Pencil sharpeners
By Sam5

Clip to ScrapBook   
I actually had better luck with the $5 exacto hand crank suction cup sharpeners that Walmart sells than any electric sharpeners. The pencils sharpen well. They are very quiet, and mine lasted from October to the end of the year. Obviously they are cheap to replace. I didn't let the kids sharpen colored pencils into them. I had two of those and one regular hand crank sharpener that is screwed into the wall. My students (26) could all sharpen 3 pencils in the first ten minutes of class.
