Replacement click mechanism for a Precision Press (Click) and Mini-Click Pens
What makes this 416SS mechanism so special? Mostly the material choice and time consuming manufacturing process refinements. Virtually all high-end pen mechanisms are made from brass and plated (easier and cheaper to manufacture but not as durable as ours), we decided to go nuts and machine it out of 416 stainless steel (a much harder and more durable material). This meant we had to have it Swiss-CNC'd which, while more costly, means we can hold much tighter tolerances (less than .0005" all day long on the Citizen L-20). The G-Code programming done by our friend's shop re-traces the race toolpaths to debur all edges, taking more time but it also means that the chrome steel bearing glides smoothly and the mechanism cycles like butter. It's much more expensive and time consuming to make it this way but it really is pretty awesome. Plus, the 416SS and chrome steel will wear better and last much longer than plated brass. It's complete overkill for a pen mechanism but hey... if you're going to make one, might as well make the best.

Replacing the click mechanism: 1. Use a small amount of heat (lighter) around tip of pen by old mechanism 2. Use pliers to remove old part. Discard in accordance with local regulations 3. Place a TINY amount of glue (like Gorilla glue or threadlock) on the threads of new mechanism 4. Screw new mechanism into pen completely 5. Enjoy new mechanism and show off to all of your friends
