Will a pencil fit in the hole?

It would be a very tight fit for a round Ticonderoga. Best bet would be to go with a larger magnet and to wrap tape or something around the pencil.

Re: Jane: Can you answer this question about School Smart Electric...?Jane D3:11 PMTo: Amazon AnswersI do not have a large pencil to try. Three different size holes are available and the largest one looks like it could accommodate a 1/2 inch diameter pencil.

Yes, it sharpens any wooden pencil as long at the diameter fits in one of the holes. Mine works great!

I can find out the dimenions - but you adjust the product to whatever you want. I doubt if you can use your own pencils as the pencil size is only for a certain size of lead and it is lead only - you can not use a whole pencil.

I don't know but it is probably worth a try. The recommended pencil size fits, but the lead breaks very easily and it is a struggle. The slots are wide enough that I have been using an awl. The holes are insanely small. For me, there is far more accuracy here than I can utilize.

Well, let's see. You could lay a pencil in it and some of the pencil would show above the top.

No, the whole tray is a solid plastic piece. The front of the tray where the pencils go is raised and would block a laptop from sliding all the way to the front edge. The tray has about a 10" space behind the pencil tray to the back that a laptop could fit in, and the tray is 1 3/4 inches deep, so if your laptop is less than 1 3/4' thick and less than 10" deep then it would fit, but you would have 5 of pencil tray in front of the laptop that I guess your wrists could rest on as you type on your laptop. The problem might be that the tray won't pull out far enough for the whole laptop to be exposed which may not allow you to open the laptop though. I would say if your laptop is more than 8" deep it probably won't open because you wouldn't be able to pull the tray out far enough.

Busy Reader:Sorry I don't think so, unless the cup is rather slim. I know there is another design out there that has option for a cup type holder on one side along with a smaller rectangular opening for pencils erasers, etc.Hope this helps

The box is only 6-5/8" long inside. A standard new pencil is about 7.5" long, so it may fit on a diagonal, but you cannot put lots of them in the same direction.

Probably not. My students have trouble sharpening short pencils. Golf pencils are probably too short to reach the blade of the sharpener.

The hole for colored pencils works for larger pencils (My First Ticonderoga) but not super jumbo ones (Lyra Ferby).

Linda - Unfortunately, the interior of the drawers measure 6 and 1/8" by 6 and 1/8" Your pencils would not fit. Otherwise, they are great; we have three of them.

I've been sharpening them in a regular handheld pencil sharpener but it gets stuck when sharpening-it fits in the sharpener but the wood gets stuck. So maybe a two hole isn't a bad option.

No, I don't believe 1/2" will fit into the cylinder. It's made for regular sized pencils.

Yes. I've tried pencils that were maybe 3 inches long or so and it's worked just fine. I've been very pleased with this sharpener so far. Just remember to kind of give me a little twist while you are sharpening or else you end up with a small spot that didn't quite sharpen.

It definitely will fit 36 standard pencils; I'd say in can fit around 45 max. Great product, very durable!

I would have to see a picture of that, since mine doesn't sound like the one you described. My holes are side by side and have blades on the top of the holes for sharpening the pencils. The spare blades are housed horizontally along the bottom of the sharpener.
