What Are Pencil Sharpeners?
A pencil sharpener can be steel wall-mounted or tabletop crank-handled, or electric, featuring auto-shut and overheat protection. Their main purpose is to sharpen pencils, manually or electronically, and reduce lead breakage.
They typically contain a drawer to collect shavings so they don’t spill out everywhere. Pencil sharpeners are traditionally purchased alongside other teaching and school supplies.
How Can A Desktop Pencil Sharpener Be Used?
When you're sketching something with drawing & coloring pencils, you don't want to have to stop just because the points are dull and there's no sharpener. Keeping desktop pencil sharpeners next to art supplies is a practical way to always be ready to work on projects. Some sharpeners have variably sized holes designed to hone charcoal and graphite pencils, while others are designed for crayons.
Office pencil sharpeners are great for employees filling out paperwork that need to keep their pencil tips sharp. Small pencil sharpeners, with or without screw-on lids, should be kept on hand for individual needs. They also make nice party favors and are an excellent addition to class reward chests.
