I seem to have the worst luck with pencil sharpners!

I think I sharpen a pencil every day....it drives me crazy! Any good ones out there! One that actually sharpens would help!

I really like the bolt to the wall hand crank one we got from dickblick.. we've had it a couple years now I think.. and it's still holding it's own.. and most of the kids can use it so I'm not the one sharpening pencils.. matter of fact I usually send a child to sharpen a pencil for me

Jodie...I was thinking of a hand crank. I remember the line in the classroom, waiting to use them. I remember they worked! Don't know where I would put it.

Laura...thank you for the old thread! I never thought of the quality of the pencil. That is probably my problem as well.

A hand-crank, wall or counter mount, all metal, X-Acto version, from dickblick has worked wonderfully for us! I love that it also adjusts to several pencil sizes. We also have a Boston electric and several handheld versions, but our children always seem to gravitate to the hand-crank wall version, mounted inside our library closet...which gets a LOT of traffic!
