Review on Efficient Pencil Sharpener: Maped Clean 2 Hole, Assorted Colors (030249) by Tara Ford

I work in a publishing house where I often have to mark manuscripts with colored pencils. Despite this necessity, the only pencil sharpeners in my office are super-simple, open-ended ones that shatter your entire desk. I was exhausted from having to sharpen over the trash can (and inevitably breathing in the wandering chips that still somehow found their way out), so I coughed up $3.99 and ordered one of these handy little Maped Clean Shapers. I love that I no longer have to worry about shavings getting on my keyboard or clothes, and the sharpener does a good job of shaping pencils without breaking the lead. Definitely worth $3!
