Overview

Inserting a woodcase pencil into this X-Acto sharpener starts a cycle that SmartStop ends automatically, while a bold LED light shows when it is done. A slip-resistant bottom holds the unit in place on a desk.

Fewer interruptions in class is the goal, with an extra-large shavings bin that is easy to empty. The auto-adjust dial handles different pencil sizes without manual setting. A cord limits placement to near an outlet.

Who it's for

Classrooms, studios and offices with a fixed outlet. The break-resistant build and auto stop suit heavy use. Travelers and cordless users should look at a manual model.
