A Great Sharpener that Offers Great Value

If you need to sharpen a lot of pencils while at work or at school then you should consider getting a heavy duty pencil sharpener. While you can get really cheap sharpeners at many stores, they tend to sharpen poorly or burn out easily since they are not designed for heavy use.

Order the X-acto 1744 from the link to the right.

Short of getting a full size commercial sharpener which cost over $100, what is the best option for those who need something half-way between a commercial and a light residential model?

Xacto 1744 Heavy Duty Electric Sharpener

The solution to this question is the Xacto 1744 – a midsized model that is designed for heavy use, a lot more than a home or personal office sharpener could take without melting on the spot. This model has advanced features such as automatically cutting if it detects that it is about to overheat,  a large tray to catch pencil shaving, and it won’t sharpen any more of a pencil than is required thanks to the pencil saver technology built in (a fancy way of saying that it is efficient).

This heavy duty model is made to be smaller than a full blown unit as well, so you can have you desk looking nice and tidy without a huge sharpener dwarfing the rest of the items on it. Inside, there are high powered steel alloy blades that sharpen in seconds – compare this with the performance of other rival sharpeners and you can see why this item is a bestseller for X-Acto.

Heavy Enough to Stay in Place

The X-Acto  is solid enough with enough weight that it does not slide when you put a pencil in it. The bottom of the unit also has suction cups to keep it planted to the table, to make it even more stable. It is a well engineered machine that makes sharpening fun.

Overall – the best pencil sharpener?

There’s not much more to say about this unit. It does a brilliant job at sharpening repeatedly throughout the day, it’s very solid, and it works every time. If you are looking for the absolute best pencil sharpener on the market then you should look elsewhere at the very high priced sharpeners that go for $150 to $200, but if you are after a great sharpener that is the best in its price range then take a closer look at the Xacto 1744.
