Whether you're an artist, writer, drafter,
office professional, or teacher, if you are looking for a great pencil
sharpener, office supply titan Dahle has a great product for you. It's
their Professional Pencil Sharpener (model #155). This is a tool that
has the ability to sharpen many different kinds of pencils and it can
be easily mounted. Since this is a Dahle product, it is made from
first-rate materials and it has a terrific warranty, even though it
does have a couple of drawbacks. This review will talk about the pros
and cons of this Dahle pencil sharpener.
The Pros:
This product's blades are made
from one of the best metals available: high-quality Solingen steel from
Germany, Dahle's homeland. This ensures that your sharpener will be
able to provide you with years of use. It is unlikely the blades will
get dull, but if they do, they can be replaced.
Each unit
has an automatic cutting system that will provide you with the point
you need for your pencil. This system prevents the over-sharpening of
your writing utensils (which will help make your pencil last longer)
and it also allows you to choose between a either a blunt tip or a
sharp one. To choose the sharpness of your pencil, all you need to do
is turn a dial to make your selection.
No matter what kind
of pencil you're using, this product can sharpen it. This includes
graphite pencils no matter how hard or soft, as well as colored and
oversized pencils.
This product's blades and shavings cup
are both easy to clean. Regular cleaning and emptying of the shavings
cup will allow you to enjoy having a new-looking product, while
cleaning the blades will keep dust and wax-like substances from
building up.
You can mount this pencil sharpener on just
about any surface and a clamp has been included for that purpose. You
don't need to mount it, however, especially if you want the option of
being able to transport your sharpener.
Dahle offers a lifetime warranty on this product.
The Cons:
Although you can technically
treat this gadget as a portable pencil sharpener, you may find that the
unit's bulkiness makes this difficult. This is a square, boxy product
that obviously can't be slipped into a pencil case. However, you may
find room for it in a backpack or briefcase.
This one of the
more pricey sharpeners on the market and is priced at $29.95. If you
just need a basic unit for everyday use, Dahle's Chubby sharpener would
probably be a more cost-effective choice, as it will only set you back
$3.95. (Plus that unit is more portable.)
This is a manual sharpener and Dahle hasn't yet manufactured an electric version of this product.
The Dahle Professional Pencil Sharper is a great choice for schools,
offices, and other organizations or individuals who need such a tool.
Although the price may seem a bit high, this product has a lot of
features that justify the cost such as the automatic cutting system and
the lifetime warranty. If you have the money, this product would be a
wonderful selection.
