Review on πŸ“ Faber-Castell Trio Sharpener Box Grip 2001 Silver: Ultimate Precision for Pencil Sharpening by Heather Shaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My favorite to date!

I've only had this pencil sharpener for a week so I hope this item will last! I liked it so much that I recommended it to my child's teachers. What I like about this pencil sharpener: 1. It's a good size. Small enough to fit in my accessory box, but big enough not to lose it.2. It closes when not in use but opens easily, keeping the work area clean and easy to empty.3. Sawdust is minimal! This way you can point many pencils to a very sharp point without emptying it fifteen times! It has holes for a standard pencil, larger pencils like Dixon Tri-Conderoga Triangular #2 Pencils, Wooden Barrel, Black, Pack of 12 (22500) Larger Triangular Pencils AND for colored pencils!***5. The blades are sharp enough to sharpen pencils in seconds (pencils that have not been previously sharpened take longer) and with minimal effort! My four year old can sharpen an entire box of 12 crayons like LYRA Waldorf Selection Unlacquered Triangular Giant Crayons, 12 Super Ferby Set (3711121) in 5-7 minutes! They don't break my colored pencil lead as easily as other sharpeners! Update: One downside, the loop breaks easily, so it's difficult to keep the two sides together (one for large and irregular pencils, the other for colored pencils) :(. But they're still functional and sharp pencils very well!

Pros
  • Stationery & School Supplies
