Wtb Thin Wrench For Pelikan M800 Piston Removal


InkyWinky

Recommended Posts

Traded a Green M800 M for a solid Blue M805 B. Happy with the trade, as I have another Green M800 and like the solid Blue M805 but the piston is rather stiff. I have 6 other M800/805's so I am pretty sure I know what the "normal" piston pressure is. My plan is to disassemble the piston and put some lube on the space between the two wipe surfaces on the piston itself, essentially creating a mobile lube device that makes each stroke smooth and then wipes itself away. But to do that I'd need that special tool to take apart the piston.

I've seen them discussed and understand that one can be made by taking a normal wrench of the right size and grinding it down but that seems rather time consuming.

Where can get one of these? I have several of these pens so this might come in handy.

You can make it yourself, I used a defunct credit card to make it. Alternately Fountainbel here will make a professional grade wrench for you with the other end used for extracting the MB filler unit.

Very interesting. I am going to check on Fountainbel's prices but a full set from Amazon (and I get free shipping) for $22 is hard to beat...plus I have all the other wrenches to use on other projects.

I looked at the Amazon set, just make sure the set contains a 7mm spanner, the set seems to start at 8mm, also it is not clear how thin the wrenches are. An old thread:

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
