At least you have chosen a reasonably good click to go with, they do tend to last a bit longer if looked after.
Second from right is a bit on the thin looking side but they look good init?

Hi Glen

Nice pens :thumbs:

But would like to know how smooth is the click operation as I have seen several people complain about this, also reliability seems to be an issue.

Your input would be greatly appreciated. As previously asked who makes the kit?

Hi Paul
Trust you to see I use Blue tack for final polish, anyway you missed second from left:.
The kit used is from Timberbits - EXECUTIVE CLICKER

Click is quite smooth but with this being my first ones I have nothing to compare them against. Time will tell if they are reliable.
Got them from Timberbits:thumbs:

I have been making and selling this kit for a while and have had no complaints or returns. Not the best seller around, and it can suffer from a jammed mechanism if someone thinks that they have to try and use as much force as possible to push the button on the top. Problem alleviated by undoing the nib a couple of turns. Otherwise one of the best click pens there is.

Nice group of pens well turned and finished except as Brian says the second from the right looks a little thin at the nib end.

I like those, Glen. The first one I made I made it thicker at the top. You can see it here.
