Review on STAEDTLER Pencil Sharpener with Secure Screw-On Lid for Accidental Opening Prevention - Premium Quality, Compact Size for Pencil Case and Work-Station - 511 63BK (Pack of 1), Assorted Colors by Morgan Gilmore

later If you need a pencil sharpener, just buy this one and stop looking. This pencil sharpener is amazing because it SIMPLY WORKS. I've used it on dozens of pens already and the dots come out perfect every time. Sharp enough to write well, but not so sharp that the tip becomes brittle and breaks as soon as you start writing. All shavings are neatly collected in a container, and not once has the tip broken off or gotten stuck in the sharpener itself. part, they all suck. I don't know why it's so hard to make a pencil sharpener that actually works, but there seem to be many that don't work. The most common problem is pencil sharpeners, which sharpen the pencil so that the tip breaks as soon as you start writing. Or worse, the tip of the sharpener will break off before you're even done (in which case you'll have to fish the broken lead out of the sharpener blades before you can try again). This sharpener gets my pencils sharpened the first time, every time.
