The black & chrome pencil sharpener has a suction base, top view window and four point selections.

The delivery was great and the packaging was perfect. The appropriate luxurious packaging, as if opening an Apple product, provides appropriate satisfaction to customers without exaggerating pencil sharpeners or showing off too much luxury.

The delivery was great and the packaging was perfect. The appropriate luxurious packaging, as if opening an Apple product, provides appropriate satisfaction to customers without exaggerating pencil sharpeners or showing off too much luxury.
The collet that holds the pencil has a burr in it. This burr digs into the pencil as it is being sharpened and leaves an ugly scrape that goes through the paint on the pencil. I was able to file the burr and improve it somewhat.
The drawer that collects the shavings was bent and had to be straightened. The edge of the drawer is supposed to have a rough edge to allow you to further sharpen the pencil lead. The edge on mine is so smooth it does nothing. You'll need some sandpaper to finish your pencil.
Finally, the rubber material used for the base leaves a black mark on my counter top. It requires cleaner such as Simple Green to remove.
But, did I mention the great job of sharpening this thing does!!
With a little more attention to detail this could be an excellent sharpener.

No sólo sorprende, es más, emociona.
Resulta difícil describir la agradable sensación que transmiten sus formas, limpias y de diseño clásico, así como la calidad de unos materiales que parecen haber quedado impregnados del mimo con el que el afilalápices ha sido fabricado. Al cogerlo, sientes que tienes en tus manos una pieza especial.
Sinceramente, he tardado muchos años en adquirirlo. Ahora que lo poseo, sé que he invertido en algo más que un buen afilalápices, que también lo es.
El sistema de rodamiento y ruedas dentadas venia defectuoso de tal manera que no llegaba a completar una vuelta sin atascarse (sin lápiz).
Abro y extraigo el mecanismo para ver cual era el atasco y si habia que apretar/soltar la tornillería, y me encuentro unas ruedas dentadas en las cuchillas con rebabas y holguras de un nivel que no me esperaria ni de un producto de todo a 100.
No voy a sacar una lima y ajustar un mecanismo de este precio, asi que inmediatamente de vuelta a la caja e inicio la devolucion.
Eso si, un 10 para el sistema de devoluciones de amazon.
Eso si, estoy segura de que si me hubiera llegado uno no defectuoso estaria contentisima. La construccion es hermosa y solida. El sistema de ventosa que no me daba confianza es una maravilla.
SI DECIDEN ARRIESGARSE HAY QUE PROBARLO INMEDIATAMENTE, Y REVISAR EL RODAMIENTO SACANDO EL MECANISMO. Si lo hubiera regalado sin sacarlo de la caja hubiera sido el desastre. El desastre carísimo.
Por cierto, acabo de comprobar que le han subido el precio en preparacion de la campaña navideña.
