Twsbi Eco Section Crack

[LizEF]

I would definitely comtact them again. I am sure they will help as they are supposed to be hot on customer service. They should really send you a new pen. I like my Eco but am reluctant to buy a more expenive Eco because of what seems patchy quality control with the plastic.

 

I probably should - I mean you'd expect a $30 pen to last longer than a year. But that's kinda the point - I've got a new one coming, and I only expect to use one at a time. If I get a second new one now, even if I keep it in the box, what if both last a year again? So maybe I'm better off waiting a year to replace the second one...

 

I'll ponder.

Ahhh ok I mean I like my Eco and a crack on a £25 is not the end of the world. But it does seem quite a brittle plastic that TWSBI use and I would be more wary of buying a £60 pen made of the same materials. The design is great but I have reservations over the materials.

On my Eco I see the seams, one on the top side of the section and the other 180º opposite to the first, but these do not look like cracks to me. They are perfectly straight, can't be felt, and are only visible with a magnifying glass.

Yes, the seams are there and are not a problem. My cracks were near the seams, but not the actual seams themselves, and are visually quite different from the seams.
