With its sleek vertical design, the QuietSharp Executive electric pencil sharpener by Bostitch not only adds style to your desk, but it also saves on valuable surface space. The unit comes geared up with a quiet, thermally protected motor for maximum power, reduced noise, and durability. Even more, the handy unit provides Tip Saver Technology, which ensures the perfect tip without over-sharpening. Pencil shavings neatly collect in the unit's translucent shavings tray, which is easy--and safe--to clean thanks to a cleverly installed safety switch that prevents operation when the tray is removed. The electric pencil sharpener makes a useful addition to any busy office.
