Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Faber-Castell Double Hole Metal Sharpener: Ideal for Graphite, Color, and Pastel Pencils by Summer Hendricks

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for watercolor pencils

If you are buying this for your Faber-Castell watercolor pencils I would not recommend this product. It's not like it's complete junk, but you have to push really hard to get the hexagonal pins into the smaller hole. This will destroy the pencil's coating (no big deal, only harms OCD), but if you press too hard or carelessly pull, the core will crack (frustrating the entire populace, deadly to OCD). Can you use a bigger hole? Yes it works. But that doesn't give you a perfectly sharp tip, which is useless for my purposes, by the way. One star is probably unfair for this product, it's a good little and sturdy sharpener. But I'd rather spend money on uncompromising products, and since it's fatal to me, it only gets one star.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old
