Sharpener Review, Currently, Giveaways, Educents, Meet Ups, Oh My!

Oh my gosh.  I have a lot in store for today!!  Originally it started out with me doing my review of the Quietest Pencil Sharpener, from Classroom Friendly Supplies.... But then Mrs. Farley put up her currently for August, and it was all a domino effect from there!! .....So let's get started! :)

I can't tell you how excited I was to have the opportunity to review this pencil sharpener!! I have entered countless giveaways & seen some raving reviews, but I have now been able to FINALLY try it out for myself! :)

It is basically completely assembled when it arrives, minus the piece that you use to attach it to a bookshelf, table, etc.  All I had to do was literally slide in the metal L shaped piece into the bottom of the sharpener and twist it to fit the shelf!!

 Next you pinch the two black pieces at the top and pull out the face of pencil sharpener. 

 While still pinching the top pieces together, you insert your pencil & release the two pieces at the top.

 Next, it is time to SHARPEN!!!! You can hold the top of the sharpener or just use handle to start turning & sharpening!! No need to hold the pencil yourself, because the sharpener does that for you!!

 See how pretty & sharp these things are!!!

 Because I'm kind of a nerd sometimes, I wanted to see just how long it took to sharpen a pencil using this thing... Start to finish... which includes the time it took the to press start  & stop... right at 8 seconds!! 8 SECONDS to sharpen a pencil!??!? 

 Because of the nerd in me... I also had to compare it to my electric pencil sharpener!  Holy cow... look how much sharper that tip is!! Not to mention, can you tell how rough the end of the pencil is on the electric one versus the Quietest Classroom Pencil Sharpener!??!

 While there isn't always this much of a difference in the pencils sharpened by my electric sharpener... more times than not, it just EATS my pencils!  These were both BRAND SPANKIN' NEW pencils!  Look at the difference!

So was it really the quietest pencil sharpener?!?! Well it wasn't silent... but when you compare the noise of my electric pencil sharpener & the district supplied hand crank sharpener that makes it sound as though someone is trying to bust through the wall... HECK YES it is quieter!!! Probably half the noise of the other sharpeners!!   I was sharpening pencils while on the phone with a friend & asked her if she could tell what I was doing.... She thought I was using a paper cutter, it's that good!
Plus... I NEVER let my kids use my electric sharpener out of fear of them breaking it....I have no worries about them using my new pencil sharpener!!  Ekk, I'm excited!!  I would definitely say that it is well worth the price, especially since you can get two of these babies for the price of a good electric pencil sharpener, with free shipping!!  Click the icon below to head to the Classroom Friendly Supplies Website to check them out for yourself!
