- Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2025Verified Purchasework good
- Reviewed in Canada on April 13, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks great, but it's very difficult to mount. They provide you with three tiny screws only ¾" long, and it's almost impossible to get the correct angle on the third. That screw will strip out immediately. You can easily scratch the finish on the pencil sharpener doing this, so I recommend you get your own screws. The mounting hole will accept a #6 pan head screw, but you can also fit #7 screws if you thread them through. A long screwdriver helps a lot.

Reviewed in Canada on December 26, 2024Verified PurchaseToujours aussi pratique même après plusieurs années
- Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2024Verified PurchaseDoesn't feel heavy or anything. There are two blades inside, so the pencil gets sharp really fast. Make sure you hold it in the right angle as the wrong one will sharpen the pencil to an unusable way.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 1, 2024Verified PurchasePencils are sharpened quickly but the point is often off to one side. Its hard to sharpen a pencil with the point in the center of the cut.

Reviewed in Canada on November 8, 2024Verified PurchaseFait pour quoi il as ete consut va très bien
- Reviewed in Canada on March 12, 2025Verified PurchaseThis is another example of a company passing off cheap Chinese garbage as a quality product based on their name. I knew I shouldn't buy it, but I hoped X-Acto had some integrity and quality control, but they don't. It's made of the absolute thinnest sheet metal, the screws that are included are like tissue paper. There are three mounting holes, with one being directly below the handle making impossible to mount the sharpener without stripping that screw. I bought this because I didn't want to pay $35 for a used Giant. I was wrong and regret trying to save a couple of dollars. I'm writing this so you don't have to waste your money like I did.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easily stripped and broken screws - diappointed purchase
Verified PurchaseI remember that back in the 1970's how strong, durable and easy to sharpen to a long, tapered point this X-Acto sharpener was. Now with grandkids going to school and always needing to sharpen, I decided to invest the money in a "quality" sharpener. How times have changed! The metal is flimsy and easily bendable. I am guessing that if I need to change the pencil hole diameter often, it will not last very long. Trying to secure the base, the screwhead stripped on one. Another screw broke off at the head. I will need to buy new screws and will have a difficult time getting the stripped and broken screw out. Be sure to pre-drill holes for less aggravation, although you will still have problems. I am disappointed in my purchase.
