For a smart, easy way to sharpen your pencils, count on the reliable Fiskars battery powered pencil sharpener. A durable spiral mechanism features eight steel helix blades that work together for long lasting, optimal sharpening performance on both coloured and #2 pencils. An automatic shut off feature stops the motor once the pencil is sharp, preventing over-sharpening. The cutting blades are designed to not clog or jam, while an extra large waste bin holds more shavings for less frequent emptying. This sharpener is also loaded with extra safety features, including non slip feet and the ability to cover up the sharpening hole when not in use. Requires 4 AA batteries ( not included )
