The Faber-Castell TK 9400 clutch pencil is a classic mechanical pencil designed for artists, technicians and students who need reliable, precise lines. It features a slender, balanced shaft with ergonomic finger grooves and powerful jaws that grip the lead securely. This model is available in multiple lead hardness grades and comes in a black finish with consistent performance for drawing and writing.
