Jakar ruling pen quality not as good but still function ok
I order two Jakar ruling pens as I’d lost my old one and really missed it. I decided to try both models fixed and hinged. The price was very good.
They arrived promptly well wrapped and in perfect condition.
The ruling pen handles are not as nice as my old model which was solid and the width dial no longer has any calibration, i was wrong - they do have the wallet holder to stop the point getting damaged in transit, but they both worked well on testing.
I saw a review of them bought from a different source & the person thought they were fake and but I think like me they must have had the earlier model originally.
I checked the photos here and the ones I’ve got are identical, so the handles have been modified, ditto the now uncalibrated dial, but to be honest I doubt I’d use the dial as they are for expressive art work not technical drawing that has to be reduced to a standard. I guess the new handle makes them lighter, but I’m not keen on it. I won’t use them for hours on end so maybe it will be of no consequence but the balance of the oldster was nicer.
Can’t blame Cult pens for Jakar redesigning them. It’s just to highlight the difference for those who want to replace an old solid handle model with calibration.
Cult pens are my go to pen supplier so I’ll deffo be back again for something a bit unusual.
