PARKER Fountain Pen Converter, Standard Twist Fill (S0050300)

This unit is well made. Solid and not rickety. It fits snugly. It has a smart and tight movement. It does not leak. It feeds the ink very well. Best one that I have used. Others (cheap competitors) leak, won't suck ink, or worse, won't deliver ink without regularly pressurizing it's ink well by dismantling the pen and giving the screw a twist. The best ink storage and delivery unit that I have. It just silently works to meter the proper ink to the pen without leaking. When empty, dismantle body of pen. Dip the writing tip in the new ink and screw draw the ink into the ink tank. If your new ink bottle is getting low, invert the pen, screw the air out of the ink and do the ink draw again. This ink storage and delivery unit works very well

What can I say about this converter? It's indispensable for my fountain pen, it works perfectly, and costs much less than the original product. That makes it a very desirable product.

Does the job and saves you money. It fits perfectly and without effort in the pen.

Most of them are fine but beware the rare older or damaged one. I love my Parkers but if you have a problem, just return it and don't explain why. You will be shuttled off to Parker for resolution and we have had nothing but run-around trying to get a bad one replaced or refunded.

These are good quality. They don't leak. They fit the pen securely. They provide a good ink flow. They can fill a decent percentage, maybe 80 percent, with the twist fill. I honestly use a syringe to fill my converters to 100%. It gives me more ink in the converter and less risk of contaminating the ink bottle with residue from the last ink. This is proprietary to Parker so won't fit a standard pen. That said, it fits the entire modern Parker line. There are a few antiques that use a bladder fill method, but those came with the converter already built into the pen. On the one I have, that bladder converter is not removable. If you need a converter for your Parker pen, look no further. This is the right one.

Back in the day, before we had prefilled interchangeable ink cartridges, this is how we refilled our fountain pens. I keep at least 8, divided between blue and black. They are inexpensive and lifesavers, especially when you can't get cartridges.

It took me a while to realize I had to fill the pen, then flush it back into the bottle a couple of times to get the converter full of ink. Perhaps others know of a better approach, but I assume it takes extra ink to fill the extension so the first filling runs short in the converter. This issue may not reappear as I refill the pens after use, as I won't let them run dry. That said, I am very happy with this converter. I bought one to begin with because I had had a problem with leakage with older converters I had tried. This model appears to seal well both at the connection to the pen and around the piston and screw - or the top of the converter. After assuring myself that they would not leak, I bought a second converter for my other Parker pen. I will soon buy a spare. I recommend this converter to anyone looking to refurbish your old Parker 75 pen, especially if you want to use an ink that doesn't come in cartriges. I am more than satisfied.

Great product and service

The converter arrived today and is much better than the piston type converter which was in the pen and did not let the ink flow. This one is just the job.

Alles Bestens!

Compré este convertidor para usarlo con mi pluma Parker Vector. Es muy difícil de conseguir en México. Le queda a la pluma y funciona perfectamente bien. He tenido convertidores con pistón de desplazamiento vertical, que no son cómodos y suelen atascarse con el tiempo y no se desplazan bien. Este es de pistón tipo tornillo, una maravilla. Es extremadamente fácil recargar la tinta. El único problema con este artículo es que a alguien (un tercero) se le zafó un tornillo y usualmente lo vende a un precio brutal, que supera en cinco veces el de la propia pluma Parker Vector. Es un sinsentido, sobre todo considerando que en Amazon.com ni siquiera llega a los 10 dolarucos. Por favor Amazon México, ¡vuelve a ofrecer este convertidor vendido y enviado por Amazon México!

Good product does its job well.

Todo sobre lo previsto
