The Bostitch QuietSharp pencil sharpener offers a superior balance of performance, safety, and style for educational settings. To maximize each pencil's lifespan and minimize classroom distractions, the SharpStop system automatically halts the sharpener once the pencil reaches complete sharpness. This is signaled by the SoftGlow LED, which emits a soothing blue light around the selector dial, indicating to both students and teachers when the pencil is ready. The 6-size selector dial makes it ideal for various pencil types, accommodating both young students using jumbo pencils or Ticonderoga Tri-Write pencils and older learners who prefer standard pencils. The Tip Saver Technology ensures effortless sharpening, extending the life of each pencil by preventing over-sharpening. Once complete, the blade cutters retract, preventing further sharpening. The XHC cutter technology enables significantly faster sharpening, at 70% faster than comparable models, and offers 10 times longer blade life. Constructed with extra-hardened steel and a helical blade design, the sharpener consistently produces a precise point in under 4 seconds. The super-duty motor and thermal overload protection safeguard against overheating, allowing for prolonged sharpening without interruption. The quiet operation and durability ensure the sharpener withstands strenuous classroom use. The spacious shavings tray features the patented MagnaSafe tamper-proof safety switch, which disables the motor when the tray is detached. This ensures the motor remains inoperable without the tray, providing an added layer of security in classrooms with young children present. The curved design and sleek brushed metal casing offer a stylish and durable solution. Bostitch Office provides a 7-year warranty on this top-notch sharpener, providing customers with peace of mind and confidence in their purchase, backed by a trusted legacy spanning decades.
