Choosing among converters, cleaning & pen cases gets easier once you separate two jobs: maintaining a pen after use or transferring ink into a converter cartridge. The Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW is built around cleaning tasks, while the 5pcs Hongdian Fountain Pen Filler Ink Pen Syringe Absorbor Device Tool focuses on ink absorption. Here is the practical split.
Quick verdict
- Choose Point if removing old ink, changing ink, or cleaning inside a feeder is the priority.
- Choose Hongdian if you want a syringe-style tool for absorbing ink into converter cartridges, particularly for the Moonman and Hongdian pen use cases named with it.
The listed prices are nearly identical, so the intended task matters more than the small difference.

Where each product wins
Point wins on cleaning scope. Its stated use covers removing old ink, changing ink, and cleaning the inside of a feeder, making it the more direct choice for routine pen maintenance.
Hongdian wins on cartridge ink handling. Its syringe and absorber format is described for ink-converter cartridges, including situations involving small amounts of ink or awkward nib contact with a bottle. It is the more focused option when the job is transferring ink rather than flushing old ink from a pen.
Product notes
Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW
Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW is the more clearly defined pick for a pen-maintenance session. Its stated fit for mini international size cartridges gives it a concrete place in a setup, while the injector-and-cartridge format separates it from a standalone fountain pen ink syringe. The listed dimensions-85 x 13 x 18 mm for the injector and 40 x 8 x 8 mm for the cartridges-also give a clear physical reference without implying performance. The limitation is scope: Point is framed around cleaning, ink changes, and feeder care. Shoppers whose main task is drawing ink into a fountain pen converter should look to the Hongdian tool instead. Choose Point when old-ink removal is the priority.
5pcs Hongdian Fountain Pen Filler Ink Pen Syringe Absorbor Device Tool
5pcs Hongdian Fountain Pen Filler Ink Pen Syringe Absorbor Device Tool takes a different route. It is described as a spring ink auxiliary absorber and syringe tool for ink-converter cartridges, with Moonman and Hongdian pens named in the use case. That makes the format a direct match for handling small amounts of ink and avoiding nib contact with the bottle. Metal is the listed material, and stainless steel is the listed nib material; those are useful identifiers when the tool format is your priority. The limitation is scope: the stated use centers on ink absorption, not the old-ink removal and feeder-interior cleaning that Point explicitly covers. Pick Hongdian when cartridge filling is the task.
Final choice by use case
- For old-ink removal, ink changes, or feeder cleaning: choose Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW.
- For absorbing ink into a converter cartridge: choose 5pcs Hongdian Fountain Pen Filler Ink Pen Syringe Absorbor Device Tool.
- For mini international size cartridge fit: Point has the specifically named match.
- If price is the tie-breaker: the listed spread is USD 0.04, with Point at USD 12.95 and Hongdian at USD 12.99, so the cleaning-versus-filling distinction is the stronger reason to choose.
