I work a Nurse specialist Peter,
My point was , I used this pen today and the clip snapped off after less than an hour, It does not look good for me to be advertising pens as quality hand made when they do not last an hour !!!!!!
As you stated "for four pence you want crayfish ?" For what I sell my pens for the customer expects Lobster such is the economic climate over here.
I was merely asking the opinion of fellow pen makers if they have had any problems recently with this kit and hope this was an isolated incident.
Then I can decide to continue with the kit or seek a different alternative.
