How can I keep from breaking the lead while sharpening?

- Asked by Charles on 23-Dec-12

Answer

Keep the lead inside of the lead holder and let out only about 1/8 in. - 3/8 in. lead. Then stick the lead pointer lead-first into the rotary sharpener, and gently rotate.

I have an older model of this sharpener and this new one great. The action is VERY smooth. Highly recommended.

If you use a lead holder (not a automatic pencil) this is the only lead sharpener that works well. I had the Alvin tub sharpener, and there is no comparison. All other tub sharpeners are lead breakers. This one sharpens. The moment you hold it, its quality is immediately evident. I use the Staedtler Lead Holder 2mm, and this sharpener is the perfect compliment.

The Berol Mars Lead Pointer Tub is a great sharpener. I recently took it with me to Hawaii. I passed security with it as there are no blades in the sharpener and used it on the 5 hour flight both directions.

Love this- perfect every time. I had never used one of these before... so, it took me a little while to figure out.

This rotary sharpener is not only good for Architects & Engineers--it good for students for a cleaner crisp point.

Rated by: Diana G. in Hagerstown, MD

A good graphite shapener at a good price.

Rated by: William P. in Murrieta, CA

this sharpener has worked perfectly for me every time I have used it. Very handy and small, essential if you use leads that slip into a 2mm Lead Holder.

Rated by: James M. in Wilmington , DE

Nice little sharpener. I use the 2mm pencils for drawing. The size makes this easy to take with you for field work

Rated by: Aaron N. in Wellington, KS

Fantastic pointer! Sharpens perfect every time. It takes a little patience to sharpen blue leds, though.

Rated by: Raj G. in Houston, TX

This is an excellent lead pointer for a simple hobbyist like myself. My main complaint is that I've had the lead break twice while inserting it in the pointer, but that's probably due to my inexperience rather than due to an inherent design flaw. A+

Rated by: Mike L. in Aurora, CO

The perfect pointer--have used the electrics and never was happy with the point or the idea that my leads were being "swallowed". I now have total control--couldn't be more pleased.
