The most common repair vintage pens need is replacement of their ossified sacs. It’s not at all difficult — if you have the right tools. Our “Twicks” Kit contains a pair of blunt tweezers and three dental tools that are just what you need to get going. All four pieces are made of solid stainless steel for lifelong rust-free performance.

You can use these tools for work other than sac replacement, of course. But you can’t do sac replacement without them. The hook, custom made to our specs, is essential for loosening a sac (straight end) and dragging it out of a pen barrel (hooked end). The single-ended scraper will take the stuck bits off the section nipple. The double-ended spatula will deal with things stuck to the inside of the barrel. The tweezers are for holding the sac as you install it onto the section; they’re blunt so there’s no risk of poking a hole through the side of the sac!
For instructions on sac replacement, read my article How to Replace a Pen Sac.
But don’t stop there. These tools are also good for whatever other uses you can find for them — except dentistry!
