Highlights: Self-Feed Function
It is super easy to operate, just insert the pencil into the holder and crank clockwise while holding the sharpener, the pencil starts to move inside the sharpener with each crank; when the resistance decreases crank it anticlockwise and the pencil starts to come out on its own!
Tips:
- Please do not sharpen crayons, chalk, pastel, wax based pencils, eyebrow pencils, or ultra soft core charcoal/colored pencils as they will jam the blade and cause broken lead.
- Do not sharpen any more when the pencil is done, or it will chew up your pencils!
- Pencils with thicker core will get longer points. Standard No. 2 pencils don't get such long points.

Sadly I am not impressed with this sharpener. It eats a lot of the pencil and does NOT get it to a fine point. I’m sure it’s great for every day use but for art pencils I would skip it.

This thing is sooooo gooooodddd. I love the way it sharpens my pencils into the perfect led shape! This sharpener is a must if you’re an artist. It’s easy to use and really easy to clean. It’s also a pretty good size, not big and bulky, pretty good mediumish size is the best way I can describe it 😅

Ho iniziato a colorare con i pastelli Caran d'Ache in maniera professionale da poco, e mi serviva un temperamatite all'altezza, questo si e' rivelato perfetto! Fa delle punte lunghe anche se lasciato al minimo, l'unico lato negativo e' che e' piuttosto grande, ma ne vale la pena per avere sempre i pastelli temperati con delle mine che non si rompono facilmente

This sharpener is really wonderful, particularly for the price. It has easily adjusted settings for different lengths of points, sharpens effectively with a self feeding process and I've had very few leads break, including charcoal and pastel pencils; those that did are likely pencils that had a fractured lead to begin with. The opening is not adjustable to allow for larger diameter pencils, but Afmat sells other models that have that feature. I highly recommend it!

Love this sharpener, but wondering if I got a used one because the sandpaper it was supposed to come with was missing. Otherwise all that I had expected and more!

This makes long, lovely sharp points. It hasn't broken any leads on me. Be extremely careful inserting (get it in there all the way without forcing) and removing. It self feeds during sharpening, so don't try to hold the pencil in. You know when it's finished because there is no longer any resistance when you turn the handle. You can sharpen the pencil with a shorter point if you want to.I don't know if it eats the pencils faster. I have a pretty light touch and don't tend to break leads, so the sharp point lasts a long time, and I don't have to sharpen as often as others. It's easy to bring the lead back to a needle sharp point without using the sharpener simply by rubbing it against a paper. I use the side of the pencil most of the time, so this is great for me for covering large swaths of area quickly. Because it's manual, you can carry it with you easily, although like any handle-based sharpener it is a bit bulky.I recommend it.

I was not sure about this, it seemed too good to be true - a great point and a great price? Well, I must say I am glad I decided to try this sharpener!PROS:>>You don't need to hold onto the pencil - it feeds automatically and stops when the point is finished.>>A very long, sharp point - you can adjust it from a wider flat tip to a nearly pointed tip with a slightly flat end. This is not an issue though if you either sharpen it to a fine needle on a sandpaper pad (you can get these specifically for sharpening pencil points and don't need to open the drawer on this to use the one inside) or you can just work with it as is, angling it slightly and turning the pencil as you work. The point will be sharp after a few strokes.>>It seems to be very well built - time will tell, but I think this will hold up well. Bonus, you can buy a replacement blade should you need one. My thought is that I am just going to buy another whole sharpener to keep on hand :-)OBSERVATIONS (not really CONS):>>It does not work well with very soft pencils like Derwent Coloursoft. This IS to be expected since a super soft lead is not going to handle a long needle point well, it's just physics, nothing that is the fault of this sharpener. I thought it worth mentioning though, just so folks don't think they can use this with all of their colored pencils.>>It does not work well with thicker pencils - you can get a pencil in there that is slightly larger than the size of a Derwent Coloursoft, but it won't feed properly and it will sharpen with a ragged finish. Again, not really the sharpeners fault, it is not designed to handle fat pencils.>>After you have sharpened about 8 to 10 soft lead colored pencils, make sure you feed through a very hard lead graphite pencil to clean the blades. I keep a box of 9H pencils specifically for this purpose.>>This is fantastic for oil based colored pencils that have firmer leads. Since my pencil collection is about 2/3rds oil based pencils, this is going to see a LOT of use!>>Remember, if you have a set of cheap, poorly glued, low quality wood casing pencils, there isn't a sharpener around that will do a good job. Don't blame the sharpener when it is the quality of your pencils that is the problem.Overall, I highly recommend this sharpener!
