Review on ✏️ Derwent Manual Dual Hole Pencil Sharpener (2301930) by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does it look like a trash can? yes it is garbage

I bought this to sharpen colored pencils. I used 24 out of 36 PrismaColor Verithin pens and they stopped working at all. When sharpening, 7 mines broke several times. I had to take the sharpener out of the case to be able to pick up the sharpener and rotate the pencil to sharpen it without breaking the lead. I have some amazing Derwent pencils so I figured this might be the case too, especially after reading the reviews. I am very disappointed in this product. Shame on you, Derwent! It was a great idea, poorly executed with quality materials. I'll probably throw it in the trash as it's useless at the moment.

Pros
  • Sharpens both small and large pencils
Cons
  • Fine
