Built with today’s classroom and school year in mind, this Bostitch antimicrobial* electric blue pencil sharpener will help students sharpen their pencils quickly, quietly, and safely. And it’ll help teachers continue teaching without the disruption because this sharpener prides itself on being quiet! The XHC cutter technology allows for 70% faster sharpening and 10x longer life. It's made with extra hardened steel and the helical blade is designed to give a sharp, pointed tip every time in under 4 seconds. With the combination of a super heavy-duty motor and thermal overload protection, this electronic sharpener is completely protected from overheating. This means you can sharpen a lot of pencils without having to take a break in between. The operation is quiet with the durability to withstand strenuous classroom use. To ensure safety in the classroom, the tamper proof MagnaSafe shutoff technology smartly prevents operation when the shavings tray is removed. So, if the tray is removed, there’s no way to get the motor to run. This makes it the standard for safety in a classroom environment with young children around. The kid friendly, easy to use 6-size selector dial will accommodate the various pencil and colored pencil sizes used in schools. Whether your classroom is full of elementary school students using jumbo pencils or a Ticonderoga Tri-Write; or older learners who use standard pencils, this electric pencil sharpener has you covered! And for ease of use, the Tip Saver Technology prevents over sharpening, extending pencil life. Once a pencil is completely sharp, the blade cutters will pull back and no further sharpening can be done. This sharpener is the perfect addition to any classroom with it's suction cup base that will securely stay on any desktop! Bostitch Office also offers a 7-year warranty on this awesome sharpener. Have the peace of mind of knowing that if anything goes wrong, you know you can always trust Bostitch to get you back in business!
