[Woodworkers] Pen stuff?

[Steve Bigelow via Woodworkers]

Hi Tom,

On the cheap pens the plating is thin and the mechanism is cheap.
Furthermore, plastic is used in places where there should be metal.

Now, that being said, there are some expensive pens that are expensive only
because of the design, not because of the quality.



Regards,
-Steve
