STAEDTLER Pencil Sharpener (1 Pack) with Screw Lid and Tub - No Spill Compact Design for Standard and Colored Pencils, Metal Blade, Assorted Colors

This is a great little sharpener and I appreciate the receptacle to catch the shavings.I took an empty Tylenol container, discarded the lid, then routed out the bottom of this sharpener. I applied glue on the inside rim of the bottle and slid the sharpener inside, I wrapped the Tylenol bottle with some tape for better grip. Now with my weak old hands I can hold the sharpener and get a good purchase to twist it around the pencil shaft to sharpen it..

This pencil sharpener has worked really well and has held up great, even after my grandson has used it to sharpen lots of colored pencils. It gives a nice, clean point every time and hasn’t jammed or worn out. Definitely a solid buy if you need something that lasts!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is just what I needed. Works great and easily stores in my desk drawer. Contains the shavings and doesn’t make a mess.

Very good pencil sharpener, especially for the price. Mine came red in color and made in China.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It is a simple manual pencil sharpener which I needed for my woodworking shop.

Love this, it works great and is well made

Not the quality I had experienced from this company in the past. It broke the lead in every colored pencil I tried to sharpen with it—and these were excellent quality pencils! I won’t waste another pencil using this poor quality sharpener again! I went back to an older Staedtler sharpener without a container and that worked great. Why did they change this sharpener when they had such a fine product?

Perfect for the kids, I really appreciate that I bought 5 of these and they sent me all different colors. The design works great for the kids to use and has fit almost every pencil we've thrown at it. It sharpens well and didn't give me any grief when I wasn't being very gently.
