I talked with John and Susan Wirth about these types of things once.

John said something he did was put some cheap pliers in a vice with them clamped shut, and drilled out the middle of the gripping area so it made a shape similar to this. If you're poor (like me) then it would work.

Do you know how to get in contact with pentooling, they offer no contact information and when click the email tag, I error out.

This is tool which is generally best you be able to try it before you buy it.

 

Vintage nib pliars are a bit hard to find... From a listing of Fountain Repir tools by the Parker Pen Compny.

#1 on this list is : Bernard Plirs, for fitting nib and feed in section

 

#2 " " " Nib Pliars: for spacing and adjusting nib

 

As with most tools pratice makes perfect or at least better. Poorly designed tools cn create havoc on your important pen project. Buy the best you can afford.

 

This list is 57 items long, dates bck to about 1960 or before.

 

Attached are a couple of photos as shown in the Repair Manual

 

I hve reprinted this manual and it is for sle, for info contact me at:

Tom can you post the picture of Item no 2? Thanks!

 

In The Parker Repair Manual there are specific instructions as to how to do nib adjustment.

Here is one such Illustration:

 

Nothing quite like the "Da Parker Service Manual"

I made my own using information from this thread. Now I used this tool to remove and insert the nib/feed. It works great, thanks a lot!

 

Used $4 parallel pliers from eBay
