These are all-metal sharpeners, so they've got the ruggedness to survive being tossed around in a plastic bag during shipment, which is how mine arrived. That aside, the sharpened pencils look like something you would see in an advertisement- nigh on perfect. The angle the pencil is oriented when sharpening focuses the blade on the top half inch so it wont eat the entire pencil like cheaper products.

The blades are held on by a small screw, so if they ever get dull, they're easy to replace. I normally don't get excited about office products, but I finally have a pencil sharpener that is worth keeping. If I lost these, I would definitely buy them again

That's why I bothered to search them out and pay for shipping. When you have kids and they have homework to do with pencils and need to sharpen them every day, these sharpeners actually work, they don't break the pencil points off ever. I used to think it was poor quality pencils. I'd say throw out all the old sharpeners, don't buy the cheap ones, these are the only ones you'll ever want and need.

I purchased a pack of these about eight or nine years ago, lost two of them and still have two. Even after almost a decade of use, the remaining two are still sharp and efficient.

Pros:

Shave off a smaller amount of wood than a normal sharpener, extending the life of your pencil. If you do a LOT of homework, it's a plus.

Small and portable.

Won't go out if the power does (maybe a minor issue, but still...)

Very long lasting.

Cheap and durable.

Cons:

Easy to lose?

In summary, if you need a pencil sharpener for school or work, do yourself a favor and save some money from the electric ones, buy a pack of these. You won't be disappointed.
