Hey guys!!

So I got this cool pencil sharpener to use and review! I've been using it and here's my thoughts on it!


Meet the Classroom Friendly Supplies pencil sharpener! It comes to you in a clear box so you can see the pretty color that you chose. There are several colors to choose from so you can get one that makes you smile. I chose pink (of course!)!

Here's what you get once its out of the box. The sharpener nicely protected by a plastic covering and the clamp to secure it to a table. 

The company logo is on a sticker, stuck to the top. It can easily be removed but I'm choosing to leave it there because, not that I would ever forget where I got something so awesome, but just in case. ;) hehe!

 Here's how it works! So super simple! Start with an unsharpened or need to be sharpened pencil. Since its a Monday that I started writing this post, I chose my Monday pencil!

The big shiny silver faceplate pulls out. Pull it out till it clicks in place and stays out. 

Inserting the pencil is easy! Just squeeze the two black boxes together to open the "jaws" that hold it in place and thread the pencil through the hole and into the second hold you see in the body of the sharpener.

Now for the fun part! Sharpening!! As great as battery powered sharpeners are, theres something special about man powered ones. Its just more satisfying...in my opinion! Crank away at a steady pace. As you sharpen the pencil the shiny face plate will pull the pencil into the blades so you don't have to push it in. It does the work for you! How fun! You'll know your pencil is done when the cranking suddenly gets really easy (and the faceplate is back in place on the body).

Like this. Now its ready to be removed! Removing is the same as inserting. Just squeeze the two black squares together and pull the pencil out!

TaDa!! A perfectly sharpened pencil!! 

If you have a location for your sharpener and you don't want it to get bumped off, it comes with a  handy clamp! Here's how it works! This is the clamp.

Theres a hole at the bottom on the front of the body. Insert the top part of the upside down L.

Now tighten the screw so the black plastic bumper is snug against the underside of the table/desk.

And there you go! All secure to the table/desk! No wiggle!

Overall, I am very impressed with this sharpener! The girls and I have sharpened every pencil in the house, its so fun! The parts seem very sturdy and will last a long time. The grip on the hand crank is large and long enough to get a good grip on to make it work. If you ever have a problem with the actual sharpening part, the black ring at the top of the handle where it attaches to the body unscrews to allow access to the blades. And of course, its fun to see all the shavings in the clear bin on the bottom (that easily slides in and out)! 

I'm convinced this is one of the best desk sharpeners out there! Want to know even more?? Check out the pencil sharpeners from Classroom Friendly Supplies!! 

Happy Sharpening!!!
