        I haven’t been in school for 10 years now and they were being replaced by electric sharpeners even then

          My high school had them in every room at least until last year when I graduated. And they weren’t like old leftover ones or anything, the building is only about 12 years old

            I mean, they worked, they weren’t difficult to use and you didn’t have to worry about batteries, electrical hookups, fried motors, etc. As long as you’re still using pencils, why not use hand-cranked pencil sharpeners?

              Yeah, an electric pencil sharpener seems like a huge waste of money

                  Maybe at time of purchase. I can almost guarantee the old school one will last longer and cost less over its lifetime.
