Staedtler Double-Hole Tub Pencil Metal Sharpener

There is no doubt that product quality is outstanding

Great product. Just too costly.

~ There are certain products made for professionals. ~ This product is made for people who know the difference between the graphite & colour pencil points. ~ This is not a product to flaunt. ~ The only minus here is the flimsy plastic cover which covers the sharpener holes. ~ If you have a habit of dropping your pencil every 5 minutes, this sharpener won't fix the broken lead automatically...so don't blame the sharpener and give it a one star! :)

Nice product. Very useful.

I feel it’s expensive but then it’s coming from a brand of great repute. I love the fact that I don’t need to rush to dustbin after every single process of sharpening. The pencil shavings are nicely collected.

By mistake got this for a motor one. We don't we don't need such an expensive one for daily use. May be for professionals it would be a precise thing.

Quality not good

The product itself is fully satisfactory - it is beautifully designed, functionally perfect and looks great sitting on your desk. The only reason I am giving four stars instead of five is that it came covered with horribly sticky labels and it took a long time to remove them and their residue. I wonder why the labels cannot be pasted onto the packaging instead of being pasted on the product itself.

探していました。 子供用の太めの三角鉛筆がしっかり削れます。三角鉛筆に付属されてる鉛筆削りでも削れないものがありますが、これはおすすめです。 削りカス入れ付いてない頃から愛用してます

Sharpener is fine, but it was sent outside of Amazon channels and I had to pay approx 8€ in taxes

As a former engineering student, I recognized the Staedtler name as a German company that provides high-quality products for engineers and architects. I am so fed-up with those dinky, Made-in-China, plastic pencil parers/toppers that are unable to do the job, and that snap the lead, bite the wood, and jam all the time. The plastic housing in those cheaper brands inevitably shatters within weeks of use. But not this Staedtler brand! This Staedtler pencil topper is a dream to use. It works smoothly without jamming or biting the pencil. The metal blade is strong and sharp enough to do the job it was designed for. It pares the pencils down to a very fine, clean point. The housing is tough and durable and a comfortable size to hold in the hand. It catches the pencil parings in an enclosed cup that has a lid that is secure; i.e., the lid doesn't keep popping off, like so many other toppers. And the cup is easy to empty. The topper has two holes for different-sized pencils, and the wider hole is perfect for crayons. Another feature I really like is the pop-up flap that covers the holes. This prevents particles from falling out if the topper falls over. However, the topper has a wide enough base so that it never topples over. I bought two of these toppers -- one for me and one for my daughter for her schoolwork. The only drawback to this topper is that the extra pop-up flap broke off after a few days of my daughter using it. She was able to reattach it without any problem, as the hinge part did not break. I put this down to her being rough on it, as the topper I use never broke. Moving parts are always the weakest part of anything, so damage is to be expected when children are involved. Anyway, the extra flap is not necessary to the function of the topper. If you want a pencil topper that eliminates frustration and performs perfectly for just a few dollars more, this is the topper for you. I give this product two thumbs up and endorse it with supreme confidence.

These seem to be a good quality product. I like the detail such as how the flip lid fits perfectly into the side slot. It's definitely better than the cheaper ones I've tried; and the blade stops working after a few sharpenings. The reservoir for the shavings is also a good, practical size compared to some others (not too big, not too small), and the lid is on quite securely so that I don't suddenly and annoyingly dump and spread shavings all over. The transparent plastic is also handy for monitoring how full it is. It's worth a couple more bucks for these I think.

Simple robust build does its job well
