Generals Little Red All-Art 1-Hole Pencil Sharpeners, Red, Pack of 18

I keep a supply of these on hand to sharpen pastel pencils. They are the only sharpeners that really work for sharpening pastel pencils. I use them in conjunction with a 50 year old automatic sharpener. None of these fancy new ones do anything but chew them up. I highly recommend these little guys.

These are the most amazing pencil sharpeners. I keep a number of these in my classroom. Sharp colored pencils are essential when making scientific diagrams, models, and graphs. These sharpeners return colored pencils to their "factory new" pencil points. They do not "eat up" pencils, resulting in longer lasting pencils, and less money spent by this teacher on new colored pencils.

Truthfully I have had the best luck with these sharpeners. They stay sharp much longer than many of the others that I have tried of the little hand held sharpeners. I am really impressed with them.

The order was for a package of 18. I received 3. Not worth the money.
