Multipoint Professional Deluxe Pastel Pencil Sharpener

This product is for those who have tried sharpening their color or pastel pencils with a conventional pencil sharpener only to have them break over and over again. Or who have tediously shaved off the sides of their pastel pencils until they are almost perfect … then … darn!

This pencil sharpener is worth every shaving! The sharpener sports teeth that grips the pencil and a pulls it slowly into the shaving mechanism, five tip settings that determine the sharpness of the point and three settings that help stabelize different thicknesses of pencil (8mm – 12mm in diameter). Although it comes with a table clamp, its automatic pencil feeder makes operating it easy without needing to clamp it down to a table. The sharpener stops feeding and there is a noticeable lack of shaving noise when the desired point is achieved.

Like the other pencil sharpeners, this one will also tend to “gum up” once in awhile. When this happens, it is an easy matter to open it up and clean out the “lead” from its spiral shaver.
