Rotating-head pen holder — for Classic Scriber
USA CUSTOMERS -- 20% (or more?) tax is possible on this item
PRESIDENT TRUMP has announced that he will put a 20% tariff (tax) on goods coming to the USA from Germany (and all EU countries). My Classic Scribers and rotating heads are made in Germany.
The US Customs service will contact you to collect a 20% tax from you. This would make your cost for one Rotating Head = $97 plus $19.40 tariff tax = USD $116.40 each.
The new tax affects ONLY USA customers.
Yes - I know that Pres. Trump told us that customers do not pay for tariffs. That is not true. YOU will pay the tariff tax to the US Customs Service when your goods arrive into the USA. If you decide to not pay the tariff tax then your items will be sent back to Germany.
I have no control over this. US Customs does not tell me if you have paid the tax, or not paid the tax. The Courier company does not tell me. If you do NOT pay the tax when asked, then you will NOT get your tool.
--------
Customers in Canada and ALL other countries are business as usual.
No new taxes for you.
I will update this page when someone in Washington DC tells me what is actually happening.

Upgrade the performance of your Classic scriber with these pen holders.
The pen holder can be rotated 360° for any 'angle of attack' to touch the log. The scribe setting does not change when you rotate the pen holder.
I did not design these pen-holders—but they are made at the same CNC shop in Germany that makes my Chambers Classic Scriber. I buy the rotating pen-holders, and sell them here because they are a perfect match for my Classic scribers.
Here's what this means: if you want, you can use a rotating pen-holder in just one leg of your Chambers Classic Scriber, because these rotating pen-holders were designed to be the same length as my Classic Scriber holding a standard Staedtler Lumocolor 318 "F" pen.
You might be able to use this pen-holder in other models of scribers —
QUICK TIP to see if it might fit your scriber: if a Staedtler Lumcolor 318 pen fits into your scriber, and your scriber grips it tightly, then you might be able to use this rotating pen-holder in your scriber.
BUT, I offer no guarantee that this will work in your scriber, and I have not tried to fit this into any other manufacturer's scriber. Use with other models of scribers is at your risk: and there are no returns and no exchanges allowed on this item if used in any non-Chambers scriber.
These ARE guaranteed to work in my Chambers Classic Scriber, and are an excellent upgrade for one, or for both, legs.
If I am using just one rotating pen-holder, then I usually put it in the upper leg of the Classic scriber, and use a Staedtler Lumocolor 318 Fine, or the stainless steel 'dummy' in the lower leg.
"PSG" Fisher Space Pen refills are available from this webstore, from Amazon.com, from eBay, and from Fisher Space Pen. Sometimes called a "Super Giant Plotter" pen (PSG)—it is 2-inches long, and 0.45 inches diameter. This is the ONLY pen that can be used in the rotating pen-holder.
You must use ONLY the 2-inch long PSG. There are other lengths of the PSG, and they will NOT work.
You can use PSGM (medium) or, if your can find it, you can use PSGB (bold). I sell only the bold version here in my shop.
**** REMEMBER to order pens for this! A pen is not included. ****
