I've ordered a few hundreds worth pen kits from Penn state industries last month, many of them are the starter kits, which come with the drill bits, bushings, etc. The drill bits are very low quality, there is one oversized. Some high end pen kits are very impressive though.
Now, I am trying to figure out the Polaris pencil kits, I hope some one on the forum can shed some lights.
I ordered both Polaris pen kit, and pencil kit, the pen kits is ok, but the pencil kit has a gap between tip and tip nut, pls see the picture below.
Left one is pen, and right one is pencil.

After I spoke to the tech guy from PSI and showed the pictures above, he feel that's my assembling issue, and sent me one sample, the tip and tip nut closes nicely:

So, I tried again, and send them the pictures below, I can go that far, and leave a gap. I ordered 3 black titanium Polaris Pencil kits, and they are all the same thing.

I took the gold plated aparts from the sample one, and mixed with my black titanium, it is a lots better, even there is very tiny gap (about 1/32 to 1/64) though.

I called the tech guy, and asked him if he can try to put one polaris black titanium together, so he can see the same issue. But he insist that they sold so many, and never heard this issue reported by others. He asked me to tell him which parts is wrong, so he can send it to me, however, I have no clue on which part is wrong.
They agreed I can return, if not their issue, they will refund back. Since I am in canada, if consider shipping/duty, I hesitate if I should return rather than get the problem fixed.
Did I make any mistake on the assembling? If that is parts issue, can you suggest which part is wrong? Any suggestion is welcomed.
Thanks
