Overview
A busy classroom or office gets a corded electric sharpener built for strenuous daily use. A selector dial adapts to the pencil sizes used in schools, and the tip saver prevents over sharpening. The shavings tray shuts the motor off whenever it is taken out.
Durability and quiet running are the focus, with a motor and thermal overload protection built for classroom demands. The footprint is bigger than a personal sharpener, and it needs a power outlet.
Who it's for
Teachers and office managers with lots of pencils and mixed sizes get a rugged unit with a safety shutoff. Home desks with a pencil or two a day, or any space without an outlet, are better served by a smaller unit.
Pros and cons
- Selector dial covers many pencil sizes
- Handles colored and graphite pencils
- Quiet motor with overload protection
- Tip saver limits over sharpening
- Needs a power outlet
- Heavy for a desk accessory
- Warranty conflicts across the listing
Performance notes
A super duty motor drives the cutter, and thermal overload protection stops it from overheating under heavy classroom use. The dial positions the pencil for its size, and the tip saver stops sharpening before the point is over-cut. The tray safety switch prevents operation when the tray is out.
