World's BEST pencil sharpener... For 3.49

[kctyphoon]

Lol. It comes free in a pack of made in USA pencils at Home Depot. Sharpener made in China.. I might buy this just to play with it at home.. lol

 

[Super Mech]

Do you chuck that into a drill?

Slide it right into your impact.

 

[stercorarius]

Yesssss. Used to do the reverse and chuck pencil into drill. Almost curious enough to buy one and see how they work on silver pencils for metal.

That's pretty damn cool. Yes I do intend to own one.

 

[hard12catch33]

Nice! Might have to stop into my local HD to see if they have any!

 

[kctyphoon]

You have to buy the pencil kit.. they don't sell it separately.. for $3.50 I couldn't say no.. gonna play with it later. The Carpenter's pencil kit comes with a sharpener too, but not one with the hex adapter.. you have to twist it by hand like a sucker... Lol

I've had one of those for about a year now, cant remember where I got it. Works great, you just have to be careful. Takes about 3 seconds in an impact to sharpen a brand new pencil.

 

[bert1913]

i chuck my pencils into a cordless drill and use a regular pencil sharpener

 

[kctyphoon]

Ok. So on speed 2 - my m18 fuel impact driver can eat a whole pencil in about 4 seconds. On speed 3 I'm shooting shavings in about a 3' radius around me.

I probably just sold about 20 of these with that statement..

My pencil sharpener looks like a pocket knife! Works on round or square pencils.

no neat sig line

I'm too damn lazy for that. I use an ELECTRIC Panasonic pencil sharpener. You expect me to chuck something into an impact driver or crank on a handle. I didn't go to college to do manual labor.

 

[PelicanPines]

Someone should get that... chuck it in a lathe... you know the rest...

You can reduce the entire pack of pencils to shavings in less than 60 seconds at 4000 RPM.

Best is using the wood lathe

 

[NUTTSGT]

I bought one about 18 months ago. Yeah, watch what you are doing or you better reach for another pencil.

 

[CallumRD1]

I really want one of these... so I'll have to swing by HD tonight.

 

[DerekV]

These things work awesome, been using them for awhile now.

Kinda like using a 50 ton hydraulic press to crush soda cans

 

[SuperCat]

You guys chuck a pencil sharpener in an impact? Sounds like an episode of Home Improvement - I need more power! LOL.

 

[nafterclifen]

I've had the kit for a few years. But have never put the sharpener in a drill. I just hold it my hand over the garbage can and turn the pencil manually.

IIRC those electric pannys originally sold for $200. They are sweet and work great. I bought a used one back in the day and still have it.

Here are some older pencil sharpener threads for anyone interested in vintage ones:

My pencil sharpener is mounted to a post. I just put the pencil in, turn the crank by hand, and have total control to get a good point without wasting half a pencil. Oh, and it works when the power is out and the impact battery is dead. I don't have to look for it when I need it because it's always on the post. And it's still working after 30 years.

I understand why all of you guys need a "powered" sharpener though. Yessiree, I really work up a sweat cranking that little handle by hand . . .

Ha, perfect, I actually just added pencils to my shopping list. These will fit the bill perfectly!

I got to have one, now.

Gotta give it to the marketing wizard that came up with that, include an item in the package that will double your pencil sales.

I wish they were made of aluminum though, mine broke.

 

[HighPlainsWrencher]

One is for using and the other 14 are to see if you can fill your coworkers coffee cup up with shaving from across the room.

I'm going tomorow morning first thing after dropping kids at school

 

[mbshop]

I prefer the cheap ones that are capped so the cap catches the shavings, no carp all over the place.

 

[cheechi]

Apparently they are called 'Prosharp'

 

[80mirada]

I used to put one of those on my Snap-on ratcheting screwdriver, or a short bit driver.

 

[kkroger]

The Sharpener works but the pencils ****.

 

[Matt Matt]

This is my pencil sharpener it’s not really portable LOL, but it gets the job done quick! It was made in England sum years ago. But it’s also good for a few other things.

 

[highpriest]

I personally like my pencil sharpener’s vintage and of course three phase . And of course 3phase Sharpeners don’t exist I had to make one

 

[Tinner]

This is my favorite pencil sharpener, I have several.

And people will do it too. Then scarf pencils in 4 seconds. Pretty bad when Americans are too lazy to turn a sharpener by hand. I'm shaking my head now!

Chinese ****.......... Next time buy American!

This reminds me of an old bumper sticker put out by automotive unions.
