In India, you can get a pencil sharpener for a few dollars per month.

And when I say "pencil sharpener", I mean someone whose sole job is to sharpen your pencil....

That's a good idea for a business. Thanks man.
 
I work in an office with a person who likes pencils, not mechanical pencils, and she wears out the $25 ones.

I used to do that, now i just go to the machine shop and use their Bench grinders 😉

I very very sharp pencil in less than 3 seconds.
 
There are tons of better solutions for me personally.
However, I need to find an electric oen for the lady in the office.
I got her a $25 one, and she wore it out.
Fire her, get a pocket knife, outsource it to Infdia, etc, hile funny, are realistic solutions.
 
wtf is she doing with the pencils??
is she just sitting there scribbling with them to wear the points down so she can sharpen them again or what? how many pencils does she go through in a day?

It has to be electric.

Why? Seems like only one person is really using it, and she can't keep herself from breaking them. They're probably breaking due to user error, i.e. jamming the pencil in so hard the motor has to work twice as hard.

I'm not sure how much advice you're going to be able to get on the quality of electric pencil sharpeners, honestly. I don't think any of us have experience with enough of them to give you anything more than anecdotal evidence, which is pretty much useless. An electric pencil sharpener is a pretty simple device, I doubt you'll find much difference between a cheap one and an expensive one.

Edit: I have no personal experience with this one, but it sounds like they at least tried to retard-proof it.
