Coolest pencil sharpener

Tried two other manual sharpeners and sent both back and wasted too much time learning about pencil sharpeners. This is the best I've seen and tried. It's very strong - heavy strong steel. It's very well designed. He presses himself against the edge of my table. I attached the clip to the side of the handle, although it can work either side, and I also put double-sided foam tape underneath to keep it in place at all. I recommend using a double stick to keep it firmly on the table. Unlike similar sharpeners, it won't leave marks on pencils as it has rubber grips instead of metal teeth. Sharpens perfectly every time. Tip setting was not up to expectations as I really wanted to dull the pencils for my 2 year old. but that's good enough. When you load the pencil, I apply a little pressure to open the levers so it has a tighter grip. This is particularly recommended for round colored pencils. Pencils can twist a bit, especially round crayons, but that doesn't matter as the pencils sharpen well. Spinning because clips with rubber instead of other sharpeners with metal teeth leave ugly marks on the pencil which I don't want. I never write reviews but I wanted this sharpener. I highly recommend this pencil sharpener. Spinning because clips with rubber instead of other sharpeners with metal teeth leave ugly marks on the pencil which I don't want.
