Half-Twist Ballpoint Pen Hardware

These items are discontinued. Available while quantities last.

With this well-made hardware, you can create an attractive, durable pen. High-quality platings yield a crisply detailed, uniform surface and a precise fit between parts, combining ease of assembly with trouble-free function.

With 9/16" diameters, large flat clips, and bold center bands, these half-twist ballpoint pens are robust looking but well balanced and easy to grasp. Two different center band designs are offered; one has a pattern of repeating triangles, the other a floral motif. They come with black ink and take a standard Parker style refill. The gold finish includes small amounts of cobalt and palladium for abrasion resistance.

Requires O* & 11/32" drill bits. The minimum blank size is 5/8" × 5". Drill bits, blanks, bushings and mandrels sold separately. Because mishaps can occur during turning or assembly, we offer brass replacement tubes.

* Machinists commonly use letter-size bits. "O" simply refers to the diameter.
