Seam rippers

[kevin nee]

I purchased a batch of pen type project kits. There are Penn State seam rippers in the mix. 8mm tubes. I have the clips but no caps. Where can I get 8 mm pen caps. I know I can make them closed end but would like to find some 8 mm caps. I have seen pen parts on someone’s website but can’t remember where.

Here are a couple of links for pen components. Most of the stuff seems to be 7mm. If you can't find the 8mm replacement, you could look for 8mm pen kit, find the cheapest and cannibalize it.
I only make a pen now and then, just to use up scrap which is too nice to toss. Seam rippers would be good for that also.

If those links fail you, try asking the pen enthusiasts in this group.
