Gearshift Pen Kit Starter Set — 3 Pen Kits

Build the complete Gearshift collection in one order with the Gearshift Pen Kit Starter Set. This set bundles one kit in each of three finishes — Chrome, Antique Pewter, and Antique Brass — every kit featuring the same working five-speed H-pattern shifter that actually shifts to advance and retract the refill.

What sets this starter set apart is that it takes the guesswork out of tooling — a drill bit and bushing set for the build, plus all three refills, are included, so you're ready to turn as soon as your blanks arrive. It's the simplest way to stock three Gearshift finishes at once without placing three separate orders.

Features

• Interactive bolt-action gearshift — shift through a five-speed H-pattern to advance and retract the refill, just like a real gearbox

• Automotive-themed details — tire tread texture on cap and tip, etched gear shift pattern on the handle, and an industrial crowbar clip

• Parker-style refill included — ready to write the moment assembly is complete

• Single-tube build — minimal parts and a straightforward assembly process for any skill level

• Compact blank size works well with dense hardwoods, acrylics, or stabilized burls

• A standout gift set for mechanics, gearheads, and auto enthusiasts
