 Best sharper I have ever boughtDec 12, 2008
By Z Sikder
I use pencils of various sizes when I do sketches in my art book. And I always do the sketches with with this handy pencil sharpener at the ready. I am pretty fixated about always having a sharp edge when I draw or write with a pencil. So naturally, this is the perfect companion to have for someone like me. The bottom case holds a good amount of pencil shavings. This beats any electric sharpeners I have used over the years and it is portable so you can take it anywhere. Plus it is very durable. I have not noticed any dullness in the blades even after using it for about a year.
If you are looking for a pencil sharpener, get this one. It beats most electric sharpeners and it sharpens them more also.

Excellent productMar 10, 2008

Great sharpener. Unlike the cheapo ones you can get from staples, this sharpener really gets the pencils to a razor sharp point. Almost too sharp because then the tip can easily break. That's ok. All staedtler products I have purchased have been excellent.

works greatOct 17, 2009
By C. Kennedy
This sharpener is very well constructed and sharpens a nice point,it also has a good feel to it.I think it will last. I bought this to replace several sorry electric and manual pencil sharpeners around the house.There are alot of poorly designed products out there.You would think it ain't rocket science.Most of them do not work well out of the box.

Good sharpener for colored pencilsDec 12, 2010
By Jeff in CA
This review is for the Staedtler 512-001 A6 "Tub" pencil sharpener.
I use red and yellow colored pencils at work - either Ticonderoga or Col-Erase brand. We have a standard AC powered pencil sharpener from Panasonic but it doesn't work very well with colored pencils. It doesn't leave enough wood surrounding the pencil tips and they break off easily. Colored pencils have leads that are both soft and brittle. I measured the sharpening angle of the Panasonic and it's only 16 degrees. No wonder it never worked very well with colored pencils.
The Staedtler sharpener has two holes: 23 degrees and 30 degrees.
Either one works well with colored pencils. It's a vast improvement over the standard old Panasonic office sharpener. The 30 degree hole is larger than a standard Col-Erase colored pencil diameter, so it's not as easy to use as I would wish, but it's still usable. (Based on that, I would give it 4.5 stars). The 23 degree hole is the standard pencil size diameter and it works well with colored pencils, so it's no real problem.
See the photos I posted and read the captions for more information.

Great Little SharpenerMar 19, 2009
By Kibbles&Bits
"Brayn K"
This is a very good sharpener. It is a hand held model that I use at home. It is compact and sturdy. With very little effort one can sharpen their pencil to a very sharp, centered point.
I recommend this for those who, like me, just need to sharpen a pencil now and then. However, if I were running a business I would consider buying a few of these and chaining them down around various places in the office to prevent theft. They are that good!!
