Scribedriver pen screws

[littleturd]

The screws on my LTT Pen that hold the clip on keep coming loose (I've already contacted support and they refunded my purchase) after retightening them a few time they have both become stripped, i would like to replace them the next time they come loose. Anyone know the specs on the threads so i know what to buy?

Are the screws stripped, or are the holes stripped?

 

If the holes are stripped, you'll have to drill and re-tap them to a larger size.

The Screw heads are striped, they will eventually come lose and ill just take them out by hand. As far as I know the threads are fine

Use a dab of blue loctite on the threads. https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Heavy-Duty-Threadlocker-Single/dp/B000I1RSNS?th=1

I found this thread looking up the pen info.... and I got my pen today.

 

I went to put loctite on the screws for the clip just so I wouldn't have in the future, but when I removed one screw I saw it already had loctite on it.

It was probably a manufacturing defect that OP's screws didn't have loctite.
There was a different thread talking about how the precision driver's shaft kept coming loose and it was due to there being no loctite when normally there is.

Thanks for this.  My pen didn't come with loctite or an o-ring.  Now at least I know what to get.  Also, not entirely sure what happened with the screws, but I work in a machine shop and have tried 3 different 1.3mm allen wrenches on the screws, and none of them gain purchase.  Seems like I got a real oddball one here.  Luckily, screws and loctite are plentiful in a stocked toolroom.  

 

Assembly issues aside, I do love the pen.  I'll probably get a pkg of springs for it too, as I've already bent the one it came with using it as a fidget toy.  Turns out, if you shake it hard enough you can activate the mechanism, but doing so enough times eventually causes the spring to wedge itself over the taper on the ink well....so don't do that....but it is oddly satisfying.
