Chrome 9506 - Metal Body Pencil Sharpener (Black)

In home using

I really like this product, it is a very good buy! The first thing that struck me was its size... It is a lot smaller than i thought, thus also lightweight... In short, not too heavy, not too light and the perfect weight to size ratio for a tabletop sharpner being made out of metal. Having owned and used multiple tabletop sharpeners like this, I can definitely recommend this to everyone! Please, whatever you do, don't buy a plastic one, they break within 2-3 years, the blades go dull and your pencil lead keeps breaking thus needing to be replaced. This metal one just costs about INR 150/- more than the cheap chinese plastic ones. So in the long run, this metal one is the best bang for your buck! The build quality feels solid, when i use it and hold it, it feels like it will last me for a very long time... This sharpener is robust and has very sharp blades. Even the small plastic piece feels very durable. This kind of a sharpner is best bought made out of a metal body from a good reputed brand such as M+R, Swordfish, Derwent etc... Now these are foreign brands (from Europe) and cost a lot of money, whereas this sharpener is a fraction of the cost at just INR 470/- But this low price of the Chrome 9506 hasn't compromised on the quality. Metal body is solid, the pinching mechanism where you insert the pencil also has a bery good feel to it, feels very durable, something that won't break easily and will last for atleast 5-6 years if used well. The collecting tray below is smaller than the ones on most sharpeners I've used, but it's not an issue for me. The provided clamp is also excellent, as shown when i fixed it to my table, it wouldn't move even slightly. It comes in a thin flexible plastic box, aling with a small user manual, packaging which I don't really like but it shipped to me without any damage to the sharpener so I'm okay with it...or else this product is returnable/replaceble with the seller! Overall, I'm impressed with this sharpener at this low a price point!

Fun to use. Works as expected. Seems pretty solid. The tip comes out very pointy which can break of used without care

I was sceptical to buy because a sharpener is worth 500 bucks? was my question that was in my mind. But now while using it to sharpen my kids pencils I feel its a complete worth for the money. It is a sharpener which is best used for art work pencils, but normal pencils also sharpened in such a way that definitely it makes changes in the way ur kid writes. U feel the writing has improved and the work done by them is tidy. from my end it is a definitely a go for object who have kids using pencils

Good product
