STAEDTLER 512 001BK1 Double-Hole tub Sharpener

I don't always ;eave a review but this is so easy to use and I love it! I know I should get a life to be excited with a pencil sharpener!! Recommend highly.

I believe this is the only pencil sharpener anyone could want, truly excellent.

Excellent sharpener :)

Sharpener sharpens, does it's job.

Chosen for trusted name and for both size graphite sharpeners with bin for shavings. Sharpens well but has barcode label wedded to side which resists peeling off. Lazy production processes spoil and cheapen the end product.

Where’s the tub? Bought from Five Boys so be warned. Have to pay return postage so not worth the aggro. As a sharpener it’s ok but it’s not what is advertised.

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.

I love it. Good quality

Der Staedtler Spitzer ist echt super. Das Spitzergehäuse und der Spitzereinsatz ist stabil und hochwertig verarbeitet – kein Vergleich zu den billigen Plastikspitzern, die schnell kaputtgehen. Die zwei unterschiedlich großen Öffnungen sind super praktisch: Egal ob normale Bleistifte oder dickere Buntstifte – fast alles lässt sich sauber und mühelos spitzen (unsere dicken Jumbo Stifte, dreieckige Form, waren für den Spitzer zu groß). Die Klingen sind scharf und liefern einen gleichmäßigen, glatten Schnitt ohne das Holz zu splittern. Kompakt, langlebig und zuverlässig. Klare Empfehlung für Schule, Büro oder kreatives Arbeiten zu Hause!

Me gusta se siente de muy buena calidad y cumple con su función bastante bien. No deja los lápices rotos de la punta. Aunque lo agarre con el precio habitual, se puede conseguir por menor precio si te esperas y lo revisas constantemente.
