Title: Faculty Asst.
Review: This sharpener is a HUGE disappointment! We are currenty on our 4th one in 3 school years. Thank God for the warranty! They are cheaply made with soft plastic gears whose teeth bend over when they meet resistance. Our 4th one (which we replaced in Nov.) is now making a squealing noise when you try to sharpen a new pencil. We too have had the same problems of sharpening on one side, that others have mentioned. Now the company (Bostitch) has sold the warrenty job to another company so it's even harder to send them back. It is a 2 month turnaround when getting a replacement. I'm currently researching a better sharpener.
