On there web site they claim that there pencil inserts will fit any of there ball pen kits.
I bougt lot,s of them for projects. I can not get them to fit or work in any of there ball pens. What am I doing wrong? A waste of money.

From the wbsite.

The TM Pencil mechanism replaces the spring and refill in the TM ballpoint kits. This mechanism works with both twist and click pens.

I have used Beaufort inks, in the Sirrocos. The mistake most people make is you need to advance the lead (twist the cap) and lock the action (twist the cap back).....not used a click mech with one so I don't know on that...sorry:praying:

I've only used one in a Zeta but it works fine for me. As Mark says you have to twist to extend the lead then twist back to lock it.

I recieved a phone call from Dan at TM pens. All sorted now the ones I bought are for a specific kit. He is kindly sending me some replacements for free. :thumbs:

The replacement pencil inserts arrived along with some other stuff I ordered. They work and they fit the TM kits fine without any issues. I am a happy bunny.:thumbs:
