Tactile Turn Switch Pen

• Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen
• Schmidt EasyFlow 9000 Medium Refill Installed

To install a new ink refill on our pens, you simply need to twist off the tip to separate it from the body.

Because the tip and body are machined together it can sometimes be difficult to see the seam (by design). If you're having a hard time getting a grip try wrapping rubber bands around the tip and body.

Once the tip is removed you can easily install a new ink refill and reassemble, ensuring the spring is properly back in place.

Will Hodges founded Tactile Turn in 2012 with a mission to create high-quality, thoughtfully designed pens that people could use and appreciate every day. Frustrated by the disconnect between consumers and the products they buy, as well as the inaccessibility of small-scale manufacturing, Will began crafting pens by hand using a WWII-era lathe in a small rented corner of a friend’s workshop.

Today, Tactile Turn operates from a 9,000-square-foot facility in Dallas, TX, where a dedicated team of machinists continues to hand-machine each pen. The company remains committed to producing durable, beautifully designed writing instruments backed by a lifetime warranty. Tactile Turn pens are for those who value craftsmanship, attention to detail, and tools that stand the test of time—just like Will himself.
