A Pencil sharpener, Sorry I could not think of a more exotic exciting product to write about really .
Staedtler is an old German company over 150 years old. They make good products including this pencil sharpener

Just recently I needed to sharpen quite a lot of pencils and coloured pencils I used a Staedtler Noris Club Double Hole Sharpener this inspired me to write this review


This double holed pencil sharpener is a blue tub pencil sharpener. That has 2 different sized sharpeners embedded in its lid .
The lid with the 2 metal pencil sharpeners inserted has a safety lock this avoids accidental opening and spilling the contents everywhere. There is a small clear plastic cover across the top of the holes on the top of the sharpener this cover is hinged it prevents shavings from spilling.
So this is a much less messy pencil sharpener to use. . Two ends of the lid are curved but the other two straight this is easier to grip when using the sharpener.

This double holes sharpener is useful if you have different sized pencils
This sharpener will sharpen standard size pencils 8.2mm and thicker pencils up to10.2mm. The blades of the sharpener sharpen the pencil at a 30degree angle.

So choose the right sized hole for your pencil insert the pencil and sharpen away. The sharpening's fall into the see through plastic tub fixed to the sharpening lid. The plastic tub also has 2 curved ends and 2c straight ones for easier grip.
The tub is big enough that you can sharpen several pencils before you need to empty it. To open the lid grip and press the side of the tub I think it actually says press on it, this makes it easier to pull the top off.

This is a much cleaner way to sharpen pencils my fingers do not get lead colours on them and it is so much easier to just empty the pot than to keep sharpening on a piece of paper or over the bin .

This is quite a durable sharpener should last several years. Would I recommend ? yes

So how much does this pencil sharpener cost ? Well its £3.00 from Amazon.

Summary: A dual holed tub pencil sharpener
