X-ACTO KS Manual Pencil Sharpener, Mountable, Metal, 1 Count - Classroom, Teacher Supplies, Adjustable for 8 Pencil Sizes

Sharpens pencils beautifully just like back in the day in school. I've needed one for years for woodworking and other projects. It gets old sharpening pencils with a utility knife. Mounted easily to my workbench. I love it what can I say?

This is probably the most reliable and consistent way to sharpen a pencil. I mounted it in the garage and it cleanly sharpens pencils. I previously tried small plastic handheld sharpeners, but the graphite kept breaking; I wondered if it was an issue with the quality of the pencil, but I didn't have that problem sharpening the same pencils with the X-ACTO sharpener.

I bought this product in 2020. It worked great better than any electric. It finally quit sharpening evenly think the blades have worn down. We homeschool and sharpened countless pencils so we got our money worth. I’m ordering another it lasted 6 years!

I would have given a 5 star review, but the mounting is a little difficult. Other than that, this thing is amazing. I use big, triangular or oval pencils for construction. This can actually sharpen them. As I said, the mounting sucked. The screws aren't good and the holes are so close to the base. We used drywall screws since the shank is a number 6 and a long extension bit. Anyway, it doesn't break the lead, leaves a nice point and requires minimum effort.

Love the nostalgia. Reminds me of when I was growing up and works well

Do you want a pencil sharp? This will do the job and not break after six weeks like the electric ones. The kids in my classroom think it’s amazing because you have to do it by hand, lol.

I actually did not know old-fashioned pencil sharpeners were still manufactured! When I found out, I immediately ordered one to put near my desktop. I had numerous lead pencils that had accumulated here and there, and the battery-operated sharpener did not work that well. This is a great manual sharpener, and reminds me so much of the ones we used at school. We even had a really old one at home, too. Love this purchase!

For an “old school” sharpener, this is just what I wanted to put in my workshop. This sharpener works GREAT!!

très bon taille crayon point de vu rapport qualité prix... car pas facile à en trouver sur le marché dans les prix moyens..... très satisfait de cet achat effectué il y a plus d'un an et qui fonctionne toujours aussi bien qu'au premier jour malgré un usage intense (plusieurs fois par jour)

The quality seems good, but it's very hard to use without fastening it to a table, and it has to be screwed into the table (making holes in the table).

A real boon to anyone who loves drawing. Works well with a variety of pencils but not with charcoal or very soft pastel pencils. The Faber Castell and Carbothello pastel pencils can be sharpened easily as they are relatively hard. The Conte pastel pencils however will tend to break as the leads are too soft. It also sharpens coloured pencils, graphite pencils and watercolour pencils. The odd colour will tend to break off eg some cobalt blues tend to be brittle. If a lead breaks off the sharpener won't work properly and you'll need to disassemble it with a screwdriver (a Phillips head screwdriver) which only takes a second, then get the broken lead out by tapping the barrel against a hard surface. The barrel and helical blades need a bit of a clean every now and again with a stiff brush anyway. All in all, well worth having and very good value.

I remember that back in the 1970's how strong, durable and easy to sharpen to a long, tapered point this X-Acto sharpener was. Now with grandkids going to school and always needing to sharpen, I decided to invest the money in a "quality" sharpener. How times have changed! The metal is flimsy and easily bendable. I am guessing that if I need to change the pencil hole diameter often, it will not last very long. Trying to secure the base, the screwhead stripped on one. Another screw broke off at the head. I will need to buy new screws and will have a difficult time getting the stripped and broken screw out. Be sure to pre-drill holes for less aggravation, although you will still have problems. I am disappointed in my purchase.
