Anyone having any trouble with them? The three I have made all seem to have component issues so I have been reluctant to make any more. Just curious. Seems like they are not as well made as the bolt action pens.
Bullet click pens.....

Haven't done any due to posts on other forums about mechanism issues.

Good....I guess. I thought it was just me.
I've made about 4 sets and haven't had any issues. What is happening ? The Bolts are definitely more solid all the way around !

The click feels stiff in two, sloppy in another. I thought maybe I had messed up on the blank length on the first one. They just aren't as smooth operating as I would like for them to be. I was hoping for a solid feeling click pen but these just don't cut it.
You will definitely like the Bolts . A smooth solid feeling clicker. From what I recall, I did prefer the chrome clicker over the gold . It's been several months since I've made them and now that I've made the bolts, I won't go back to the clickers .
I did a dozen of the clickers and they were ok in the beginning, I've had more issues with the mechanism wearing out and since I stand behind what I make I've had to replace 7 of them (I replaced with twist to prevent another comeback), three I've heard nothing, and two I pulled form inventory and reused the body for twist pens. I won't do any more unless the customer specifically requests it and I do try to talk them out of it and I tell them up front that the mechanism will not last like a twist.
If you can find a buyer I'd move them along or return them, Otherwise, I used that last of them for giveaways.
I have replaced the bullet click pens with bolt actions as well. The click mechanism is not very robust. The bolt actions are easier to make, easier to sell and more profitable.
