Pen kits you Hate

[sah6139]

Or just have trouble with?
For me it is the Cigar.
I don't know if it is the two different tube size
or the four different bushings.
But I struggle
How about you?

Pen kits I hate...hmmmm. I love the Flat Top Americans, The look, the style. I absolutely hate making the pen or pencil. I can never get a good easy twist. It almost always feels hard to twist. On the other hand the rollerballs and fountain pens are great!

Click pens from any mfr. Argh!

I think I have a hex on my shop.
It goes something like...Thou shalt not make any Elegant Americans.
Whether it's the bushings backwards or blanks too short...just can't do it.

Anything with a tenon just makes me nervous. I feel like I'm just gonna mess it up.[V]

Any Click pen, pens with tenons , yup....not my favorites... Pen I have made and will never again, there was a pen called Excalibur a long time ago...glad it's gone from my cases

I hate all pen kits.
That's why I leave most of the parts in the bag.

As my old boss used to say "Good 'un, Russ!"

Russ,

Does that mean we can all call on you for spare parts? []

I hate the Gemini pen kit from PSI.

I hate any kit I can't find in a skip. But then I'm just a tight old git.

There is one kit that really infuriates me though. I haven't seen one here, but we get a chessy kit that has two different refills and a digital watch in the cap. I have made one that was crummy and still have two kits left. When I first started with pens I bought those and a couple of the 24K Regency kits. Wow, I thought, 24K gold and only a few quid, I'm gonna make these and sell them for a fortune!!!!
Ha ha ha ha .......yeah right!!!![][}]

 

[huntersilver]

I hate the satin Euros, never liked them and they never sold well!

 

[GBusardo]

Any of the Click Pens. Even if they work well, they still sound cheap to me.

 

[Rojo22]

If its got a tenon on it, it costs double...I hate those kits....

The first Cigar I made, I made backwards, still have it to remind me...LOL...I have made 500 of those kits now, and could do them in my sleep, the best sellers in my group.
