Best I've Ever Used

Comments about Boston® Ranger® #55 Pencil Sharpener:

I am a substitute teacher and have used just about every pencil sharpener out there. My boys' school installed these and I've never seen anything like it. The Ranger eats through pencil lead like it's made of butter and leaves a smooth sharp point. Pencils are horribly made these days and I often have to throw out 25% of them because they sharpen on an angle and you can't get both lead AND a sharp point. With the Ranger I hardly ever have problems being able to get both. It's an expensive model and a bit blister forming if you're doing 200 pencils in a day since it's manual but I am in awe of its sharpening power.

Comments about Boston® Ranger® #55 Pencil Sharpener:

When the power went out we could still sharpen pencils! Bought one for school and one for home. Easy to install. Sharpens better and faster than any other sharpener (electric or manual) I've ever used. Most students had never seen any but electronic pencil sharpeners and were amazed that something without a motor was so useful and effective.

Not recommended especially in schools

Best Uses

Comments about Boston® Ranger® #55 Pencil Sharpener:

This reflects usage in a 2nd and 3rd Grade public school classroom. The grip on the handle that turns the sharpener is too small and causes sore fingers. We sharpen Ticonderoga Laddie HB2 pencils and it constantly breaks the lead, forcing us to sharpen and sharpen and sharpen. We often stop sharpening because it is whittling down the pencil too much. Not recommended unless you have the patience and perhaps a touch to prevent pencil leads from breaking. Unfortunately the school invested in this model. It is new and sadly lacking in practicality.
