Start with turning the clip around the axis of the pen. It should start moving. No worries you can't break anything as it's only clipped not screwed! Then slowly move it towards the end of the pen in circular movements. Two seconds and you're done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-34285590066596160772012-05-02T05:22:20.756+12:002012-05-02T05:22:20.756+12:00Hi fellas,

It's tuff and its elegant enough to use consistently for tech drawing. If you use a hard lead which I do it will shapen and hold a point very very well for tech drawing. Not for proffessional projects but plenty good enough for your own works.

It has an almost identical twin, the a classic TK 9400 model with the same barrel and inner mechanism, however has no clip and sharpener. <br />They both are good and reliable tools, however to me the grip of the TK feels a bit too narrow.

They look great and though the barrels are slim, their hexagonal shape makes up for it. <br /><br />@Julian Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829436160324856446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-39073869586247900202010-10-20T11:02:56.632+13:002010-10-20T11:02:56.632+13:00Nice review Vikram.
