Annoying Parker ballpens
I have quite a few of these, the ones with button on top. The button
works fine to get the point out into the writting position, but press again to retract the point and quite often they jam with the point even further out. Has anyone found a fix for this annoying problem? |

Has anyone found a fix for this annoying problem? Bic? I have a non-Parker biro doing this. I soaked the button end mechanism in isopropyl alcohol to remove all traces of ink (messy!) and anywhere else it looked a bit sticky, then gave it some WD-40. It was a little bit sticky for a day or so but now seems ok. -- Jeff |

The thing about these ballpens is that they survive in my trouser pockets, whereas every other make I've tried breaks up amd usually then leaks. The Parker design, with a strong plastic front end screwing inside the steel part, is much stronger than the average. -- Bill |

blabbered, again: I don't seem to have this problem on genuine Parker ballpens, but have had it on some Chinese copies.

Not everyone is an obscenely pesky troll like you, Rot! -- Bill Wright to Rot Speed: "That confirms my opinion that you are a despicable little ****." MID: |

(I have three) Might not be very good for your pockets, but unlikely to break. I have the propelling pencil too.

Bill brought next idea :

So far as I am aware they are all genuine, some half plastic, some all ss and all exhibit the same issue. The only way to get them to retract when they jam, is to partially undo the barrel. That seems to suggest it is the 'nib' getting jammed in the barrel. |
