User questions & answers

Question:	Does this sharpener handle large crayons for preschoolers, or just regular size crayons
Answer:	No, it does not handle any other size crayon and it does not do very well with any other brand! Works fairly well with standard Crayola brand/size crayons.
Question:	Does it work on the Jumbo Crayola Crayons used with younger children
Answer:	No, it only works with the small crayons. Standard size crayons. I use crayola, they fit perfectly; and with the sharpener they last forever.
Question:	Do you have to peel the paper off the crayons
Answer:	I don't peel the paper and my sharpener works fine. You do need to hold the crayon tightly, maybe with two hands.
Question:	Does this work on any brand/type of crayon, or only-as one reviewer stated-on Crayola brand standard size crayons
Answer:	It works on any brand of standard sized crayons. However, Crayola crayons tend to be less waxy and less crumbly than off brands. Lower quality crayons may not sharpen as well.It can jamb up easily. I find that not forcing the crayon into the sharpener helps. Also making sure that the bin that catches the shavings isn't too full. I run a daycare and sharpen hundreds of crayons at a time. There is a certain finesse to getting the crayons to sharpen without breaking off in the sharpener.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have been using this brand/model electric pencil sharpener for almost two years.i have been pleased with it until now it is dull. Can it be sharpene
Answer:	Wow! The replacement cutters cost more than the pencil sharpener! Might as well buy a new one. My sharpeners went dull about 6 months after I bought it. Got a second one and same thing happened.
Question:	replacement parts: I need a new shavings receptacle. The pin broke off the back of mine and it is lost
Answer:	I stuck a chopstick in place of the pin. I shoved it in and cut it so that the receptacle can still go in all the way. And it works!
Question:	It mentions a 10 year warranty (in the chart) and a 2 year warranty (in the description). Which is it? Or is it both (motor vs parts
Answer:	This model now has a 10-year warranty. It was previously 2 years.
Question:	Does this sharpener do a good job with colored pencils
Answer:	Not all of them - higher quality colored pencils are OK, but the knock-off brands gets chewed up guickly. It has more to do with the quality of the wood in the pencils than the sharpener.

User questions & answers

Question:	Mine just arrived & is missing the rubber footing on one circle. This is a real problem & it's out of the box! How do I get this fixed
Answer:	the ink is black
Question:	My daughter has gone through several pencil sharpeners because of plastic gearing mechanisms. Are the gears plastic or metal
Answer:	I have bought both these as well as the Varsity pens. The V-pens are fine point.
Question:	Can I use this pencil sharpener for colored pencils
Answer:	They are the same pens. They might just be a different sized tip. Like a size 5 or a size 7. I have a size 5 and it writes thin.
Question:	How is the Teacher Pro different from the School Pro? They look like they are basically the same. I don't see the benefit of one over the other
Answer:	The pilot v pen appears to be exactly the same as the varsity pen. The v pen appears to be marketed in Japan, whereas the varsity is marketed in USA. The v pen is available in a fine nib or medium nib, whereas the varsity pen seems to be available only in medium. The varsity pen comes in colors, whereas I've never seen the v pen in colors. So to answer your question, if you pop off the business end of the pen and use an eyedropper, you can refill it.

User questions & answers

Question:	This is for the company: After 3 yrs, my sharpener now squeals when sharpening a pencil. Still under warranty; what can I do to get it quiet again
Answer:	I would contact the company...that is what I did when mine stopped working. Just google X-acto and go to "ask questions" on their website for ways to contact them. I had a great response with the customer service. I believe I called them first and talked to a person right away. Then I emailed my receipt to them to verify when I bought the sharpener. They were probably the easiest company that I have dealt with in a long time!
Question:	What does "This is an aftermarket of generic part" mean for this product
Answer:	Hello, I am unsure, as this looks to be directly, from the manufacturer. There is a warranty that is included with it.
Question:	i use "soft lead black pencils(2b/3b. will the leads break
Answer:	I know this is an old post, but still useful for shoppers. The leads won't break from my experience. I use this sharpener for soft and extra soft charcoal pencils, med, hard, graphite 2B - 8B, soft pastel pencils, carbon pencils, colored pencils, just everything. I even use it to point the tip on the unraveling charcoal pencils, after I unravel, of course. So far no broken leads, all perfect. They only need a couple spins, and you can easily be sure not to shorten the pencil. Even if you wait for the LED for a nice sharp point, it only shortens it by 1/8 inch. But I just put them in for a couple revolutions, and they're sharp enough without being shorter. Update: If the soft lead pencil has been dropped and shattered it might leave the point in the sharpener (this just happened to me), but in that rare event, it's easy to remove by breaking up the jammed piece with one of these pointed clay tools: https://www.amazon.com/COMI-Modeling-Sculpture-Playdough-Needle/dp/B019BUBMHY/ref=sr_1_2?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1464789102&sr=1-2&keywords=clay+tool%2C+point
Question:	How long does it last in a classroom
Answer:	I bought mine a year ago for my then 6 year old first grader for home use. I had also bought him 6 boxes of 36 count Ticonderoga Beginners - Primary Size pencils (extra fat). He loves his sharpner so much that he decided to sharpen all 216 pencils. When doing homework at night he would purposely press hard to break the lead, just so that he could run back and sharpen his pencil with it. We had to start keeping 5 or 6 pencils at a time at the table while doing homework just to avoid that. If this sharpner can put up to his daily abuse, it should do fine in a classroom setting.

Answer:	The X-ACTO Model 41 sharpener's largest hole size is 10.75 mm.
Question:	Can it be used to sharpen golf pencils
Answer:	No. The hole sizes are fine, but the helical blades are too deep inside the machine. You can't sharpen anything shorter than about 2.5 inches in this unit. Sharpening golf pencils for church is the reason we bought this unit, so we're returning it (sadly, because it's otherwise a brilliant machine).
Question:	Why is this sharpener 100 dollars more than the rest
Answer:	This is the absolute boss hog pencil sharpener. You do not need this sharpener if you only have a few pencils to sharpen every month. You need this sharpener if you have an office where employees need pencils sharpened on a regular basis, or if you are a teacher or consultant that works with pencils (which I am),
Question:	its work for collor pencils
Answer:	It grinds wooden sticks to a fine point. If the colored pencils you speak of are wooden, it will in fact grind them to a fine point.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the material it's made of like? A couple reviewers said flimsy metal, another said chrome-plated plastic. I'm confused
Answer:	I purchased this mouse, I love the function of it versus my older Logitech mouse. I have had it for 10 days now using it several hours a day without needing to charge it. I did not charge it when I opened the package so this 10 days represents whatever charge it came from the factory with. The specs claim 40 days on a single charge with the USB, and that just 4 mins of charging will get you a whole day of use. You can also continue to use the mouse while charging with the plug-in USB cable, so you will not lose any downtime.
Question:	Is this made in USA
Answer:	This mouse doesn't use the legacy SetPoint software, it uses the newer Logitech Options software. There are a total of 6 controls that can be reprogrammed - middle wheel button, mode shift button, gesture button (the thumb rest), forward and backward thumb buttons, and the function of the thumb wheel.
Question:	Is it possible to mount this vertically
Answer:	It doesn't work with the unifying receiver (like the one that comes with the Logitech Craft Keyboard, I'm assuming). I believe Logitech has a separate line of productivity mice that are compatible with that. The G604 does come with it's own usb WiFi receiver that nests in the mouse body when not in use. It can also use Bluetooth. Not sure if it's own usb receiver can be used by other mice though.
Question:	Does it have one or two rollers (the spiral sharpeners
Answer:	It does not charge through cable. You just replace the single AA. It lasts 250 hours for a alkaline.
