Review on πŸ“ IRWIN Carpenter Pencil Sharpener (233250): Precision Sharpening for Carpentry Pencils by Carol Miller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Complete scrap, maybe mine is defective?

The pencil doesn't sharpen at all, I had to try really hard and tilt it to even touch the blade. Luckily for me it was only a few dollars and I didn't lose much. **EDIT**: S0 I was right, my WAR was defective. I kept looking at it because I was curious how it could be so bad and not work at all. There is a key/groove that holds the blade in place. Mine was assembled so that the blade "up" on this guide pushed it too far to actually make real contact with the pencil. When I disassembled and reassembled it everything worked. One of the screws was stripped so I had to use my own but at least it works now. So I give it 3 points instead of 1. If you get one that works, I'm sure it will work very well.

Pros
  • Carpenter's pencils with a unique shape.
Cons
  • I'll write later

A good pencil sharpener that leaves a little finish work to the user.
