protection
It is recommended that the press be
mounted or clamped to a work space
to prevent slipping and aid in leverage.
Slide a 2”x18” piece of thin wood or
cardboard under the platform to capture
parts that fall into the slot. 12
Press Assembly: Mounting board not included
Mount handle onto press assembly - lock in with screw - secure rods & bushings with magnets.
NOTE: If the Sled seems too loose or starts to lift up when pressing, there are two nuts underneath that secure the Sled to the Slotted Platform.
These can be tightened to make the sled more secure. Tightening too much will lock the Sled in place - if this happens loosen slightly until sled can
slide again.

Pen Assembly Setup (Fig. 2) Fig 2 Assembly Setup

• Insert Stopper into Sled Clamp and tighten
Knobs until secure Press to Assemble
• Set the assembly handle in vertical position.
• Lift locking Sled Lever and position Sled so
that there is enough distance to allow parts
to be inserted. Insert pen parts between
the Ram and Stopper, pushing against the
spring in the Stopper. Move sled towards Spring loaded
the Ram and let the spring pressure of the stopper mounts
Stopper hold the parts in place.
• Allow Sled Lever to drop into a locking slot.
into sled clamp
• During pressing, be sure pen parts remain
aligned.
• NOTE: The spring inside the Stopper will
continue to add pressure to the pen parts to
support the parts in position.
• If Sled Lifts up, see note under Press
Assembly above.
• Apply steady pressure with the assembly
lever until the parts are pressed together.
Do not force the lever. If the parts do not Slide to secure
press together. Reposition the pen parts parts to press
and press again. Pen Parts

General Disassembly (Fig 3) Fig 3 Disassembly

• Cut an approximately 1” to 1.5”section of Soft-grip tubing. Use a sharp
knife for this. Tubing will resist being cut with a dull knife. Tubing can be Press down to

• Remove any easily removable portion of pen. This may include clips
and caps. Retain parts that may aid in disassembly, e.g. tips that can be Disassembly rod

• Loosen knobs sufficiently to allow parts to be inserted. Insert barrel into
tube and then insert into Clamp. Tube should sufficiently cover pen barrel
in the clamping area. Make sure the part being removed is free of the
clamping area. Clamp pen & barrel
Pen part to be removed
• The clamp has a deep slot to accommodate non-removable clips. This inside tube
prevents damage to clip and maximizes clamping pressure on parts that
need to be held in place. If clip is a part of what is being removed make Fig 4a-4b 7mm Mechanism disassembly
sure that no clamping pressure is directly on the clip.
• Tighten the clamp until pen barrel is firmly held. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN Fig 4a Disassembly
as it may crush the barrel of the pen.
Bushing
• Use the largest rod that will fit into the tube and still be able to move
freely. Slide 7mm pen mechanism
• If the part to be pressed out has a hole larger than the rod, the rod can be into bushing
angled to the side during pressing to catch the edge of the part. Ends of
the rod should be kept sharp to prevent slippage.
• With handle in vertical position, part in clamp and rod inserted, Move Sled
until rod is as close as possible to pressing head and still lock into a slot.
• Once set up is complete, apply steady pressure until part comes out of
tube. If the part does not come out with moderate pressure-try to “knock it”

• 7mm mechanism disassembly
• Clamp the lower barrel as described above with the mechanism pointing
towards the Pressing Assembly.

• Insert exposed portion of mechanism into the Disassembly bushing.
• Insert 6mm rod into opening in opposite end of pen barrel.
• Position sled into locked position with rod against the pressing head.
• Apply pressure until mechanism fully exits the barrel. Mechanism should
easily slide through the Bushing.

This section is for pen sections that cannot be disassembled with the
rods (click pens, Bolt Actions, etc). Click pens, for example have plastic Rock and pull to
mechanisms that will break if pressure is applied with a rod. For Bolt disengage barrel
Actions, use a #0 Phillips Screwdriver with 4” shaft to remove set screw in
Bolt Action and unscrew bolt.
• Move sled to opposite end of the platform from Pressing assembly.
• Insert part (wrapped inside Soft grip tube) into Clamp. The rest of the
pen should be on the outer side of the clamp. Tighten until secure.
• Grab the exposed portion of pen. An extra piece of Soft-grip tube or
Soft Jaw Locking pliers around the barrel will aid in this.
• Secure the Sled Lever to prevent movement.
• Gently rock exposed portion of pen while pulling away from clamp until
tube separates from part.
