Overview
A screw-top lid closes the shavings container on this hand-held sharpener, which is made for large barrel pencils. The metal body is yellow and green, and one sharpener hole handles the single pencil size.
Large barrel pencils are hard to sharpen in standard holes, and this tool is made for exactly that size. It only takes jumbo pencils, so a regular pencil will not fit, and the listing gives no blade details.
Who it's for
A classroom or home desk where small children use thick beginner pencils will find the grip and lidded container suitable. Older students using standard pencils need a different sharpener.
Pros and cons
- Made for large barrel pencils
- Lidded shavings container
- Compact hand-held body
- Large barrel pencils only
- Blade material not listed
Performance notes
Twisting a thick pencil against the blade shaves wood and graphite into the container below, and the lid stops shavings from scattering. Sharpness of the point depends on the blade, which the listing does not describe.
