X-ACTO Ranger 55' Manual Pencil Sharpener - Heavy Duty Metal Blade, Black - Perfect for Office, School & Art Supplies Organization

If you're in need of a sturdy pencil sharpener with a vintage look then this one might be just what you're looking for. For me, the X-ACTO Ranger 55 Manual Pencil Sharpener was exactly that.X-acto manufactures these units based upon the old original designs so they end up being very close to the school pencil sharpeners some of us remember from the '60s and '70s. As you might expect, the modern version is made overseas out of somewhat cheaper materials than the "built like a tank" units of old, but not to such an extent as to "cheapen" the look or feel of the unit.The internals seem to have retained the heavy duty build of the past, including the twin helical cutter blades. The unit works great. It quickly and smoothly sharpens eight different sizes of pencils.The gloss black finish was a perfect fit in my vintage themed office. The top of the shavings container is embossed with a nice script Ranger 55 logo that completes the vintage look. I am very happy with this purchase and I highly recommend the X-ACTO Ranger 55 to anyone who is looking for a sturdy and great looking tool for their office.
