Hello! I could really use some advice on this, hope someone out here has gone through something similar or has any alternatives as in what to do.

 

Someone brought in a TWSBI ECO pen for me to try reassembling it because they weren't succesful doing so, I've given service to many of these in the past and dealt with many stuck plunger related situations, but this time I really have no idea how this person made this happen. I'm attaching a video trying the mechanism so I can show you and explain myself better because english ain't my first language and don't know how to elaborate on what's going on (my apologies and thanks for understanding).

 

The threads don't look damaged, I'm wondering how they managed to put it all back in, the wrench obviously does not fit. I don't want to force anything because I'm afraid I could make irreparable damage to it, so I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to solve this.

 

Thank you all who took a moment of their day to read this.

maybe try using something thin, flat, but rigid enough as the wrench to slide in the small gap and unscrew?  something such as 2 piece of credit card.

Great idea, I already tried but no plastic card fits in there, I'm still on the look for the perfect piece that I could use as a wrench.

There is a very good youtube video on the Eco.

The video showed me how to put the thread through the knob to move the piston correctly, I had made a similar mistake to your video.

 

I found that the supplied plastic wrench with the Eco was not up to the job and the jaws would open, I used a thin, metal wrench.

      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
