Tightening Loose Omas Ogiva Cocktail Clip

[Hnakxr]

Hi, I posted this post on repair section so far no response. I think people here should know Omas pens better so I decided to post here too.

 

I wonder if anyone knows how to tighten a loose clip on an Omas Ogiva cocktail (should be the same mechanism from the Ogiva). Today I wanted to purchase a blue cocktail from a store and the clip turned out too be loose and wobbly. It is the only blue and (most importantly) extra fine they have. The store wants to try fixing it or (probably) send it back to Omas. In Canada, this will probably take more than 2 months. So I think if I can fix it myself I wouldn't need to wait and the fix seems to be simple.

 

Based on how the pen is manufactured, it seems the only thing needs to be done is to tighten the screw in the inner cap with a screw driver. But I might be wrong. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Can I fix this problem myself?

Yes you can! It's very simple, but does require a long, thin "blade" screwdriver with a thicker end. I actually put a thin piece of cardstock around the tip of my screwdriver, inserted it into the cap, felt until it engaged the screw and turned to tighten.

 

It took about 30 degrees to turn and tighten with some pressure (remember you are turning a long screwdriver).

 

If you are the least bit worried you'll strip the screw, just send it to Omas' rep or a nibmeister that works on Omas.

Thank you so much for this info.

I was able to tighten the clip on my Omas Extra with surgical forceps.

What a great tip does this let you remove the clip as well? There are very few people with Omas' special clip removal tool
