    • but it’s still really expensive for just a piece of cheap plastic.
    • It doesn't get torn up in the kids backpacks like those crappy plastic ones!
    • We've been using cheap plastic sharpeners for the kids homework and they never worked correctly.
    • It feels like a cheap little plastic sharpener, but man does this thing work
    • The entire rest of the item is cheap plastic
    • Good quality. made in hard plastic and steel
    • But I have one concern which is that you cannot tell when to stop sharpening your pencil because of the dark plastic and you don't see inside.
    • This one is of higher quality and the plastic isn’t cheap like some of the ones we have used.
    • WIth four school-aged kids, we have gone through a million small, cheap plastic sharpeners.
    • I keep this on my desk so they won't drop it and crack the plastic, and so far it's lasted a semester, with high hopes of making it through next year.
    • I just wish it had a clearer plastic case so that one can see where the blade is when rectifying pencils which have sharpened on one side
    • I will state here that the containers are made of a cheap-feeling hard plastic
    • Both the screw lid and container are made from high quality durable plastic and the sharpener itself (which is attached to the lid) is all metal
    • This one is of higher quality and the plastic isn’t cheap like some of the ones we have used.
    • Blade housing is all metal which is a plus, no cheap plastic parts that will break
    • The sharpener is made of metal, which is what I wanted after all the junky plastic ones.
    • They blades are so sharp that it only takes a couple of spins to get you pencil as sharp as you need it.
    • I use it every day - it always works as it should, never breaks the lead.
    • Just make sure to not blow (as with all sharpeners) on the blades
    • I was skeptical b/c of the price, but these things work perfect every time.
