Tec-7 Ballpoint Pen Kits
Tec-7 Ballpoint Pen Kits
Craft a pen that pulls double duty with the Tec-7 Ballpoint Pen Kits from Penn State Industries. Built around a smooth twist mechanism and featuring an interchangeable stylus cap, this two-tube kit lets you turn a professional writing instrument that works just as well on your touchscreen as it does on paper. It's a straightforward build with minimal parts — an excellent choice for beginners and experienced turners alike.
What sets the Tec-7 apart is its flexibility — a plain end cap and a stylus cap are both included, so the pen owner can swap between touchscreen and cap-free use on the fly. The Cross® style refill delivers a reliable, smooth writing experience, and the antique brass hardware gives the finished pen a warm, classic look that stands out at any show table.
