jabberwock11 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Babangita Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 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...

surprise123 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Dmichael Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I did not think this would work. This method works great. Link to post Share on other sites

pearlfox Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Something similar in one of the Wahl-Eversharp service manuals too, on p.14: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LiIZ7nTEMLMBwAOQ4hUKX9rYE5GXPEoS/view Found here: https://pencollectorsofamerica.org/reference-library/wahl-eversharp/ (If you'll pardon a competitor appearing in your Esterbrook haven.) And I didn't have the heart to tell her why. And there wasn't a part of me that didn't want to say goodbye. Link to post Share on other sites
