2 Pieces Carpenter Long Point Manual Pencil Sharpener with Plastic Lid 4 Holes Handheld Sharpener for Sketching, Charcoal, Colored Pencils (Transparent)

Love this design, works very well and sharpens without breakage. Nice to all four lead length options in one concise place. Very quiet and easy to use.

I have bought many sharpeners. This is my favorite. It has different size holes, extra blade, and a piece of sand paper to fine sharpen. Never had it open up and spill shavings. It is a long point so keep that in mind while using.

Does the job if the pencil wood is of good quality. If not, the lead will break. My biggest complaint is that the lid comes off to easily while sharpening.

This sharpener impressed me. It really makes those long sharpened pencil that you see the professional artist use. You don't need to possibly hurt yourself by scraping them with a blade to get the long sharp point. This sharpener has four different sized holes to take your pencil from average to professional in seconds. Its easy to use and a great value for the price.

I used it following the video on How to use the product. Do that as it is clear from some comments that people didn't catch it and didn't understand how to use it correctly. Start with the largest whole and sharpen your pencil down through ALL the openings. The smallest one, After the one marked "s" is for sharpening just the lead itself. I had to go back & forth btwn different openings to fine tune the sharpening, eg the medium and the small, the small and the tiny opening. The sand paper inside is for the lead itself, for cleaning up just the lead itself up to a sharper point. Gave it a 4 (3.5) star rating for the following reasons: There are other long point sharpeners I have used before that I found better. It will likely work a little bit better on smaller sized graphite leads. It worked well enough on the polychromos color pencil with an overall thicker lead dimension (~4mm versus ~2mm for graphite drawing pencils). If you look closely at the tip in the photo you will see the 'edging' created by the sharpener because the lead is 4mm. That can be taken care of with the sand paper. You can also see on the 3 pic the tip fo the graphite pencils are actually blunt, so again, you'll need to use the sandpaper to finish that off. The middle pencil also has some of the wood casing left on it. That came off easily enough with my fingernail and may be happening because these were previously sharpened the 'traditional artist way' with a pen knife. Works well enough for now. And there is a spare blade taped to the inside of the case.

This is a great pencil sharpener but you have to read the instructions to use it correctly; a lot of the other reviews complain about it not creating a clean edge, but you have to use the tiniest blade to sharpen the lead after removing the wooden casing from the point of the pencil. I have no idea why I'm being asked to review its "Suction power," something tells me the AI that created this form is going a little goofy...

Love this sharpener. Great for drawing/sketching. Gives you a long exposed pencil lead.

Price was a little steep but you get 2. They are very nice. The holes are labeled A, S, M and L. I use the smallest hole (A) whenever I need to sharpen my 5.6 leads and it is perfect for that. M fits regular pencils. L is NOT large enough for children's primary pencils. It has a label on the side that is some kind of table but it's all in Chinese, I think. It comes with a spare blade taped to the inside, out of the way. I haven't played with it to sharpen pencils to create long points. That's next. So far, I'm happy with the quality and sturdiness. Update: I did try sharpening a brand new regular pencil to create a long point. It fit in the hole labeled "S" and it created a very long point, but not a sharp one, as other reviewers have mentioned. I did notice, however, that it has a rectangular piece of sandpaper glued inside, right behind the label. and that can be used to create the sharp point if you want. For me, still 5 stars.
