This sharpener is.... A-MA-ZING! And when I say amazing, I mean Amazing with a capital A. I mean, there can't be such a sharpener. At least not the ones I've tried. This one sharpens everything. It doesn't back down from anything, that rascal. I've even sharpened charcoal pencils with it. It sharpens them without any problem at all. You just have to select the 4 or 5 setting on it. But I'm telling you, this sharpener is unmatched. I've tried it, here are the photos as proof. Colored pencils... Sharpens! Pencils... Anyway, even the most useless ones. Colored pencils... Easily! This sharpener doesn't back down, seriously. 5 stars from me; if there were another 50, I would give all 50! Very good sharpener. It sharpens whatever size you want. It even sharpens 12 millimeter pencils. I'm blown away! I highly recommend it. It's worth every penny... BY A LONG SHOT! Buy it, and you won't regret it at all. Just be careful if you get a defective one. That's all! Other than that, it's an incredible sharpener. The only maybe negative is that it's a bit on the larger side... But with what it does... No big deal! Incredible sharpener!
