AFMAT Pencil Sharpener Manual, Metal School Pencil Sharpener, Heavy Duty Pencil Sharpener for Classroom, Sharpen 6000 Times, Helical Steel Blade, Not Easy to Break, for School/Home/Office, Black

I like the sharpener. It would be very much improved, however, is I could have a vacumn (sp?) attachment on its base so that it could be temporarily fastened to a desk or table surface. I notlced there is a transverse hole in the base of the unit. Is this, perhaps, for the attachment I want? Give me a buzz. Thanks.............. DJ Brown

The media could not be loaded.  I remember growing up with this type of manual, mechanical pencil sharpener when I was a kid but then kids these days are spoiled with using electric pencil sharpener.Our electric pencil sharpener broke down recently so I was looking for a new one then came across this manual sharpener that I was used to using so I purchased this for my kids instead of another electric one.Well, I made the right choice because this sharpens so much better than the electric one and kids actually have fun and get kick out of rotating the handle and putting the work to sharpen their pencils!WHAT I LIKE:[+] No need to plug-in or replace batteries! Making it very portable without having to look for an outlet[+] Sharpens better than the electric sharpener![+] 5 different settings on the back to adjust the sharpness of the lead tip[+] Easy access to the shaving box for emptying the pencil shaves[+] Heavy duty and durable material[+] Has pass-through hole on the bottom center for optionally mounting on a desk or table (but it doesn't come with tool for mounting)[+] Price!WHAT I DON'T LIKE:[-] Absolutely nothing!THE BOTTOM LINE:10 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend this pencil sharpener. Once you experience it, you can't go back to using an electric sharpener. I am extremely happy and satisfied with this product!Hope this was useful... and if it was, please click on the helpful button below. Thank you!

This product does sharpen pencils to a fine point, which I love!! However, if a piece of lead gets stuck inside of it, it is very difficult to get the lead out. The reason for the 3 star rating is because, in the classroom, I don't have 30-45 minutes to figure out how to get broken lead out of the sharpener! Therfore, I only actually was able to use this sharpener for maybe 4-5 days. In the classroom of four year olds, I can not and should not have to devote so much time to getting one little piece of lead out of a stinking pencil sharpener!!

I had this sharpener for a few months. It did a great job. But something got jammed in it and when we got it unjammed the handle fell off.

I've homeschooled four children for the last five years, and a pencil sharpener is a must. I'd gone through 3 electric ones, and every single one broke. I wanted the manual kind from when I was in grade school, but I didn't want to drill holes in my wall for it.This sharpener is what I was looking for. The retractable pencil grip keeps a good hold on the pencil to be able to use both hands to turn the crank and hold it steady. It has a sturdy construction and seems very durable. The best part is you get perfect pencil tips every time and have five different pencil tip choices.

I used it for about two years, not using it daily but couple of times a month. I loved it because of the way it sharpened the pencil. Couple of days ago, I was sharpening a new pencil and the handle just fell off. I guess it was cheap plastic because I wasn’t putting force into it. I reached the customer service because their website specifically said on their contact us page “ We provide unconditionally refund or free replacement if defective or any quality problems, life-time friendly customer service.” Apparently they don’t. They got back to me saying “it was out of stock for a long time? (I purchased this last year) Though we offer a one-year warranty (nope they said unconditionally on their website) this order was purchased on 2020-08-26, which was expired.” I’m disappointed. I didn’t even ask for a refund. I asked for a replacement and they can’t even do that.

Awesome! This little guy came as more sky blue than the royal blue in the stock photo. Maybe just luck, but I like it better. Also the 5 settings go from "5 = extremely sharp" all the way to "1 = you can draw murals on toothpicks". Seriously the 1 setting is a razor sharp edge. This thing works perfect and leaves a beautifully sharp point every time. 6 stars.

Cheap construction. Does not his pencil firmly so the pencil rotates in the brace while sharpening. You have to hold it.

It really works and makes a sharp point every time! Even my 8 year old granddaughter can use it. It's a little awkward until you get used to having to hold it but with the gripping mechanism for the pencil, which is genious, by the way, it is very functional. I paid an extra dollar and ordered the black one.Easy to clean with the drawer that pushes out and the rotary comes out for the odd time a piece gets stuck. Just follow the directions which are adequate in spite of the small print.Highly recommend.

Excellent tool, I bought this to replace my DAHL sharpener which had been giving me problems from the get go. The all metal construction makes it much sturdier than higher priced plastic ones, disassembly for maintenance is super easy and yes the entire unit outside of the shaving catch is metal construction. The tip adjuster is probably the only let down on this unit as it doesn't really offer the full range of tips as indicated.

This sharpener is AMAZING! We’ve had it for over a year and it’s so easy to use, even my 4 year old could use it. (Unlike others we’ve had)It has a convenient little tray that collects all the sharpenings and the kids can dump themselves easily.This has saved me from having to sharpen the kids pencils for them- as they can do it themselves quickly! And very sharp!

Il a l'air d'être robuste mais il faut le tenir avec une main et tourner le levier avec l'autre main. À part de ça, ça fait son job.

I have tried a lot of sharpeners, so this is the best I found. Even if the quality of the pencil is not so great, it gives a reasonable point.
