Re: Better Pen Kits?

Jack, Thanks for the berea page - haven't seen that one yet... Steve

Jim has a point, While Berea and Craft Supplies and others have what is called a "premium" kit, "premium" usually refers to the plating. In my experience it is still the same mechanism, the same clips and parts, the same refills, all one homogeneous bunch of parts with different plating (I should also say in fairness though that today's parts are better than those of a few years ago, but still have a way to go).

I too would like to fined a premium kit, more sturdy parts, good plating, and good cartridges (I throw them out and use "Cross" or "Parker" refills).

Perhaps the Bereas and others could consider premium parts along with premium plating.

Thanks JRC,

I checked this site, but didn't see anything unusual. Most kits I checked seemed to be the usual, carried by others as well.

Here is a place I just found about a week ago. The website is weak and I understand they are working on it.

They carry everything in the PSI catalog and then discount it. Placed my first order via web on Sunday, package arrived Wednesday via Priority Mail and everything was in order and wrapped properly. I believe that they also discount HUT. I will be a return customer.

If you call Woodturnigz.com to place your order, please mention my name as the referral - John Miriello - and I was told that you would receive $5 off of your first order of $75+

Apparently, they are happy to have me pass the name along. There is nothing in this for me but the service was great.
