Pliers For Stuck Cartridge


Alexcat

Recommended Posts

Got a beautiful Visconti set with several different nibs, plus glass nib dip pen: just put a cartridge into the nib unit, and it can't have been properly pushed on, as it's now stuck firmly in the barrel.

 

Im hoping to get pliers or tweezers to remove....in UK, I have Amazon Prime, and hopefully can get something by tomorrow, but have no idea as to sizing for such things, so......

 

.....help!

take a crotchet needle, guide it into the open mouth of the cartridge and gently pull the cartridge out. Take care that the hook does not slip and mar the pen's finish. Good luck.

Oh, not snotter pen....another pen. But snotter pen will be cracking me up through the day( easily amused, and fools laugh at their own jokes, I know, but I'll take all the happy I can get)

 

Snotter pen. Heh.

      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
