    Default Retractable Pen Kit

    I've bought my 1st lathe, a Jet Mini lathe, and I need a new pen for work anyway. So I thought that this'd be a perfect opportunity to start my pen making 'empire'!

    I'm after a retractable style pen, like this one:
    Power 24kt Gold Click Pen Kit at Penn State Industries

    Does anyone know where this style kit is available in Australia?

    Thanks

    GPW Click is similar. Centre band is simpler.

    Not sure if local PSI resellers offer them. Perfect Pens, 043 Turning, Pop's Shed.

    Be care not to shave too much off the finished lengths of tubes. Most if not all clicks are not very forgiving if too short. Some can be fixed without modifying the refill by modifying the propelling mechanisms but they are usually harder to disassemble than twists and capped pens.
