The Berea hardwoods brand kits are not the same as the "discount kits, the generic kits or kits for people "on a budget" kits.
Berea Hardwood Kits Are Different
All these terms are very often used as a nice way to say poorly made and inferior kits. We attempt to offer kits that are well engineered, designed and plated.
It would be very easy for us to cheapen the kits and sell them at a lower price. There are many ways to do this such as using a cheap tumbled 24K "epoxy" coated plating or to use less durable twist mechanisms or put less ink in our refills or use cheap center rings and clips etc.
When we use 24K plating we use an upgraded 24k gold "rack" plating where each part is individually plated on a "plating tree". We offer a wide range of superior plating such as titanium gold, black titanium, rose gold, real platinum, solid sterling silver, heavy sterling plate and chrome as well as a number of others.
Our twist mechanisms are premium heavy duty ones. We employ good engineering to our kits to make them durable and able to function properly for many years. We make and design parts that look crisp and attractive. A good example is our Flat Top American Ballpoint. On this kit we drop the twist mechanism down from the top of the pen. This method provides for superior durability and function. The center ring on this kit is in three pieces and the black band is acrylic. This provides for a crisper look as well increased durability.
SUPERIOR TOOLING
We also make every attempt to provide superior tooling such as industrial quality parabolic drills, precision made bushings and mandrels.
DESIGNED FOR THE KIT MAKER
Many of our kits have been engineered and designed by us specifically for kit makers and are not taken from generic pens meant for volume inexpensive pens in Asia
