Best OverallA hand-held dual-blade sharpener for art pencils, with a see-through body for emptying. It handles two point styles, and pencil diameters are not listed.
A hand-held sharpener built for the thick pencils young children use, with a lidded container to hold the shavings. It does one pencil size and has no electric option.
Popular PickA compact corded sharpener that stops itself before a point is over-ground, with a safety cutout on the shavings bin. It is a small desktop unit, not a heavy classroom model.
A compact electric sharpener for a desk at school, home or the office. It is specified for graphite pencils, so colored or jumbo pencils are not confirmed.
A small manual sharpener with a screw-on lid that closes the shavings in. It is for ordinary pencils, and the listing gives no hole sizes or blade details.
A heavy duty corded sharpener for classrooms, rated for a very long service life. It only takes pencils within the listed diameter range.
A tall, space-saving plug-in sharpener with two sharpness settings and an automatic stop. Motor and tray details are not described.
A compact handheld sharpener with a choice of holes and point angles. It is made for everyday use, not for sharpening in bulk.
A heavy-duty classroom sharpener that handles colored and graphite pencils across several sizes. It is larger than a personal desk model and needs a mains outlet.
A compact corded sharpener for desks where pencils get used daily, with an automatic stop that limits wasted wood. It takes pencils only, and the listing gives no hole size or pencil diameter range.
A heavy duty classroom sharpener with an automatic stop, an LED finish light and a safety cutout. It is corded and weighs more than a desktop mini model.
