Fancy Slimline Click Pen Kits

Turn a simple blank into a sleek, click-action writer with the Fancy Slimline Click Pen Kit — the click-mechanism sister to one of the hobby's best-selling pen kits. It shares the same decorative ball clip and profiled center band that give the "Fancy" Slimline its refined look, but swaps the twist mechanism for a satisfying click action — press the top to extend the mini refill, press again to retract. Slender, lightweight, and elegant, it's a quick build that consistently produces a result writers and gift recipients love.

Because it uses the same 7mm bushings, drill bit, and brass tube set as the standard Fancy Slimline Ballpoint, you can run both kits on a single mandrel setup — ideal for production turning sessions or for offering buyers a choice of mechanism in the same pen style.

Features

• Click mechanism — press the top button to extend or retract the refill; no twisting required, making it familiar and intuitive for everyday writers.

• Decorative ball clip and profiled center band give this pen the same "Fancy" hardware upgrade that distinguishes it from a plain Slimline kit.

• Mini refill included — ships ready to write straight out of the box; replacement mini refills are available separately on ExoticBlanks.

• Two-tube design — matching slender upper and lower barrels create a balanced, symmetrical pen with a small profile that fits comfortably in any hand.

• Shares tooling with the Fancy Slimline Ballpoint — same 7mm drill, same 01A Slimline bushings, same brass tubes; mix both kits in a single turning session.

• Beginner-friendly build — two-tube alignment and press assembly teach foundational skills that transfer directly to more complex kits.

• Outstanding value — one of the most affordable click-action kits available, with hardware that looks and feels far more expensive than the price tag suggests.

Why Turners Love This Kit

• The click mechanism is what many everyday writers prefer — it's what they're used to, which means your finished pen feels immediately natural in their hand.

• Same tooling as the Fancy Slimline Ballpoint means you can offer buyers both a click and a twist version from one mandrel setup, doubling your options without adding complexity.

• The decorative ball clip and center band make it look significantly more upscale than the cost implies — buyers at craft shows consistently underestimate what they're getting.

• At this price point, it's easy to stock in bulk and always have one ready for a quick turn, a spontaneous gift, or a production run.
