It's so simple, I can't believe that something like this has never occurred to me before. I actually avoided buying a few pens because of a bent clip, now I know what to do.

All the images are gone—thanks to Photobucket. I think I get what was described, but I'm not sure. Can anyone repost the images? Please!
Pax,
John

Thank you very much!
The description alone was precise enough, but seeing the pictures is (believing) reassuring.
You should know how grateful I am for your help if I tell that some of these pens had been waiting for this for a long time...
Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions on this thread. I just fixed the clip on one of my Parker vacs. I used a letter opener instead of a key and placed a thin piece of paper under the clip against the pen to prevent any chance of scratching the pen body. Worked great!!!!
Did it work on a Junior Debutante clip? Mine is loose and its reaaaaally short.

I did not think this would work. This method works great.

I learned this trick watching Danny Fudge fix pens. It works well for most any clip.
