Maped Clean Two Hole Pencil Sharpener (Assorted Colours)

This is a great little sharpener. I've not had any issues with it popping open unexpectedly which has been an issue with other sharpeners I have used in the past (I carry it in my purse with my portable adult colouring supplies). It sharpens all brands of pencils very well, even my Staedtler Ergosofts that are triangular in shape...I've had issues finding a small sharpener that they will actually fit into that also sharpens them to a suitable point, and this definitely fits the bill. The only thing that would have made this better would have been the opportunity to choose the colour I received, but that is a very minor thing that doesn't affect the function of the sharpener at all, so I feel it would be silly to deduct a star from my rating for that reason. If you're searching for a small, portable sharpener that won't pop open in your bag and works incredibly well with a variety of pencil shapes and sizes, I would recommend the purchase of this wholeheartedly.

Not entirely sure of the benefits of the 'trap door' but this works well. It's a twin sharpener inside for different shaped pencils.

Dinky sharpener - useful for occasional use on my desk (don't use pencils that much). The spring loaded enclosure means I am confident enough to sling it in my bag and take it with me when I go out - don't fear it spilling shavings on everything.

Maped Clean Sharpener, 2-Hole Pencil Sharpener, works well for all sizes of pencils, it is small and light for children to use

Will always buy this sharper. Good quality and performance excellence.

Yeah its good. But advertised in a blister pack so I expected to receive it in a blister pack not freely roaming about within the jiffy bag That's why Only and "it's ok!" Am I being picky? Yep probably, but if you advertise an item in a certain state then I would hope to receive it in that same state not relinquished of its house. Maybe an idea to allow choice of colours as well instead of winging it?

Love it great sharpener

Clean sharpening but still not a good fit for my fat pencils!

Gute Funktion.

Solide et fonctionnel, ce taille crayon est bien pensé :sa conception et son usage sont satisfaisants.

Funciona muy bien y eficaz.

These sharpeners are great. I love that the shavings stay inside and don't leave a mess in the kids backpack! I made sure to buy 2 to last through the school year!

I work in publishing, which often requires marking up manuscripts with colored pencils. Despite this necessity, the only pencil sharpeners in my office are those super-basic, open-ended ones that shower shavings all over your desk. I was getting exhausted with having to sharpen over a trashcan (and inevitably breathing in the errant shavings that still somehow found their way out), so I coughed up $3.99 and ordered one of these handy little Maped Clean Shapreners. I love that I no longer have to worry about the shavings getting into my keyboard or all over my clothes, and the sharpener does a good job of shaping up pencils without breaking the lead. Definitely a worthwhile $3!
