Kum 303.58.21 Plastic Lead Pointer Pencil Sharpener, 1 Assorted

A must have works well

Obscenely overpriced. The photo show s four, and the text is highly deceptive. the seller ships one. You shouldn't have to read the fine print when you're buying a cheap plastic sharpener half the size of your pinky. Also, what does "Dynamic torsion action built into each blade" mean? The blade is attached rigidly, so there is no torsion involved, and what is dynamic about it since it doesn't move?

You'd think there is nothing to say about these, but blow fifty bucks on alternatives, and you see the differences. The only "con" is the lack of color choice, but real men are fine with pink. Right? If anyone wants a pink one, let me know. Anyway, aside from the color, this is thin, very light, sharpens the lead perfectly, and the dust is manageable (graphite goes all over with any and all of these sharpeners, for best results, sharpen over a Kleenex or a trashcan or go ahead and be stubborn and have grimy fingers like mine). I had several dozen 2.0mm leadholders before I started thinking about ways to sharpen the leads, and this is the best one on Amazon, possibly in the world. They seem expensive considering their components and tiny size, but the competition is as bad or worse, and sharpens less well and usually get more pulverized graphite everywhere. Five stars, repeat buyer.

This is exactly what i was looking for! I have severe anxiety and coloring helps keep it under control. I've grown quite a collection of coloring supplies and it's become a great hobby. Anyway I needed a sharpener for the twist up colored pencils. I like a sharp point for the more detailed areas and this little guy does the trick and then some. Perfect point each time and very little breakage.The only cons I've found so far are that for the price it's very tiny. It also doesn't hold the shavings so always have a trash can to hold it over. Otherwise great addition to my never ending collection.The first picture is a comparison with the my go to sharpener before. Te other 2 I tried to show the detail and size.

It is probably my fault, but the picture of the sharpener showed 4 of them so I ordered expecting to receive 4 sharpeners for a reasonable price. I received ONE which made it expensive indeed.It is sharpening the mechanical pencils fine so far and it has a hole in it to which I can tie to a ribbon because they are very tiny and easy to lose. That was why I chose these sharpeners and why I have given it 3 stars.If you read the text carefully you will see the number "1" however pictures on Amazon usually depict the number of objects you will receive, so my reasonable. assumption is that I would get more than one. I feel slightly cheated. But I do advise buying the ones with holes to help keep track of them.

Everything that a pencil sharpener should be!

I had a small lead pointer like this years ago that was a free 'hand-out' from some company. It worked wonderfully and I loved it. When I saw these little gems I jumped at the chance to get one. I was, however, shocked at the price.It arrived quickly and looked exactly as pictured. I put a point on a 2H lead and the result was not as I had hoped; it was blunt. I thought I was using it incorrectly so tried every way I could think of to get a nice point on the lead. I have yet to accomplish getting a sharp point on any lead; they are all blunt! Not acceptable.I examined the razor and feel it is quite sharp and more than enough to put a good point on any lead. I am going to try to loosen the razor and angle it differently. This may prove fruitless but I'm going to try. Stay tuned.

Buyer beware! Do not be devoted by the photo.it shows 4 sharpeners, but only 1 is actually supplied. This makes the the one sharpener nearly 4x the cost of competitor items.BUYER BEWARE!
