Pencil Sharpeners, Aipker Manual Pencil Sharpeners, 4PCS Colorful Dual Holes Pencil Sharpener with Lid, Portable Pencil Sharpener for Kids Adults School Office

Works well for sharpening a pencil here and there. Sharpener is fine, flip out bottom to empty-- easy to clean. Colors are cute. Small, little sharpener can be put in a drawer without taking up room like an electrical one does. If you are sharpening a lot of pencils, though, you'll want to look at an automatic sharpener.

The children in the class love using these sharpeneers - colorful & they perform fine, sharpening the tips of color pencils & pencils for their drawing projects. They're easy for little fingers to perform.

I was originally hesitant to buy these since I saw a review saying that they don't work and just break your pencil over and over, but I decided these were cost-effective and tried them anyway.I have not encountered the repeat-breaking issue, and they work just fine for the No. 2 Ticonderogas I've been using. I generally use a soft grip, and I don't shove my pencil in all the way to the end. The whole point of the casing is to protect your hand from the blade--think of it as whittling a tree branch instead of simply "insert and twist."Using these for colored pencils (which have a different texture from No 2) may wear down the blade more quickly and make it more difficult to use them for sharpening (they're usually the reason electric sharpeners in schools never work well...) resulting in pencils being harder to sharpen later on, due to more force being necessary to whittle the pencil with the dulled blade.My advice is that since these come in different colors, you keep one dedicated to *only* No 2 pencils, and use the other three for your colored pencils.

These are great little sharpeners, andy kids loved them! But in 3months, most of them have either gone dull or the white blade piece has come apart from the colored case. My kids are rough on things, and there were five of them using these, so they'd probably last longer with a single, more gentle child or adult. They worked great for what we needed, but don't expect them to last forever.

Used for Bible school. Good quality

At first I thought these were great but they're actually very cheaply made. I've already blown through 3 of the 4 and I've been averaging about a week per 1. I'm going to invest into a better quality one.

I've had a lot of trouble finding decent manual pencil sharpeners. These actually work really well. It seems like a simple ask to be able to sharpen a pencil without a cord but so many products just mangle it instead. These actually work well. We keep one at the kitchen table, one at school, one in the junk drawer, and still have a spare. They're convenient and work well.
