Our experiences:
- This handy device is safe and can be really very simple (whether of adults or hands eg one of which fifth year.) Operate and sets off immediately eager once you put the pin in the opening. That the best way holding the pen quite far below what pressure you have to exercise it and how long the device for what level of previous "blunting" needs, you get out a few experiments. Extra advantage: It really comes in spikes usually with a hand!
- Reliability, speed and end result is convincing. But As with the mechanical sharpeners also here: You notice very quality pens used - "pluck" "Losbudengewinne" and discounters goods significantly and the foremost tip breaks more easily here. With our favorite pens from pencil-Count stone in the district Fürth everything works 1a!
- Emptying / disassembly / processing: Again, we can only positive reports. The sharpener can be opened easily and close; breaking even a bigger piece from mine, so it can also be very easy to take apart in order to easily remove the obstruction with z. B. a letter opener can. A change of the blade should be possible without any problems (was we did not try). After a few weeks use no weak points are still recognizable - the quality seems to be true.
- Criticisms:
Although I am not a "flagship eco", I have already asked the question of whether you really need this Spitzer, who is to be equipped with 4 batteries. In my opinion this can not many people affirm seriously, because the speed and convenience that will record this device certainly, probably seriously affect only professional illustrators. Much True Focus, possibly motor-impaired etc. see him but a very pleasant work means saving time and effort.
A pity, I find that one can thus pointed only allerdünnsten common pins. The -empfehlenswerten -. Wooden highlighter for example are usually slightly thicker (as well as many colored pencil model, especially for small children) - this is required then continue an additional usual manual sharpener. And there really are tens latter in sizes and designs in good quality for little money, this raises again the question of the value of purchase of this device ....
Since everything is working very well and is meticulously crafted, the Westcott sharpener receives from us 4 stars. Would he also can take the slightly thicker pins, so he would get. 5
For those who need it, this sharpener is quite recommendable, because it's very fast, convenient -and even "single-handed" with him - can bring his tools back into optimum condition.
