Why? Is it so hard to turn a goddamned crank?

I want one that is electric.

Attach a 1/2" Milwakee drill onto one of those crank ones. If someone does something stupid thier pencil will stab them to death as it's shot out like a bullet.

ive had the same electric pencil sharpener for the past 10 years.. its old school but works well

WTF why would you pay so much for a pencil sharpener? This beast cost me less than a buck and sharpens pencils in 3 seconds!

I don't like pencils.
I could not like them any less without a DSM IV diagnosis.
I don't use pencils.
The lady at the office wants an electric pencil sharpener, and if it makes her happy - under $500 is cheap.

In this case, I think it's a PEBPAS (Probelm Exists Before Pencil And Sharpener). WTF is she doing, trying to sharpen a Carpenter's pencil in there or one of those Primer pencils used in Kindergarden? I've had the same WalMart-special electric sharpener since they opened in my city about twelve (?) years ago.

Is she using it as a personal pleaure device or something? Sitting on it while she sharpens pencils? Seriously, how much pencil sharpening can one person do?!! If it's one person buy her a manual one and tell her to STFU until she learns how to use it without breaking it.

I saw a bunch at staples but the Panasonic $25 one I got link seems to work fine so far (very light usage). There were some more expensive ones with circuit protection and warranties for $50 or so like this one

Most expensive staples -- $120 one


If you are determiend not to spend $100, you can buy the $50 one with a warranty and swap it out a few times perhaps?

Yeah? Well, tell you what...send me that $500, and I will personally buy an electric pencil sharpener, fly to your office, install it, and sharpen her first 10 pencils for her. I'm willing to do this, because that leaves a lot of money left over.

There's no reason to spend ten times what normal people do on a pencil sharpener. Do you buy $50 garbage bags?

 

[Mark R]

People pay more than $0.49 for a pencil sharpener?

Shens, I tell you!

That's for an extra cutter only, the sharpener is $150. Yikes

 

[Phlargo]

That's a serious writer - goes through pencil sharpeners? I've had the same one at home for nearly 10 years.. I think my mom snaked it from her company about... well.. 10 years ago ;-)

100 bucks?!

I'd never spend 100$ on a pencil sharpener.. lol

pens FTW!

Edit: Read the thread.

There are some good ones posted in this thread, it seems. Pick the one you think is the highest quality if money is no object.
