Gearshift Ballpoint Pen Kits

Craft a pen that's as bold as the drive with the Gearshift Ballpoint Pen Kit. Inspired by the classic bolt-action mechanism, this one-of-a-kind design features a five-speed H-pattern shifter that actually shifts — the refill fully advances at the front of the gate and fully retracts at the back, just like the real thing. From the tire-tread cap and tip to the etched gear pattern on the shifter handle and the rugged crowbar clip with visible screws, every detail is built for the automotive enthusiast or anyone who wants a conversation piece in their pocket.

What truly sets the Gearshift apart is its interactive gearshift mechanism. Instead of a simple click, you physically move the shifter through the H-pattern to deploy the refill — a tactile experience no other pen delivers. Uses the widely available Parker™ Style refill, which is included with every kit. Single-tube construction keeps the build straightforward even for first-time turners.

Features

• Interactive bolt-action gearshift — shift through a five-speed H-pattern to advance and retract the refill, just like a real gearbox

• Automotive-themed details — tire tread texture on cap and tip, etched gear shift pattern on the shifter handle, and an industrial crowbar clip with visible screws

• Included Parker™ Style refill — no need to source a separate refill; the kit ships ready to turn and assemble

• Single-tube build — minimal parts and a straightforward assembly process make this an ideal project for turners at any skill level

• Available in four platings — Antique Brass, Antique Pewter, Chrome, and Gun Metal to complement any blank or personal style

• Showcase blank of your choice — the compact ¾" × 2-1/2" blank requirement works well with dense hardwoods, acrylics, or stabilized burls

• Standout gift potential — perfect for mechanics, gearheads, auto enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates clever, functional design
