The best pencil sharpener! *Classroom Friendly Supplies

Ok, as you guys know, pencil sharpeners ARE A BIG DEAL for art teachers. I had blown up a few electric ones in my day. Badly sharpened pencils cause frustration and anger. Not good feelings to have in a way cool art room.

I had heard about these new hand crank ones from Classroom Friendly Supplies...I really didn't believe it when I heard the buzz, but a 4th grade teacher bought one so I got to play with it. It is awesome. (Yes, even colored pencils! See below!)

I contacted the company, Classroom Friendly Supplies, and they sent me one right away for a review. I love it. The kids love it. Easy to use, easy to clean, sharp pencils. Life is good.

The kids are super excited about this, lining up to sharpen a pencil!

Literally 20 seconds later.

"Oh yeah!"

This thingy pulls out, that was weird for me. But I got over it.

It holds the pencil perfectly straight. 

Smaller than my electric ones. This counter was too thick to mount it correctly. The table has a better hold.
