Not just for the classroom, nor just standard graphite pencils but satisfies even an Artist's needs. Sharpens: Thickest pencil - Caran d'Ache Luminance, Fragile pencil- Charcoal, Polychromos, Hexagonal pencils, All graphite pencils with ease. Pros: Versatile, sturdy construction, nifty table mount, good size, auto stops works like a charm, easy to disassemble and reassemble should one need to get the occasional broken nib out, it's quiet and easy on the hands too, on day one - I love it! Cons: broke one 7b pencil nib twice perhaps because of its thicker core and softer lead, leaves bite mark. Given that I use MANY types and brands of pencils - Carl Angel sharpeners high performance rate makes it easy for me to overlook the cons. After having read so many good things about this sharpener I decided to take the plunge. It's day one so I hope that the performance withstands my usage. The desk clamp SEEMS as if it would be loose but try locking it on a desk. I've seen people say that it doesn't work, not sure if they decided that before trying because mines sits sturdy. Edit: just bought another one the day after! Artsy Regards SP Read more

Cela faisait longtemps que je voulais ce fameux taille-crayon américain et j'ai profité d'une promo pour l'acheter. Malheureusement il ne taille pas du tout (même pas un peu). Je pense que c'est déjà un retour car la boite en carton est écrasée. A noter qu'il est "made in China" alors qu'à l'origine c'était "made in USA" bien que je viens de voir que cette mention ne figure plus dans la description d'Amazon Read more

This was a recommended sharpener that has been popular for a long time. I arrives pre-assembled but you may need to tighten the sharpener mechanism. Well made in metal and plastic. It sharpens plain & coloured pencils to a sharp point, rarely breaking the lead. I think this is value for money and I should have bought it years ago. Read more
