Homeschooling Terrible Headache

This was our first hand sharpener after 3 years of giving up our electric sharpener. If the tip breaks off inside the sharpener, which always happens with this sharpener and is difficult to remove, there is no physical way to get at one end of the jam. I spent over 30 minutes clearing this last jam. It just goes in the trash! I'm done! Also, the suction cup mount is very difficult to manipulate and needs to be in a position that feels best to stick to a surface. After 2-3 sharpenings, it needsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 2-in-1 base allows for temporary attachment (vacuum base) or permanent attachment (screws)
Cons
  • Long Lead Time

You get what you pay for.

Bostitch is a famous brand that I have always associated with high quality and durable pencil sharpeners. I assumed that when ordering. The price was reasonable, but I assumed (again) that its old-fashioned manual style wouldn't be as popular as the new electric models, so the price reflected that. The product arrived undamaged and I believe it works as intended. With care I can achieve very good results. However, I noticed 3 issues that devalued the product. 1- The plastic chip collector isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Available in a variety of colors: choose one of five fun colors (no color choices)
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Solid sharpener for the price

This sharpener offers excellent value for money. I don't think a single grinder is perfect for art pens, but it's fantastic for writing pens. The mounting suction cup is quite durable for desktop use. It will certainly stick to a smooth, non-porous wall surface, but it won't stick indefinitely. For this application the supplied rigid bracket and screws are a must as falling off a wall onto a very hard surface can damage the waste catcher. ***I came back to maybe buy another one for home use asโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Heavy duty steel cutter in molded holder for long life
Cons
  • Out of style
