Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Efficient Pink Wall Mount Manual Pencil Sharpener with See-through Receptacle - X-Acto 2012687-PNK by Christopher Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is the BEST pencil sharpener

The X-Acto manual pencil sharpener is by far the best sharpener I have ever used. I have a tutoring company and kids and parents ask me how I always have such sharp pencils. It sharpens very well and I only have problems when the pencil is bad. I've struggled with all types of sharpeners in the past (electric, battery, small handheld, etc.) but I've never had anywhere near the same results as this one. A few pointers: be dirty (do this over the bin) as there will be dust from the pencil graphite. It's best to empty it after each use to avoid the potential mess of having to dig out shavings and graphite. It adheres perfectly to hard surfaces. Try sucking on something heavy or immovable (a heavy table or countertop) rather than something that will wobble or move when pressure is applied (e.g. a wobbly table). "It lets you know when a sharpening is complete, like a sound and a feel. change as you rotate the blades. I use it frequently (every day, often) and I've found that due to normal wear and tear I need to replace it about every 3 years (the last time I replaced it the bowl broke when I put it on a tiled floor dropped). or the blades don't seem as sharp. Again, I sharpen a lot of pencils, so the cost of replacing them isn't an issue.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • There are nuances
