Funline Ballpoint Pen Kits
Turn a pen that stands out from the shelf with the Funline Ballpoint Pen Kit. This Slimline-family kit features a distinctive oriental-style decorative band and ball clip that give it a refined, eye-catching look well beyond its entry-level price point. At under $3 per kit, it's one of the best values in pen turning — perfect for beginners building confidence and seasoned turners who love producing gifts in volume.
What truly sets the Funline apart is its oriental-style center band. The ornate patterned band adds a touch of elegance that the standard Slimline clip-and-band combo doesn't offer, making finished pens look like they cost far more than they do. The twist ballpoint mechanism is smooth and reliable, and the kit shares the same 7mm Slimline tooling you may already have on your bench.
