Parker style pencil refil ?

[Lons]

Anybody tried these?

I ordered one to try from TB as it's listed for the sierra but I can't fathom how to fit it in place of the pen refil. It just won't go in.

i can't see how it would work anyway as the sierra is a twist mechanism whilst the pencil refil is "push/push". Any ideas?

I've emailed TB to see what David says

Bob,
Not to sure mate, but it maybe for the Sierra Click-Top. I think its for this one Sierra Click Pen Kits - Pen & Pencil Kits - Pen & Pencil Kits - Woodturning - Crafts & Hobbies | Axminster.co.uk.
Let me know when you get an answer.

Cheers

No it isn't Rowdy.
I've had some helpful advice from David at TB (he responded very quickly) and a link to a video showing how it works. It's a twist type so simply replaces the pen refil in sierra, cigar and some others. I'm still not 100% convinced but we'll see how it goes.

Looking forward to hear how it goes - I've just bought some as well.

I bought 50 of those a while ago, I've got 49 spare if anyone wants some. I have just about given up with pencils. After they have been in and out of protective wrapping a few times for shows, with the exception of the Vertex and various sketch pencils, the leads in all others disintegrate into a million and one pieces and jam inside the bloody mechanism. The returns on them were horrendous and I gave up on Pencils, the demand was low which didnt justify me retaining it as a stock item.

Sorry to say this but in my opinion they are crap.

Cheers Bob,
Not a bad idea.
Neil does not seem to think it is though....

I haven't written it off yet and David at TB has asked me to keep him up to date but I played with one last night and I'm not impressed. Great shame as I could easily sell a pen / pencil set in sierra style but I'm not going to risk it.
I have another 3 on order which should be delivered soon so will wait and see in case I have a dodgy refill. I fear that Neil could be right however!
