Been there, done that. I have dozens of Rapidographs that have to be cleaned regularly when you are using them.

My kitchen sink has a disposal that my hand will not fit in, but my kids' will, so I get them to fish out small parts.

Knew it was a TP thread, pleasantly surprised with the content though

Not looking forward to when this finally happens to me

my biggest fear is dropping anything in the sink. i always put something on top of it, or use that little thing that clogs it.

that and accident(why this would be an accident i dont even know) putting my hand in the garbage disposal and turning it on.

wow.. the sink is pretty hard to take apart..

got my nib..... thank god it's heavy enough to stay put.

Am I the only one who unplugs the disposal before putting hands or fingers into it?

Wonder if anyone has ever accidentally dropped an expensive keycap down the sink.

My dad jokes with me. You're younger go do this for me. Then the whole family has this attitude "you see, this is why we have kids". Fetch beer from cooler go on the roof to tighten the satellite. Shove your hand in dark, slimy places.

Fountain pen tips are not made of steel? In that case you could try a magnet.

Magnet doesn't work on the tip, usually it's stainless steel (chrome alloy)
