Derwent offers two types of battery operated sharpener. You can choose between a
standard sharpener or one with a rotating helical blade.
The standard battery operated sharpener allows you to sharpen 5 different pencil diameters, including extra wide jumbo pencils and you can alter the sharpness of the pencil point to suit you just by turning a dial on the bottom of the sharpener. It has two separate blades one of which is reserved for sharpening the most popular size of pencil (7mm), there by increasing the life span of the sharpener. It works perfectly for left and right handed people as you can rotate the base to achieve a comfortable sharpening position.
The battery operated helical sharpener has a long lasting steel rotary cutter which ensures a perfect point every time, ideal for detailed work. It can sharpen any pencil up to 9mm in diameter in seconds.
The helical sharpener has 4 rubber suction feet for added stability, a simple and easy to empty transparent shavings reservoir and to help keep the blade and reservoir free from shavings it comes with a free cleaning brush.
Both sharpeners require 4 x AA batteries (not supplied)
