It is an absolutely solid Spitzer for Stabilo pencils. A good product, but not exceptional. With regard to another comment in which Spitzer is portrayed as extremely dangerous: I do not understand how a young child can ever give a sharpener for thick pencils in hand - even I get in there my finger. This sharpener is therefore by no means dangerous, but heard similar out of the reach of small children as knives, forks, scissors, light. Here the parents are at best extremely dangerous.
