FAQs
Can I use this for triangular-shaped pencils?
Yes, as long as the diameter of the pencil fits within the 8.2mm or 10.2mm limits, the shape does not prevent it from sharpening correctly.
Is this sharpener made of actual metal?
The sharpener features a metallic-look finish but is constructed from robust, durable materials designed for long-term use.
What is the maximum pencil diameter this can handle?
The larger sharpening hole accommodates pencils up to 10.2mm in diameter.
Where is this product manufactured?
The STAEDTLER 510 20 PR2 is manufactured in Germany.
Does it work with cosmetic pencils?
Yes, it is suitable for cosmetic pencils, provided they meet the diameter requirements for either of the two holes.
Troubleshooting
Pencil lead keeps breaking during sharpening
Apply less pressure while rotating and ensure you are not forcing the pencil at an angle.
Shavings spilling from the container
Ensure the hinged lid is snapped fully closed and empty the reservoir before it reaches the maximum capacity line.
Blade seems to be pulling wood instead of cutting
Check the blade for trapped lead debris and clear it carefully with a small, dry brush.
Pros and Cons

- Versatile two-hole design for multiple pencil diameters
- High-quality, durable German-engineered blades
- Mess-free operation with integrated shaving reservoir

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the sharpener, simply insert your pencil into the appropriate port and rotate clockwise with light pressure until the desired sharpness is achieved. This sharpener is compatible with circular, hexagonal, or triangular pencils provided they fall within the 8.2mm or 10.2mm range. To maintain peak performance, periodically empty the clear container to prevent lead dust buildup. If you notice the blade dulling over extended use, ensure you are not applying excessive vertical force, which can stress the blade mechanism. Keep the sharpener dry and store it in a clean environment to ensure the longevity of the German-engineered internal parts.
