This new pen is a perfect "in between" size. Smaller than the classic American-style pens, but larger and easier to grip than the slim-style pens. This easy-to-turn kit does not require any parting or tenons for the center ring. Double twist mechanism turns left or right to extend the...

My Woodcraft go-to pen
I've turned and sold over a thousand pens and small projects and this is my Woodcraft go-to pen. It has a good weight, smooth double-twist mechanism, and great size that my customers universally like.

Hart Double twist pen kit revised review
I previously posted a less than stellar review on the Hart Double Twist pen Kit. A representative from Woodcraft contacted me and we reviewed the procedure I was using to assemble the kit. As it turns out I should have myself one star. I was not understanding one simple step that caused me to mess up several kits. I made the adjustment in my assembly procedure and the pen works like a million dollars. Thanks Woodcraft for the follow up and the help. I will be buying lots of these kits in the future. They make a beautiful pen

Loose fitting
I love the look of this pen, I love the size, feel and balance of it. BUT, out of the 6 that I have turned, I have one functional pen. The transmission slides right into the tube with no resistance. I've tried to put a dab of CA glue on the transmission, but that either gets on the finished barrel of the pen or jambs up the transmission. Woodcraft, please have your vendor correct this problem

hart double twist ballpoint pen kit-gold
good looking,easy to assemble.
-
Top portion length critical
Getting the top portion of the pen (short) length is critical. Don't sand or do any cutting of short brass tube and blank. At final assembly don't worry if Twist Mechanism (D) protrubes ever so lightly. Excessive pressure pressing (D) into upper barrel will damage delicate inside threads rendering the kit trash.

People like how it looks
The interior twist of about 40% of the pens I have turned do not function correctly after assembly. Slightly disappointed with the interior of the dcouble twist pens.

feel and appeal
I build the pens to sell and like them for my own use also. The last Hart pen that I recieved had a bad twist mechanism and I did not try it before insertion. I now have a wonderful looking pen that you cannot turn. Hope to be able to get it out somehow. The pens are not to large to appeal to women and look really good in acrylics.

Popularity explosion
Wow, I made one in Gold, dressed in Black Walnut. I think it came out great. I'm still working on my finishing technique, so I have a few issues. Apparently 14 people at work liked it too. They each wanted one. The only issue I have with the pen is the transmission. It has it's moments were it doesn't want to work. Then I pick it up later to work on it and it operates as it should. I'm not sure if it is binding like was mentioned before, or if there is another underlying problem. Anyway, the pen style is popular, so I'll work through it. I just keep replacing the trans that cause me issues and move on. Overall, the style is awesome. I Love the Double Twist.

Well balanced pen
I have done about a dozen of these pens. They are nicely balance and work smoothly once the secrets are learned. The elevator must protrude very slightly beyond the end of the cap otherwise the end cap will bind on the center ring. Do not wipe the grease off the elevator or it will cause binding. I have had 2 bad elevators to date that keep rotating without doing anything. Spend the extra money and buy a Parker refill - You'll be glad you did.

Very neat pen
I made one of these pens one evening just for grins. It was a new kit that I had never used. I will be using more in the future. The pen has a great feel. Not too small but certainly not bulky feeling either. I just love these pens.
