Overview
A pencil case or school bag is where this Staedtler sharpener is meant to live, since the screw-on lid stops shavings from escaping. It has a metal blade and a tub that collects the waste. It sharpens standard graphite and colored pencils by hand.
Closing the lid locks the shavings inside, which makes it easy to carry. Turning by hand is slower than a motor, and hole sizes are a blank in the specs.
Who it's for
Students, teachers and office workers who sharpen a few pencils a day will find a neat, portable unit. A classroom that sharpens a large pile every morning, or anyone using jumbo pencils, will want a different type.
Pros and cons
- Screw lid contains shavings
- Portable and light
- Suits standard and colored pencils
- Hand powered, slower than electric
- Hole sizes not listed
- Jumbo pencil fit not confirmed
- Warranty details not given
Performance notes
A metal blade shaves the pencil as it is turned by hand, and the tub collects the waste. The lid screws on to lock shavings inside between uses. Point quality depends on the blade edge and the pencil used.
