Mitsubishi Pencil Pocket Sharpener DPS6001P For Sharpener Uni 2.0mm Wick Holder

I bought this to compare to the Staedtler 502 rotary lead pointer sharpener. It is now the only sharpener I use.Pros:-small enough for easy travel use-all branded lead holders will work-provides an excellent point-intuitive, simple to use like any standard wood pencil sharpenerCons:-Only one taper level, compared to the 502 which offers a method to use a longer taper-Small enough to lose easily-shaving trap can be irritating to open for emptyingUpdate: Having now used and recommended this product, I have one significant complaint. In the event that the lead breaks inside the sharpener, you must slide the interior blade housing out via the base to clear it. No included information nor marking made this clear and I nearly broke the sharpener figuring it out.I have been using this for about a month-ish. It is incredibly handy and provides a steeper point taper than most lead holders' included sharpeners, meaning a longer, sharper point. I have been using it extra frequently and thus far it has not failed to provide a fantastic point. Easy to fit into my pocket, so I can take it with me on the go and that means I can make finer, more detailed drawings easily even just going out for coffee. I cannot stress enough how much I love this thing, and how much having it has improved even just my enjoyment of drawing. I have nearly lost it a couple of times because of how small it is, it can easily disappear on the cluttered desk, but it's simple enough to just always put it in the same place. I plan to buy a couple more to keep around, one for my car and a backup for my travel pack. However, the ONE option for taper length can be very restrictive to certain artists, vs the harder to use Staedtler 502 which gives you the option to sharpen a longer taper. I recommend this very highly to anyone who draws from the point, but possibly not for people who lay in lead from the side . Either way it's cheap enough to get it and try it yourself without major loss.Thanks for reading <3

I have the two main lead pointers- the blue spinning Staedtler one and the tiny Kum one with the clear top. This Mitsubishi one has them both beat! First of all, my main problem with the other two sharpeners is their constant spillage of shavings. I can't take either one anywhere without getting the bag and all of my other drawing tools covered in fine graphite powder. Before I got this Mitsubishi, I had resorted to putting a piece of tape over the holes of the Krum. This Mitsubishi's swivel top seems to be purposely designed to address this problem- it opens and closes quickly and easily, effectively plugging the hole and preventing shavings from getting out. I was worried that it would swivel open in my pocket, but this has not yet happened during four months of constant use and travel. It is very tiny and feels well constructed. Mine sharpens the lead PERFECTLY, to just about the sharpest you can ever hope to get a lead. I don't use my spinning pointer anymore because it was constantly breaking my leads- I just use this and my Krum. Downsides would be the difficulty of access to its innards- others have gotten it open but I haven't really tried. I'm not sure if the blade is replaceable (Edit: The blade IS accessible AND replaceable, see photo). Apparently others have also gotten one that has a misaligned blade. Mine, however is perfect and shows no sign of dulling and I use it A LOT. Even if it did eventually "die", I have no issues with just buying another. I will probably buy 2 or 3 more anyway to keep in reserve. If you use lead holders regularly, I promise you, you want this lead pointer! The Japanese and their manga artists got this figured out.

I love the fact that it is small but not as small as some of the others, like the pack of 3 tiny sharpeners with windows. Although they all have a special place in my working environments. I like to keep this one at home. I love the point it makes and the reception that catches the lead can hold lots of shavings. It seems to be very well made, and I would expect nothing less from Uni company. I like working with very thin leads and with thus Sharpener I get that thinness but still able to work with a thinker lead when I need it. So that means I don't have to carry around different sizes of mechanical pencils.It was a very good price on top of all that so I ordered 2!

This sharpener is great, it makes a very sharp, precise point on the 2.0mm lead. There are a couple of downsides to this sharpener. First is, if your sharpening a piece of lead (and I recommend not buying the cheap stuff, Staedtler is the best in the industry.) and any of the tip breaks off it's impossible to properly sharpen your lead. Second the cover for the bottom of the sharpener that holds the shavings, gives you no access to be able to remove to broken piece of lead. If these issues were corrected I would have given them five stars.I absolutely love the 2.0mm pencil lead, I work in in the ADA industry installing and repairing automatic doors and the large lead size leads to less breakage of the lead.

2mm lead sharpener — OUTSTANDING!!!I’m using this for art / graphite drawings.Bought this to use with my WSD 2mm lead clutch case*I’ll never leave home without this sharpener that just arrived this afternoon. Mega impressed. Quickly sharpened my 2mm lead sharper than I would have ever thought possible!!* Important side note if you have this particular pencil clutch: lead will swivel on you if using this particular lead holder (not uni fault, I’m just mentioning this so you know what to do) hold lead between fingers and you can even rotate this sharpening upside down.Using a standard mechanical pencil is just a pure joy!! And easy as those cases ‘hold’ the lead from rotating.You’ll love this sharpener!!!Ease of use, travel friendly, incredible performance!!! Value for the money 👍🏻👍🏻 It’s sharpening ability left me gob smacked!!
