Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Effortless Precision: X-ACTO 1178 Bulldog Vacuum Mount Manual Pencil Sharpener – Assorted Colors by Karla Richter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

With Prismacolor pencils, do yourself and the pencil a favor and don't touch the poor thing when sharpening.

For Prismacolor pencils, be firm but with a light hand, don't hold the pencil in your hands and it will sharpen to the perfect point! picture below. I don't spend as much as I would with a Prismacolor sharpener, and with the length of the barrel and sharp point (layers your rough chip paint and doesn't pick up the paper like a three year old) your pencils will last a heck of a lot longer. Or at least they do for me. Oh, and it's inevitable that you'll lose some color as that's the nature of pencil sharpening. When lubricating your sharpener with a pencil, be careful and you will feel and see when the pencil is sharp enough. No more excuses for sharpeners to waste your pencil, just be careful and don't touch the poor thing! At some point along the way we got lazy and stopped following what we were doing. Find out before you use a sharpener on any of your more expensive, prettier crayons. The group of 7 prismacolor pencils has not been freshly cut. They rattle in my white pen tray, which you see are just a bunch of blunts from use, not blunts from breaking. And the last picture of a single pencil just got sharpened. I haven't had any issues with lead wastage other than the usual issues with Prismacolor pencils and lead splinters when dropped. I hope you find this helpful and if you're having trouble sharpening your pencils don't forget to loosen them up a bit, use a graphite pencil so it acts as a kind of lube (oil) and not stain like a three year old . Everything will be fine! OK?!
