Swordfish ‘The Triple’ Three Hole Pencil Sharpener with Mess-Free Canister [Pack of 1] 8-16 mm [40228s], Purple

I initially bought this to sharpen my daughter's Jumbo Crayola coloured pencils which were too thick for a regular sized sharpener. Once it arrived I found that the pencils fit comfortably into the medium sized hole and sharpened without any difficulty despite their hexagonal shape.As an added bonus I also found that the largest hole was big enough to sharpen our chunky Crayola crayons.I have now tried a wide variety of different pencils/crayons in this sharpener and all seem to sharpen smoothly and easily without having to use too much force.It is perfect for use on the go with a pot for the sharpenings to fall into and a hinged lid to cover the top, these both shut tightly and firmly so there should be no worry of the contents spilling out. Perfect to go into pencil cases.Overall a great quality sharpener, seems to be very good value for the price.

A great 3 size sharpener.It has a clip close lid and is labelled with a size guide as "Jumbo/Color/Graphite"There is a container to collect the shaving into and once you pull the sharpener away the waste can be tipped into a bin.All 3 sharpeners are super sharp and make quick work of getting a nice sharp point back onto our pencils.A great item and will buy again once the blades get blunt, which hopefully won't be for a long time.

It's a pencil sharpener. It worked perfectly. The grandkids lost it but it was great while we had it.:)

This is a great sharpener and does everything you expect it to do and very quickly unlike some i've used before. It is a good size too so you can sharpen a lot of pencils before it needs emptying. I think it would be great for anyone who uses a wide range of pencil sizes as the sharpener has 3 different size holes. I would use it for sharpening my make up pencils as the ones specifically designed for them never seem to fit in the big hole (probably just me lol). The only thing i'm not sure of is how easily the top might come off in a pocket or bag when transporting it so bear that in mind i'm sure it would be ok though. All in all a good product for a good price

Very useful and good design.

I use this sharpener for sharpening my makeup pencils.The handy holder means I don't need to remain over the bin which makes it more convenient for me. Especially when I am in a rush. The container holds quite a lot of waste and as it is Perspex you can clearly see when you need to empty.The fact that this boasts 3 different sized holes means that I have a tool which is versatile and can sharpen the jumbo pencils and the smaller eyeliner pencils.This sharpens well and has so far lasted a number of months without feeling blunt.The colour is a vibrant purple which is true to the picture featured.As this is not too large it can easily fit with the rest of my make up so I have this to hand whenever I quickly need to sharpen my eyeliners, lip liners and other make up pencils.

Great value, second one I’ve bought, last one lasted about 3 years which is great for the price. 3 size options when sharpening - catches the ‘sharpenings’ so I don’t make a mess or keep having to go to a bin.

Surprisingly sharp...easy to sharpen makeup pencils and small enough to keep with makeup.
