Does it sharpen jumbo pencils or only standard size

This unit has a fixed size for "regular" pencils, like your common #2. I am sure you would not be able to use it for jumbo pencils.

Yes, we sell the Finger Fitter Jumbo Pencil and the Jumbo TryRex Pencil and it sharpens both of them to a very sharp point. beacon-ridge

Regular colored pencils, yes. Larger or triangular shaped pencils, no. It only sharpens standard pencils and colored pencils but it is the best pencil sharpener I have ever used and I am a teacher and have purchased many pencil sharpeners.

This pencil sharpener can effectively sharpen a pencil in about 5 to 8 seconds, and it's even on all sides. Also, you will know when your pencil is sharpened when you have no resistance from the sharpener.

This is for a regular size No 2 type of pencil. I'm not sure it would work on a cosmetic pencil. But, it is very sharp and sharpens pencils with just a few twists.

Hi Marsha! I have a small pencil sharpener and a large one. I got the large sharpener out of my local beauty supply store, it works just fine. I did wait until the wax was barely there.

Yes, as Heidi mentioned - sharpening regular pencils to clean the blade and oil from the Prismacolor pencil buildup is a plus. Awesome sharpener.

I have a standard size lawn mower. This sharpener is too big to sharpen the blade while the blade is attached to the mower. it is 7 inches long so I cannot get it on the blade and slide it on the blade to sharpen it. If you detach the blade from the mower, then it is OK. But I do not want to do that every time I mow which is every week. My previous sharpener was 4 inches long and was perfect for my standard push mower. I used to sharpen with my old one every time I mow. Now I cant. My answer might be different if your dad is using a riding mower.

I just sharpen mine with an Xacto knife to maximize the lead. Works great ^^ But an answer to your question, you can use any sharpener although I recommend not using an electric one because they tend to "Eat" up the pencils.

Yup, it'd work with regular pencils. In fact, when sharpening Prismacolors, it's recommended to sharpen a regular pencil every so often, to clean the blade and "oil" it with graphite. So I've sharpened a regular drawing pencil in it several times. Gets graphite pencils ridiculously sharp.

Baumgartens dual hole pencil sharpener is a standard size sharpener. If you can't sharpen your pencil on a standard sharpener Baumgartens will not work either. This is a standard size sharpener.

It will sharpen those on the biggest setting. We had a few left over from my 2nd grade twins. We used to use a exacto knife to sharpen them so they didn't get sharpened much until we got this sharpener.

This one comes with a clamp for the edge of something, like a desk. I don't like that clamping function, and I simply instal the pencil and hold down on the top as I turn the crank.. I do like the feature that grasps the pencil and pulls it in. I would like the adjustment for sharpness, to be able to deliver an even finer point.. If I need it sharper, I use a small flat sheet of 120 or 200 grit sandpaper. That's seldom though. I like this pencil sharpener.. I was looking for an old fashioned sharpener with two blades, but never did find one.

yes! That is actually why I bought it. I had a highlighting pen so that was extra jumbo, it sharpened it with no problems

I have found out, since I just had to replace the one I bought a year ago, that in order for an electric sharpener to last you need to alternate colored pencils with a regular graphite one every five colored pencils. I am not sure, though, if I am going to sharpen many colored pencils with the one I just got.

Yes, my students use it to sharpen my colored pencils. Additionally, it has several settings for various sized pencils.

Yes. It fits anything the size of a normal pencil or pen. I have used it on crayons. Works great.
