The self feeding feature is great in that it ensures a fine point both on Graphite and charcoal pencils.. However I have not had success with sharpening a couple of brands of charcoal pencil which appear to be 8mm, perhaps they are slightly over 8mm?

I purchased this to help home schooling. It’s really good for skinny pencils and delivers a very sharp point in no time. It doesn’t fit typical primary school grey leads or colouring pencils. The auto feed is a novel idea, but it doesn’t stop. So it’s very quick for kids to turn pencils into tiny stubs. The bench clamp doesn’t really work either, but you can hold it down with your hand.

Very good quality sharpener, Excellent value for money, I have not broken one single lead in it yet. The sharpest pencils I've ever seen. Easily dismantles for quick cleaning. It does mount to the desk but i still hold the body of it to keep it stable. I think it is that good I brought a second sharpener to give to my daughter.

Easy to use and a perfect point every time with no breakages. I have just sharpened 150 Polychromos, 150 Prismacolor Premiers and so many others I lost count. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for perfect pencil points.

Sharpener works well. But does clog up easily with wax based artist color pencil and needs to be cleaned regularly and soft core pencils tend to break more easily, otherwise works well to get a sharp point. Better for graphite and student/adult color pencils. Be better if it was made in the UK to match the high standard of their pencils, instead of being made in China.

It really does sharpen pastel pencils to a fine point, which is much easier than using a knife. So this has saved me a lot of time. One thing is the difficulty of putting the barrel back in after taking it out to clean. It does take quite a bit of 'jiggling' to get it back in place.

I purchased this as a replacement to my Derwent Super Point Mini and have zero regrets. Quality metal construction and blades that provide a quality long point with no effort. However, like the Mini, I find the included desk clamp okay at best and prefer not to have mine clamped, requiring me to hold the top of the sharpener as I turn the handle to sharpen the pencil. (Photos of point produced compared to a standard metal sharpener you'd find at Big W, etc).

This is a well-made sharpener that has a good sharpening angle to provide a fine point. It works well and it stops removing material when the tip is sharp.

I’ve only been using it for 2 weeks now and can honestly say it has made sharpening my pastel pencils so easy. If your looking for a sharp point on your pencils without breakage then this is the sharpener for you.
