I decide to start to re-sac several of my Esterbrooks and possibly additional pens too.I want to assemble a pen repair kit. What should I purchase for repairing pens and sources for tool supplies.
Thanks in advance.

I wrote this some time ago so prices and sources will have changed. It's all British, of course, but it will give you a rough idea.

After reading Deb's article, if you are based in the US you can go to the mother lode at pentooling.com, and also know that suppliers/vendors such as Anderson Pens and Pendemonium also sell the basic tools and supplies. Most any that handle those items usually bundle a basic 're-saccing' kit with the sacs, talc, shellac needed for this kind of repair.

I also can recommend Indy Pen Dance for supplies and sacs or direct from manufacturer sac orders, pensacs.com
If you need pressure bars (J, button, etc), pendragons (Etsy; or https://www.vintagepensacsandparts.com) from UK is where I go. Shipping is relatively quick for a pond hop.

I got your comment Chrissy. Perhaps it was delayed.
