One of those moments where you read enough Reviews beforehand that forewarn the product defects, yet you take the risk and buy only to witness the issue first hand

Just what I needed for my Grandkids, they kept breaking the hand held cheap ones

Best sharpener hands down

We have gone through electric ones and cheap hand crank plastic ones and they couldn't keep up.

BUT he is left handed and hung it opposite of what most of us would use.

Perfect for my boys, no more crappy plastic hand held ones, and no more pocket knife sharpening jobs

After doing battle with many pencil sharpeners, including a battery powered one that worked for about 10 pencils and the cheapo ones that would cramp your hand and break off the tips of the pencils, I finally found one that is awesome!

It does beat out the cheesy plastic hand held sharpeners.

If you mount it on a wall for use for turning the handle with your right hand, the basket dumps as you take it off

got tired of the cheapy little hand sharpeners that broke my lead every time a tried to sharpen my pencils I use in marking wood cuts.

Was sick and tired off using wimpy hand sharpeners

Have had many battery operated sharpeners as well as hand ones, nothing beats the school-type sharpeners

works as

Works as

This doesn't really bother me as I don't sharpen a ton

If you mount it on a wall for use for turning the handle with your right hand, the basket dumps as you take it off

Works as long as you can turn it.

Disappointing as you really should not need to buy a pencil sharpener every few years.
