Ballpoint pen kits

Ballpoint pen kits

Ballpoint pen kits are one of the most popular projects in pen turning. They’re practical, reliable and available in a wide variety of styles, making them a great choice whether you’re turning your first pen or creating a custom gift.

A ballpoint pen uses a small rotating metal ball at the tip to transfer oil-based ink onto the paper. As the ball rolls while you write, it picks up ink from the refill and deposits it smoothly on the page. Ballpoint pens are known for their durability, long writing life and ability to write on many types of paper without smudging. Kits are typically available in twist or click mechanisms:

• Twist pens extend the refill when you rotate the upper barrel
• Click pens use a push-button mechanism for quick one-handed operation.
