Thankfully my pen was empty at the time, so no mess. In spite of this hiccup, the company has become successful because of their attention to detail and excellent customer service. If any pieces of your pen breaks, they'll replace it, no questions asked. So, you basically have a pen for life.

Product design is an art and science that is immensely fascinating. A product is not just a work of art that will be admired from a distance, but a functional piece that somebody will interact with. I hope your wood work is going well in spite of the stapler's design shortcomings.

Thank you for visiting!
