Review on Efficient and Convenient: X-ACTO KS Manual Vacuum Mount Pencil Sharpener for Precision Sharpening by Denese Fothergill

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I decided to go back to old school and found this guy who works great with vacuum mounts! It absorbs instantly on any smooth surface

I got tired of using manual sharpeners and never bought an electric sharpener that lasted more than a few months. I decided to go back to old school and found this guy installing a vacuum cleaner and it works great! It sucks instantly on any smooth, hard surface and releases when you let go of the grip. Sometimes he gets a little stuck, but he rarely needs coaxing. It sharpens like a chainsaw. You can sharpen anything from fairly sharp to very sharp. Be careful, because just sanding a pencil will make it so sharp that it will break as soon as you start writing. He even sharpens the cheap Christmas pencils that kids get from their friends for Christmas and Valentine's Day. And keep an eye on the kids, because one of my twins sharpened three pencils into simple points in literally under two minutes while I was busy. her sister with her homework. They like to use it, but I think it's better if I help them or stand by so they don't keep sharpening.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • boring packaging
