Repair Essentials: LED Lenser Bore Light

When you need to see what’s down there in that pen’s
barrel, what you need is a lot of light.

You need LED Lenser.

Limited Time Special ! 

Limited Time Special !  Our supplier sent us a shipment of “fishing micro tool kits” that include a multi-tool plier and a retracting belt cable to keep the multi-tool handy at your side. The plier includes scissors, screwdrivers, knife blades, hock removers, and other fishing tools — but pen people can use it, too. We’re offering this kit for the exact same price that you’d normally pay for just the LED Lenser! But we have only a small quantity of these kits, and when they’re gone, they’re gone. Don’t miss out!

Every pen repairer, amateur or pro, needs to shed light on the depths of barrels and caps. You can use a cheap incandescent or LED light, but what you’ll get is dim light and short battery life. And with the “bargain” LED lights that you find at hardware stores and all over the Web, you’ll also be replacing the unit when it breaks (which it will do on a regular basis). Not a good bargain, all things considered.

The solution is our mini LED Lenser. After going through half a dozen other kinds of bore lights, we’ve settled on this one to use at the Nashua Pen Spa. It’s a little beefier than the cheapo LED models, but that extra bit of heft gives you more robust construction and the brightest light we’ve found in a unit this size. Compare for yourself:


Model Light Output Battery Life Weight

Mini LED Lenser
LED Lenser
6 lumens 74.5 hours 1.59 oz (45.0 g)
$5.00 hardware store unit[1]
Competing LED
3.5 lumens 35 hours 0.60 oz (16.7 g)

Notes:
  1. This unit is one of two that we bought. The other one failed within two weeks, and this one’s pushbutton power switch has always been unreliable. Only rich people can afford cheap tools!

Price: $14.00 (Add to shopping cart)
