Review on Maped ColorPeps Sharpener Assorted 043149 by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 2 out of 5

More optics than function.

I bought two new pencil sharpeners for the start of school. We used another Maped sharpener that held up for quite a while so I thought we'd stick with Maped. In addition, it looked cute and unusual. Instead of two different sized holes, one hole is ground into a traditional point and the other hole is sharpened into a more rounded point. Unfortunately none worked properly. Most of the time the pencil lead just broke and it took a few tries to sharpen it. Another sharpener I bought as a replacement, the Prismacolor Scholar, gave much more consistent results and was half the price.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Damaged
