Great pen with design flaw
"Tony, Penn State Industries 800-377-7297 As per our discussion about the Stratus push button breaking: (Several stratus and vertex pens failed from drop.) I used a 3-48 1/2 inch long brass pan head screw from McMaster-Carr, 92446A096. I cut the screw head down to 1/8 inch diameter. I then tapped the plastic click mechanism with a 3-48 tap. Note: the plastic is actually 2 sections that screw together. It's easier to tap if you disassemble it from the silver body. The hole is a already a perfect size for the tap. Finally I installed the screw. No glue was needed. This is much, much stronger than using a finishing nail, etc. as was recommended in the past. Attached is a photo."

Nice Kit! Customers love it.
"I'm a bit confused by some of the negative reviews, regarding the tube needing to be longer, and the click mech being touchy/faulty. I have made more than 25 of these and not had one issue with either. My only issue, on a few of my pens, I've noticed the tip clicks when when writing with the pen. I have tried to remedy by adjusting the tube length, but appears more to be the opening of the pen tip is slightly too large on some. This is minor, and those who have purchased them do not mind."

Stratus Pen and Pencil - Grad gift
"Made a matching pen (Lava Bright Silk Sapphire Blue) and pencil (Lava Bright Silk Sapphire Blue) as a graduation gift for my nephew. I intentionally left the clip off the pencil. The pencil was very easy to assemble. The sharpener is a little hard to pull out because of a lack of grip for the cap. Twist off for the eraser is a nice feature. I will probably get more as friends like the drafting style 2 mm leads instead of the 0.5, 0.7, or 0.9 for their shops."

Great click pen that can be easily modified for use with Pilot G2 refills
"I got the starter kit because I like the design, and when I had a customer request a pen that could handle use their Pilot G2 1.0mm refills, I checked all my kits. I have previously modified a cuban kit to take these refills by stretching using a longer tube, but this also required reducing the overall diameter of the back of the refill to fit in the transmission. The transmission in the Stratus accepts unmodified G2 refills, so the only modifications required are to lengthen one of the barrels by 12.3mm (which is easily accomplished by using a spare 3/8 tube), and to cut the "solid" ends of a Pilot G2 spring off and use it instead of the Stratus spring. Without the modified spring, you can't push the plunger of the Stratus down enough to lock the pen in the usable position."
