The use of pencils might be dwindling, but those who still draw, sketch and write by hand know that constant sharpening with rotating devices is actually quite energy intensive when you’re doing it over and over. This twist on the tool makes life just a little easier. Unlike existing pencil sharpeners that require 8-9 gear rotations of the wheel when sharpening a pencil, the “Push & Pull” sharpener allows gear rotations of just 3-4 gear rotations. This means there is a reduction in the number of required movement to sharpen, saving time and energy!
