Does it work for carpenter pencils?

No, You would have to purchase a special type of sharpener. Most people also use a knife or blade to sharpen that type of pencil.

It should work on anything that opens up enough to fit the body of the sharpener over the blade. Read the notch to see which one to use. I was surprised that it sharpened a really cheap set of sissors. The serration makes it time consuming and you may ask a professional if there is a better way.

I believe that it will not sharpen those types of pencils but it does sharpened standard size pencils beautifully!

I don't believe so. Besides, it puts a very sharp point on a pencil; imaginably too sharp for cosmetic 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.

Yes. I tried it on a Ticonderoga #2 pencil and it even worked on the "my first" Ticonderoga pencil which is thick.

It will as long as the colored pencils do not have a plastic covering on the outside.

I would not use it for prismacolor pencils. It has a hard time with some of our colored pencils, especially the softer ones. We use it with our generic and crayola colored pencils because I don't mind if I have to resharpen after it rips the lead out, but prismacolor pencils are so expensive that I don't want to waste any of it. I use a manual sharpener for prismacolor.

I don't know as I returned the product right away...didn't work well and could not do multiple sized pencil.

It definitely will. I have used these on the larger sized triangular pencils in my Kindergarten classroom. Since it is rubber (like?) the center hole just stretches. You really need to work it on, but we use them for several months on the larger triangular ones and then take them off to put on standard #2 pencils and they still work fine.

Yes as long as you don't sharpen the pencil too sharp. It has to be dull to work

I have only "regulation-size" pencils, but it looks like that's the only size that would fit. Maybe ones smaller in diameter, but couldn't say for sure.

Absolutely. I use an array of pencils from Prismacolor/Faber-Castell/Fantasia and the sharpener works well. This by far, has been the best one.

I'm not sure..... I tend not to use the eraser on the pencil (I prefer using a Staedler Mars plastic eraser). Sorry I couldn't be more help.

These are 1" with a hole. I can't take it apart but I did some measurements and it looks like it will be a snug fit, but the whole should fit a standard number 2 pencil. Since they're wood, You could also drill them wider if you need.
