Choosing among converters, cleaning & pen cases can feel simple until two fountain pen cleaning kits point to different pen setups. The useful question is not which kit sounds more efficient; it is which stated fit and cleaning method match your pen. Point names mini international size cartridges, while Gilprop specifies Japanese caliber 5.6mm. Once that match is clear, the price difference becomes a secondary decision.
Quick verdict
Choose Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW when mini international cartridge compatibility is the relevant requirement and the routine includes changing ink or cleaning inside the feeder. Choose Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit, New Efficient Pen Nibs Cleaner, Suitable for Clean when Japanese caliber 5.6mm is the named match and a four-part tool matters. The fit cues are different, so match the pen before deciding.

- Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW: Best aligned with changing ink, removing old ink, and cleaning inside the feeder. Its injector-and-cartridge format is specifically connected to those tasks.

Product notes
Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW
Point is a clear choice for a routine that involves changing ink or cleaning inside the feeder. It is also intended to remove old ink, giving the kit a defined role beyond a single flush task. The injector-and-cartridge setup reinforces that purpose. The limitation is the listed 16.3g weight, which may matter to someone assembling a lightweight carry kit. Point is compatible with mini international size cartridges, so that named cartridge format should anchor the decision. Shoppers focused on a Japanese 5.6mm pen have a different stated fit to consider.
Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit, New Efficient Pen Nibs Cleaner, Suitable for Clean
Gilprop earns the nod when the Japanese caliber 5.6mm specification matches the pen. Its four-part construction includes an increased-pressure section, suction hose, damping ring, and connecting head. Simple operation is also part of its stated appeal, giving shoppers a concrete reason to choose this format. The limitation is package quantity: one unit is listed, which may be less convenient when preparing tools for several pens. Plastic construction and a clear color are specified as well, so shoppers who want a different material or appearance may prefer another setup. The fit should come first, because 5.6mm is the named scope.
Final choice by use case
- For mini international cartridge compatibility: choose Point Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit - NEW. The cartridge format and feeder-cleaning purpose are the clearest match.
- For Japanese caliber 5.6mm: choose Gilprop Fountain Pen Cleaning Kit. Its stated scope and four-part construction suit that use case.
- For changing ink or removing old ink: Point has the more directly named tasks.
- For a defined four-part cleaning tool: Gilprop is the more specific match.
Gilprop carries the lower listed price, with a $1.75 spread between the two kits, but the stated fit is more important than that narrow gap. If your pen's requirement is known, choose the kit whose cartridge or caliber description matches it.
