I'm looking for a Vacumatic tool to remove filling assemblies. PM me what you've got if you have one you don't use!

I'm not sure that you'll find someone who wants to sell a used one! But they are available from those who sell pen repair supplies.

I use and recommend the vac wrench sold by Fountain Pen Hospital, and Woodbin. They're not that expensive. I do not recommend using the vac blocks because I find it easier to crush the filler units, especially the ones with the plastic threads..

Thanks Ron, I'll check in to that, I've seen what you are talking about and had wondered if there was any advantage to the wrenches over the blocks. I figured it was worth a shot, like maybe someone bought one thinking they'd use it more than they have or something. But apparently not!
