TechLiner Identification and Disassembly

TechLiner Identification

TechLiner pens are offered in 3 different sizes.  When measuring from tip (with the cap on) to the tail you will find:

The Regular length TechLiner is about 5.75" in length The Shorty length TechLiner is about 5.00" in length. The Super Shorty length TechLiner is about 4.00" in length

*Measurements may vary slightly depending on the inclusion of a clip.

Assembly / Disassembly Tips (Important)

Q: How do I protect the body from the clip when unscrewing or screwing in the tail.

A: Unless needed, most disassembly does not require the tail to be removed. If you have a clip installed and must remove the tail, protect the body by placing a piece of paper between the body and the clip. 

Q: If I only replace the refill, are there any tricks that may help the process?

A: Yes! Place the cap on the tail to hold the tail magnet and any metal tail spacers (if applicable) in place.

Refill Info

Refill Identification

The Ti2 TechLiner Regular and Shorty lengths are designed to host multiple refills, while the TechLiner Super Shorty is designed for a single refill.  Here's a timeline of when specific refills for Regular and Shorty length pen started shipping:

April 2020: TechLiner Shorty length pens are offered with a choice of the UniBall™ Jetstream SXR-7 refill or Pilot's G2 BLS-G2-7 refill.January 2016: TechLiner Regular and Shorty length pens ship with the UniBall™ Jetstream SXR-7 refill.Prior to January 2016: TechLiner Regular and Shorty length pens were shipped with UniBall™ Signo refills (either .5mm or .7mm).  

***PLEASE NOTE***  Each refill takes a specific refill kit.  The refill kits are not interchangeable with different refills. Regular and Shorty length refill kits are offered in multiple refill options (when available). Super Shorty refill kits are offered with The Pilot G2 Mini refill.

Be sure to read our disassembly tip to protect the body from the clip during disassembly / assembly

Pilot G2

Pilot G2 refills have the part # BLS-G2-7 stamped on it. The last number "7" in the part # refers to the tip size. In this instance "7" = .7mm. All Pilot G2 (and G2 Pro) refills work with the Pilot G2 Regular length refill kit or the Pilot G2 Shorty length refill kit.

Pilot's G2 refill is popular and common to source locally. The Pilot refill has a very nice glide and leaves rich dark lines.

Pilot's G2 refill is compatible with our Regular and Shorty length TechLiner pens and requires a G2 refill kit for fitment.

Uni-Ball Jetstream

UniBall™ Jetstream Refills have the part# SXR-7 stamped on it.  The last number "7" in the part# refers to the tip size.  In this instance "7" = .7mm. All sizes (SXR-3, SXR-5, SXR-7, SXR-10) work with the JetstreamRegular length refill kit or the Jetstream Shorty length refill kit.

Uni-Ball's Jetstream refill leaves a consistent dark line, rolls smooth and dries very quickly. With its "hybrid" ink and twin ball system, the Jetstream offers a  great balance between a ballpoint and gel ink refill.

Uni-Ball's Jetstream refill is compatible with our Regular and Shorty length TechLiner pens and requires a Jetstream refill kit for fitment.

Signo

UniBall™ Signo Refills have the part# UMR-85N stamped on it.  The last number "5" in the part# refers to the tip size.  In this instance "5" = .5mm.   All sizes (UMR-81N, UMR-83N, UMR-85N, UMR-87N) work with the SignoRegular length refill kit or the Signo Shorty length refill kit.

Pilot G2 Mini

The Pilot G2 Mini refill (also known as the Pilot G2 Pixie or Pilot G2 XS depending on your location) is offered in the TechLiner Super Shorty length. Due to the compact size, this is the only refill currently compatible with our Super Shorty length pens.

Lefty Recommendations

Uni-Ball's Jetstream ink dries very quickly. If Pilot's G2 is preferred, smaller tip sizes leave less ink on paper and dry faster as a result.

Regular (5.75") and Shorty (5.0") Length
TechLiner Jetstream to Pilot G2 locally sourced conversion

What if I run out of ink and I need a quick fix for my Regular or Shorty length TechLiner (and I don't have a Pilot G2 conversion kit)?

All that's needed is a Pilot G2 (or G2 Pro) retractable pen from any local supply store. "Retractable pen" is important because the spring along with the refill will be used from the G2 pen (refills alone don't include the spring).

Replace the front spacer and front o-ring (if included) with the spring from the retractable pen.

TechLiner Pilot G2 Mini Assembly

Parts List

1.  G2 Mini ring magnet*

4.  Tail washer

*Magnets are directional. Inserting reversed will cause the magnetic cap to repel. 

Super Shorty Length (4.0")
What if I run out of ink and I need a quick fix for my Super Shorty length TechLiner?

The Super Shorty was designed to utlize the Pilot G2 Mini (Pilot's Pixie line).  All that's needed is a Pilot G2 Mini (also known as the Pilot Pixie) retractable pen from any local supply store. Please note: the G2 Mini is more challenging to find locally than the common G2 (non-mini)

"Retractable pen" is important because the spring (#2) along with the refill will be used from the G2 Mini pen (refills alone don't include the spring).

Replace the front spacer and front o-ring (if included) with the spring (#2) from the retractable pen.
