacom lettering. My son is an engineer. His son made the wrench pen a couple of years ago. Might have a market in the engineering department and the machine shop.
