Mighty Favog Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I have Parker ball point pen that I have a very long history with: 29-years. In the colder months I carry and use it every day in my coat pocket. The pocket clip is slightly bent outwards and I'd really like to fix it. I've tried to remove the clip from the pen barrel but it won't budge. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Is the clip on the cap, or fixed to the barrel on that model. I’ve got a vector fountain pen that I’ve had for nearly that long that my mom bought me. I’m kind of attached to it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Well this may not be a Vector, but from the pictures I've looked up, the design is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 grabbing right up next to the tight bend in it with the smallest pair of needle noise pliers might allow for bending back to original angle of that tightest bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 You can probably bend it back to at least regain functional use if you are careful. Use something like an Allen wrench to get the correct size leverage between the clip and the barrel. then carefully bend the clip down to the left and right past the barrel. if you are careful you should be able to get a snug fitting clip.
