Pen+Gear 2-Hole, Handheld Manual Pencil Sharpener, Black, 1 Count

After decades of using this kind of sharpener, I had the bad idea of buying an expensive electric sharpener for "convenience.' It sharpened 8 pencils and went out. I will stick to these that work. Never had one that failed-lasts years.

This is an amazing value. School supplies are subject to increasing prices as everything else. This hand held, manual pencil sharpener has a 2 hole design to accommodate the standard and jumbo sized pencils. A clear body enables you to know when to empty the shavings. It's compact size fits easily in pencil cases. I'm filling backpacks with school supplies for donations. Don't pass these up.. WORTH NOTING, I was able to fill all 8 (Wonder Nation backpacks $4.97) with all these supplies (Pen Gear brand) ordered online (I think it is less $$$ than buying in-store) for $110.00, that's under $14.00 a piece including the backpacks! I did divide the pencils, pens, glue sticks, highlighters and erasers up between the 8. A lot of items were under $1.00, and some 50 cents or below!! Okay, all the hard work has been done for you, now GET SHOPPING!!!
