Bombproof, heavy duty metal construction. Powerful motor. Sharpens pencils to a wicked point in seconds. Push pencil in until it stops moving forward. Done. Will eat up a new flat ended pencil like a tree chipper on Nitrox !! Best sharpener I have ever used. One of these serendipitously fell into my work bag. They were slinging a bunch of stuff from some old offices next to where I work into dumpsters. Getting a second so my kids will know the liberating joy of old-school machines that are built to work precisely AND last a lifetime. "They will tremble again at the sharpness of our penshils"- Sean Connery, The Hunt for Carmine Red 1980

It is not sharpening my pencils as well as it should. It is a great machine, but perhaps the blades on this used one were too worn. It is also very noisy, so that is why I think it is probably not in the best of shape. I may just buy another one to see if I can get a better result. They don't make these anymore and they are the best for sharpening pastel pencils.

I've had one of these for years at home. When I wanted one from work I asked our purchasing department to buy me one. It was a name branded with the "big box" store name. It was slow and took too long to sharpen a new pencil - probably a minute. I gave it back to my purchasing person and said "I'll buy my own" and bring it into the office. I'm thinking about buying another one for my garage.

I have had one of these sharpeners for years and have never found another one that works as well. I found this one on eBay at a reasonable price and decided to take a chance. It works as well as my original sharpener so now I have a backup in case the original eventually fails (I don’t expect to be any time soon).

I have owned one of these pencil sharpeners for 30 years. I was delighted to find another one for my office, as I still use wooden pencils daily, and a good pencil sharpener is essential.
