1.0 out of 5 stars PIECE OF JUNK, September 22, 2008

This review is from: X-Acto 1041 Model l table- or wall-mount pencil sharpener, chrome receptacle, black base, 1 Unit (Office Product)

I am a teacher in a high school, and we have these pencil sharpeners in our classrooms. The X-Acto model L is literally a piece of garbage - you could sit there and sharpen for 2 minutes straight and still won't have a useable point for your pencil. A kitchen knife would be easier to use to sharpen a pencil than this piece of worthless metal. Awful pencil sharpener.

The sharpener itself is fine, but the screws are total junk. Two of the three screws broke while screwing them into the wood, they are just not made with very good metal. My advice is to use a set of good screws you have laying around the house just to be safe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional pencil sharpener, December 12, 2011

I am a counselor and test coordinator in a high school and have used this pencil sharpener for the past two years. A colleague at a neighboring school recommended it to me as the best he had ever used. Although they insist it is not true, I believe my fellow counselors secretly covet this sharpener and probably wish they weren't stuck using a noisy, energy wasting electric sharpener. My X-ACTO L has performed admirably, having sharpened hundreds of pencils and I highly recommend it.
