Snap Cap Rollerball Black Chrome

[wmillman]

I ordered some kits between Christmas and the New Year and they arrived earlier this week so I thought I would give the Snap Cap Rollerball a go, this is a very simple single tube kit that may not have a lot of bling but I like them. I had to blanks of Red Heart and picked what I thought was the best one and proceeded from there, here is the out come finished with Shellawax.

Cheers

That looks the same as the Editor or Little Giant pens. I've made quite a few. Yours looks very nice.

Nice. I like the contrast on that. It does look just like the Editor, but the editor is a ballpoint (parker). I suppose the kit could be adapted easily enough with a longer tube and the Editors are pretty short anyway. Hmm... more ideas.

Thanks Todd, just for information this kit uses a 8mm tube at a length of 80.4mm, and uses the Schmidt 888 refills.

It will also accept g2 rollerball refills.

I use the 5888, but I find the G2 works better for me....barely had one dry out.

Thanks for the measurement. I have 6 editors on the bench already tubed and squared off. Not sure if I'll make a longer barrel for one of them this time around since they are ready to go.

Thanks Tony for the info, still relatively a new kid on the block here so I haven't experimented with other types of refills yet.

The simplicity does it for me. Great looking wood another case of less is more.
