Today I am checking out the brand new diamond painting pen from diamond art club!

Up until now all diamond painting companies have been offering the standard plastic straw and nylon tip with the brass insert.

Diamond Art Club have now upped their game by including a much more ergonomic pen in their new tool kit that comes preloaded with diamond painting putty that feeds the tip.

Gone are days of pink wax!

Well, not quite...

The new branded pen is much thicker and more comfortable to hold than the standard straw.

It feeds putty to the tip by simply twisting the pen, very gently.

Twist too much and the putty keeps coming out if the tip. Like squeezing a tube of toothpaste too hard, but slower.

It does take a bit of practice to get it right but it's a great idea.

Extra putty is also included which should give hours and hours and hours of use.

The putty is very tacky but I did find it a bit stringy at times and it did leave some excess on the drills at times which I found difficult to completely remove.

A bit like trying to remove chewing gum.

The room temperature was 25C (77F), which may have made the putty softer than normal.

Having a white pen tip with white putty also made it difficult to see if there was excess putty around the tip.

I've been using tweezers to place drills for a couple of years now. I'm not used to seeing residue on or between the drills so I'm probably being a bit more critical.

I know that it will probably look fine from a normal viewing distance.

Overall, I think the new pen is a big improvement over the standard pens, being much more comfortable to hold and having the putty inside the pen means no more dipping in wax, unless you want to use the multi placers that come with the pen.

Diamond Art Club have always been a company that pushes the standards and quality of diamond painting kits and this pen is another step in the right direction.
