Fabulous sharp points
I immediately attached to counter and began to get some sharp points in the room. I despise a DULL pencil point

Not Good
Bought this sharpener to be mounted on wall in teacher's class room. Teacher brought it back saying that handle fell off the first time she used it. Also, once you take off the main part which collects the shavings, it is very difficult to get back on.

Great Pencil Sharpener
This pencil sharpener works great. It give pencils a nice sharp point and sharpens smoothly. It's very versatile as it has plenty of pencil width options and it seems very well-made and durable. I also like that the sharpening blades can be replaced.

The perfect sharpener for me
This sharpener is amazing for how sharp and precise my point is on my pencils after sharpening. I like that there’s different sizes so that way no matter what pencil my student praying I can sharpen their pencil. It’s super durable, and I love the look of it in my classroom.

Great sharpener!
Love this! Reminds me of what I used as a kid. Works well and I love that it can be mounted so it doesn’t slide around. Quality name too. Can also move it if needed. Sharpens fast and accurately. I prefer over loud mechanical ones! Thank you!

Sharpens Pencils
It works great. The pencils come out very sharp and smooth. I wish there had been a mounting template to help mount it straight. I made my own template, so all is good.

Good but not great
While it puts a good sharp point on the pencil, it leaves a strip of wood extending up the lead which limits how long between sharpenings. Pencil has to be jiggled in the sharpener to stop this. Also there is no stop in it to prevent oversharpening. An entire pencil can be whittled down to a stub in seconds if not careful. It is otherwise strongly built to last a good l...

I am not impressed with this pencil sharpener.
It is virtually impossible to install this item in a manner that it will maintain its stability. Not recommended. Every other product I have purchased from Staples has been great. Just not this one.

Good Memories, Grade School to College.
There's nothing like a trip to the pencil sharpener. This one work just like the one in first grade. Five turns, then pull out for inspection. New pencils take more turns so inspect after each set of fives.

Great Sharpener
Great Mechanical Sharpener.
Done with the electrics- Plenty of sizing options & they just work forever, can mount them anywhere & in almost any orientation

Not very good
This was to replace another sharpener. However it does not work any better than the old one. The end of the pencil has wood covering graphite. Must be pealed back to write. (Simply does not grind to the center of the pencil)

Beats electric sharpener!
Our shop has gone through many electric sharpeners. You often have to rotate your pencil to get a sharp point and then the lead ends up breaking off inside the pencil and you have to start over. Not so with this good old-fashioned sharpener! Our guys in the shop are loving the nice sharp point on the first try!
