Battery Operated Pencil Sharpener by ImiKas


 
Here's what Amazon says about the product details:
  • UNIQUE HELICAL BLADE: Razor sharp stainless steel helical blade from ImiKas that gives a really smooth and uniform cut with ease, can be used with hard colored pencils
  • SHARP FINE POINT - Achieves an amazing sharp point with ease in seconds! this small sharpener creates a professional fine tip. Designed for graphite #2 pencils but It can work with colored pencils
  • SAFETY FEATURE: Robust safety power cut off mechanism that stops the helical steel blade if the shaving tray is removed for emptying shavings and easy cleaning. Great for school kids
  • COMPACT YET POWERFUL: Lightweight, compact and portable pencil sharpener with a powerful motor in getting the job done
  • BATTERY POWERED: This is a pencil sharpener battery operated for mobility, easily take it with you anywhere, takes 4 x AA batteries (not included) but as powerful as an electric pencil sharpener

Here are my thoughts:

Our son just started school this year so now we have homework to deal with. That means school supplies including lots of pencils. We realized quickly that we were definitely in need of a pencil sharpener. This one is really small and compact which is nice. But it is battery operated only. And it takes 4 AA batteries, which are not included. With that many batteries needed I would have preferred a power cord. To sharpen you have to press down pretty firmly, so a kid might have a little trouble doing it on their own. We have sharpened pencils from a completely blunt, un-sharpened state as well as resharpened dull pencils. It seemed to work better and have an easier time with the resharpenings rather than starting from scratch. All in all I think it's a good value for the price, but not fantastic.

Here's where you can find it:
