Review on πŸ”‹ Efficient Battery Pencil Sharpener: Bostitch BPS2-BLUE, Hinged Tray, Colored Pencil Compatible by Amber Perez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Is working. Refurbished/Refurbished

For kids, quick and easy to take anywhere. It works well and is helpful. The problem is that it's cheap. He was yanked off his knees on a book and broke half the solder joints for the battery/motor, rendering him unusable. I took it apart and found that all of the solder joints were of extremely poor quality. I fixed the weak broken connections and hardened the other pathetic connections with a fair amount of solder. Now it works great and is as durable as it should have been in the first place. If you can't or don't want to do this repair, I would look around for something better. Still, it works great now and it's everything we need at a good price.

Pros
  • Built-in safety switch to prevent operation when shavings tray is open
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
