This tool was designed to break loose the metal liners of Sheaffer pens from the ’40s and ’50s. Those sleeves are press fit and cemented in, and they are very difficult to remove. Unfortunately, this tool was unsuccessful, but it was really nice-looking, so I was happy anyway. They can’t all be home runs.
