It's a beast

I recommend watching X acto's video which has the specifications of the different sharpeners to help you decide which one you need. I tried this one because of the double spiral blades. And, wow, that's a beast, very big and heavy! So I think it has the best motor and will probably run for the next hundred years!

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Also when used to sharpen pencils with a decorative plastic foil, the foil will clog the cutter blades and you will need to remove the sheath to gain access for cleaning. After a few years the internal safety lever broke and had to be fixed with a nut and bolt. I also had to use

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

The School Teacher's Best Friend

I bought this sharpener in November 2009. As a homeroom teacher, I went broke and spent $140 on them. I'm tired of buying sharpeners that break every school year. I bought mid-priced pencil sharpeners and was so upset they wouldn't last the school year. I decided on this sharpener. I was the only one allowed to use it. I never let my first years use it. I used it for a whopping 7 YEARS before noticing that its sharpness was diminishing. These decorative pencils with plastic wrap and glitter are

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
