does it sharpen colored pencils

Yes. I use for crayola ones. Gives a greater angle to the point than what they come with, but works fine.

Yes-this sharpens the colored pencils well. Mine are not too soft- so this was not a problem at all. Not sure if you have a softer lead with your pencils-but this worked well in ours.

No. And I have found that the black ones (at least the ones I recieved) don't sharpen as well as the standard color. Maybe it's my sharpener, but the lead constantly breaks when sharpening.

I don't know, I don't sharpen crayons with it. I only sharpen pencils. But I don't see why it wouldn't sharpen crayons. This is a very good sharpener, the blade is very good and the frame is quite strong. So in principle, it should be able to handle anything than any other sharpener can handle.

No. It just fits regular size pencils. But, this little guy works great. My 5yr old grandson loves this thing and has sharpened every pencil in the house and it just keeps working. We love this sharpener.

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

Nope. But it is really designed for prismacolors but it works well with all kinds of pencils. Best sharpener I've ever owned! I would've paid twenty dollars for this. But it only cost around six. Well worth it.

Yes to all. It has a plate on the front that you can move to adjust the size. The paper on the covered pencils just peels off as you sharpen them so you just take that off after you sharpen those pencils. This is the best sharpener I've ever used. I can sharpen ALL of my pencils...good AND cheap...well and fast.

No, it does not. I have an electric sharpener in my home, however you could buy a separate hand sharpener that kids can use too. I hope that helps

I don't think it will. My sharpener doesn't even sharpen the regular pencils. It's back in the box, my students refused to use it (was used less than a month and was not abused I guess I should throw it away but it looks good and Spent a lot of money on it).

Yes. I have sharpened Crayola colored pencils and it always works great for me!

For the short amount of time it worked, I did use it to sharpen colored pencils. I did not try triangular pencils. I would not recommend this sharpener. It only lasted a few months and I've already had to replace it.

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

It depends on how thick the pencil is, but the sharpener is designed for standard pencils and I don't believe it would sharpen an extra-thick pencil.

I've sharpened hundreds of colored pencils with mine, with about one in 15 getting jammed. Unjamming it takes abot 10 seconds. What happens is the lead, because it is softer than graphite breaks off, preventing the next pecil from sharpening properly. Removal of the tip takes about 10 secods total.

Yes, and it does a pretty good job. However, I just ordered another crayon sharpener because none of the ones we have do a really superior job.

Yes it sharpens evenly around the diameter. It does take a lot of the pencil off at a time.
