Pencil Sharpener (1 Pack) with Screw Lid and Tub - No Spill Compact Design for Standard and Colored Pencils, Metal Blade, Assorted Colors

This pencil sharpener is excellent. It makes your pencils very sharp and is large enough to store the pencil shavings yet small enough to be easily portable. It’s easy to open and clean. It’s has a nice blue color. It’s a hand sharpener with no battery which means you have to sharpen the pencil by inserting it into the pencil sharpener and twisting your pencil by hand.

I know, what can you possibly say about a hand held pencil sharpener? These little suckers are awesome. I use lot of pencils in the woodshop and around the house, but couldn't find a sharpener that didn't chew the hell out of the end of your pencil, and keave ragged cuts. This one doesn't. It gives a very smooth point and the leads aren't snapped off and stuck in the sharpener. The best small sharpener I've ever had.

Nice little sharper. It sharpens well and I haven't had any fits with sharpening my pencil lead., it has t broken my lead yet. There's no battery. Hand held. It has a deep bin so I use it for a while before it needs to be emptied. Screww the lid on and off for emptiness, lid screws back on nicely. I like the design it fits well in my pencil case.

Good sharpener.. does the job and better than another high brand we bought where the lid broke off and shavings got all over my child’s backpack! This has worked great so far!

Excellent quality. I've been always disappointed with sharpners, but this sharpner is amazing. It doesn’t break the lead, yet makes the lead sharp. This is now my fav sharpner for coloring and drawing!!

Sturdy and perfect! Sharpens extremely well!

I have bought this sharpener twice because it is my absolute favorite. I typically buy electrical sharpeners because I normally don't have much luck with the manual ones. I have tried cheap ones meant for school kids to expensive ones meant for high end colored pencils, and none of them could sharpen to a perfectly sharp point without breaking the lead in the process. Now this one...I can get incredibly sharp points on all my pencils, including colored pencils and watercolors. The key is to sharpen to the point where you don't break off the tip the first time you try to write with it. For softer leads, like watercolor, I tend to under-sharpen but it's still very sharp. Also, it doesn't take many turns at all to get a sharp point. Much less than you would expect. Once a pencil has a point, I usually only have to turn it once or twice in the sharpener to bring it back to a perfectly sharp point. I was so happy with how it sharpened my pencils that I ended up sharpening a whole pack of them at once. I've had my first one for probably a year now and it's in constant use and still as perfect as when I first bought it. Pros: - Perfectly sharp point on every single kind of pencil - Easy to use and turn pencils while sharpening - One or two turns is all it takes to get a dull pencil sharp - Sharpener can hold quite a few shavings before needing to be empties Cons - Pencil can be sharpened to a very fine point and may break when used to write (this is more of a pay attention and don't go past a certain point that you know your lead will surely break) - Somewhat pricey for a single sharpener (but since it works every single time unlike cheaper manual sharpeners...definitely worth the cost!)

I have had several of these in the past, and for a very reasonable price they did an excellent job of sharpening both standard and colored pencils. Due to Amazon's policy, even it being a prime option it is not eligible for return. They will issue you a refund if you get one that doesn't meet your standards. The one I got was a purple color and came in Staedtler paper/plastic package and so I am assuming that now all of this model, the 51163, are no longer made in Germany and are now manufactured in China as is stated plainly on the package. (I suppose it is possible that other colors are made in Germany, but I'm not going to bother trying random orders to see if I get one from Germany.) Once I was issued a refund, they basically gave it to me for free, I decided to try it out, and this one was acceptable. Compared to the red one made in Germany though, the sharpening wasn't even all around and the point kept breaking off immediately even though it appeared to be as sharp and sturdy as the result from the red one. It also didn't feel as clean while turning/shaving as the red one from Germany. It probably deserves a 3 star except that they hide the information about where it is manufactured and they switched it to China and it is not the same superior standard as before. So I'm dingeing them a star for questionable marketing/manufacturing practices. This leads me to question Staedtler overall and i will be very careful to only buy something from them if it can be verified where it is made before purchase. If anyone wants a superior quality sharpener still made in Germany and considered by some to be the world's best, try KUM sharpeners.

This product is very good for school use it sharpen your pencil very well and good for the price.
