I have for years done things to save every penny for my retirement. Since retiring I have started to do things for myslef to make my life easier. I am glad I did things to save money for retirement, but some things I regret not buying sooner. I finnaly bought an electric pencil sharpener. With the perfect points I get with this X-ACTO Helix 1900 Electric Pencil Sharpener I really am happy. What a differance and this is one thing I wish I had bought years ago for my business. The old hand held sharpeners were bad at making a great point. And I wasted thousand of pencils over the years breaking them in those cheep hand held sharpeners. You really have to try this electric sharpener if you use any pencils to write, draw, or mark out places on work. Thanks.

I returned this 2 times. First time it broke after two pencils thought it was a lemon tried a new one. The second time it broke after two weeks normal home use I realized it was a piece of garbage and returned it for my money back. Don't waste your time and energy.

          Comments about X-ACTO Helix 1900 Electric Pencil Sharpener Silver:

          This sharpener is excellent. Makes a reasonably sharp point (but not too sharp) with well-rounded even taper to point which is also well-centered. Far better than the battery operated Staples brand sharpener I had.

              Comments about X-ACTO Helix 1900 Electric Pencil Sharpener Silver:

              Very easy to use. Reasonably priced. Sharpens pencils very fast. You have to be careful not to leave them in too long or it will eat them up. Super sharp points are durable and long lasting. Cup is sized appropriately for medium use. I have only had the sharpener for a month or so so I haven't really had a chance to beat it up yet. Super fast shipping from STAPLES.

                    NO!! Receptacle Size = 6 ... Meaning only Standard Size pencil's. No Crayons, Chalk, or soft waxy pencils as they will clog your sharpener's cutters.

                    Standard pencils best and works well with 'decorated' pencils. Not for jumbo pencils.

                    A:

                    Fixed diameter inlet. MAX (via caliper measurement) 3/10" - perhaps a little more. The poor centering may be due to this device trying to satisfy too broad a market without providing a simply adjustment on the front end.

                    No it will not, if too large or too small it chews the pencils up.
