    Very enjoyable - I think the yellow paint works well.

    We had those sharpeners at school when I was about 9. It was massive entertainment to start with a new pencil and sharpen it down to a stub. Took about a minute, with practice.
    Whilst great, I think a little less needless product placement might be an improvement. That Bosch screwdriver was pointless.

    Brilliant! My old man had one of these on his desk when I was a nipper, a green one. It's missing the desk clamp that goes into the front hole!

    And as someone said in the comments: Did anyone else "smell" those pencil shavings when he opened the shaving drawer?

    From distant school days memories I can picture one of these pencil sharpeners on the teachers desk, obviously couldn’t be trusted to sharpen a pencil ourselves.
