Solution for pen wiggle: If your pen wiggles at the rubber rings, and the beginning of the tip ( this could be because you are using a longer refil, at least I do) I suggest you putting some basic cello tape around the rubber rings. Nothing fancy, just some tape. This fixes the pen wiggle, and it's a much more substainable solution than shoving the extra rubber rings you get down the tip...trust me. Also, it doesn't make any crinkling sound, like I though it would. Remember, the wiggle migth be the ink cartridge inside. TO SUM UP: Pen wiggles, put cello tape around the end of the barrel, migth take two layers. It's going to be difficult to screw in, but that's good. I hope I helped.

Enjoy your channel. Have heard you say a few times using right handed stuff as a lefty doesn't really bother you, I'm the same; it's because the world is truly built for the right handed, left handed options are usually kind of crappy and gimmicky, that being said I have four Chris Reeves leftys, you should pick one up and give it a try, I think it will be a real eye opener.

@patrickhandyside9490 2 жыл бұрын

@@mercurytoad yep I have had mine for about a month now, and am extremely pleased with it. It is very hard to open with anything other than a reverse flick using the fuller but since that is my preferred way of opening it I don’t mind it is very smooth and nearly fall shut action, but the thumb studs are almost unusable with how I hold a knife, and the flipper will work with pressure but if you even touch the lock bar it won’t open so it is sort of awkward, the reverse flick is smooth and easy though and so much fun to do! The best part is the entire knife is absolutely stunning from every angle and matches great with my big idea co titanium bolt action pen with the timascus bolt and clip, as well as the killer lanyard I made with purple Diamond Paracord and two flamed titanium beads.

@patrickhandyside9490 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry mistook this for a comment about my new knife. I love the pen had it for about two weeks and it is awesome. I do wish it were a tad bit longer, another 1/4-1/2 inch in length would make it perfect and add that little bit more weight to the back end of the pen, the bolt action is pretty stiff too, but the quality is fantastic and the timascus clip looks sick, can’t wait for the full size clip to become available so I can order that too. The mini clip is ok but hard to get into a denim pocket.

But aesthetically I do like the look of your mini because the barrel is seemless and doesnt have the wider grip the regular has. Thanks for your impressions. Stoked to get mine.

Making fresh squeezed juice can change lives adding apple and 1/4 - 1/2 lemon with skin best to start out smaller amount but it can make a non tasty juice delicious especially when first getting into it. Quality juicers can be found on sites like offer up Craig’s list ect it’s one of those things people buy or receive as a gift and use a few times and never pull it out again. Good luck and have an awesome day cheers

My EDC right now is a Tag Aqua Racer, Men Behind the Mission Wallet, Dominator DM3 Safety Glasses, Coach Prescription Glasses, SOG Blink, no pen, no light. The Blink won't pass so is there a pen/light that can double as a pointy sharp thing? ;)

I bought a CU click but I may as well have gotten the regular pocket pro because everytime I pull my EDC Click out of my pocket I have to twist the barrel to adjust the nib length or twist the barrel to get the click mechanism to work correctly, it’s very frustrating. I hope they’ve figured out a way to avoid this with the new bolt model.

Ended up buying it. Its alot smaller than I thought it would be, but hopefully it works fine with the paperwork ill have to deal with at my new job Edit: might return it, it's a bit small to use for me, that and it bloody hurts to use the bolt.
