Pen kit comparisons.
Aug 9th, 2020 at 6:12pm
 
Once saw a "table" where pen kits were compared to different retailers. IE same pen, different names. Now I cant find it. Anyone point me to it? Short term, what other retailers sell a Rockler Manhattan pen kit?

Can't answer your question but it makes me wonder.  If different vendors are selling similar named kit, either it is made by a common manufacturer selling the same kit to different vendors and thus identical, or different manufacturers are making similar kits in which they would be similar but not identical.  Don't know if this would be important to you.

Pen kits are almost primarily made between China and Taiwan. The companies that sell the pen kits order then from most of the same manufacturers. They have some specialized for the company ordering them. 

Bottom line is yes, they are basically identical pen kits from the same manufacturers with a variety of names that are all similar. You can probably find the pen manufacturers with enough digging on the internet if you really wanted to.
