Bostitch Office Manual Pencil Sharpener MPS1-BLK Replacement Cutter (MPS1-K), Steel

Outstanding product makes me happy that old tech is still the best. The pencil sharpener works like a dream, never saw a pencil so sharp. Only ding and this is minor, the screws that are provided seem a bit short for a wall mount (maybe I'm just a little overzealous when sharpening) so I replaced them. Secondly the diagram on the box appears to indicate that you pull the cutter out to clean or mount. Actually, you unscrew the handle counterclockwise while holding the cutter.

I have a manual sharpener from another brand and prefer this one. It feels well made and is very sharp. It works extremely well. Mounted to my work bench in my shop. At $10 I was so impressed I bought another one to gift to my buddy for his workshop.

Thank you! What a quality sharpener. It's funny how much I love a nice sharp pencil and this does the trick. I also appreciate the wall mount, so it's right where I need it every time.

Thanks

Great sharpener and hold up to kids use.

Super sharp, perfect tip every time !! Built to last. Can be mounted in different positions.

I received this sharpener yesterday and I couldn't wait to try it out. My daughter loves drawing and painting so there were literally over 100 pencils I needed to sharpen...so I wasted no time putting it to work.My wife wanted an electric sharpener so she was a little disappointed when she realized I ordered the manual one ( I guess after 12 years of marriage, I still have some rebel left in me;) ).This sharpener works great but you do have to secure it to a shelf or table with screws(provided) to get the most out of it. I tried to use it with the mound and just holding the sharpener with my hand but it does not work well if it is not fully secured. Once I figured that out, I found a shelf in one of the working closets i didn't mind drilling three holes into and I went to work. Within 25 minutes I've had over 100 pencils sharpened. Not one time did it break the tip of a pencil. I do not know why, but this thing sharpens color pencils much better than the regular lead #2 pencils. No complaints though.I had to change the tray about 4-5 times in the process and unhooking the tray without spilling some of the pencil shavings proved quite difficult...but I am a clumsy guy so it could be me.Overall, I am happy with the product and the choice I made as far as manual vs electronic goes. There is a certain romantic touch to the manual process and I had my wife's and daughter's approval when they saw the end result...up until the point where my daughter accidentally pocked herself in the lips with one of the really sharp pencil...at which point it was decided by the female ruling majority in my family that this sharpener simply makes pencils too sharp... I just can't win...

Excellent pencil sharpener.
