Is the AFMAT Electric Pencil Sharpener Worth It?

Here's the trick: this one doesn't run until you tell it to stop, it runs until the pencil tells it to stop. Drop a pencil into the hole and the motor auto-feeds it against the blade. As the tip gets pointier, resistance and shape change, and the mechanism reads that and auto-ejects the pencil the moment it's sharp, before the motor keeps grinding away wood and lead you didn't need to lose. That's the whole flaw in old sharpeners solved in one move: no over-sharpening, no exposed blade for little fingers to find. You get three sharpness settings, so an artist can dial in a fine point for shading while a kid gets a blunter, sturdier tip that survives being pressed too hard. The barrel takes a wide range, 7 to 11.5mm, so it handles fat jumbo pencils and skinny colored ones like Prismacolor or Crayola without swapping tools. It's cordless too, charging in about two hours for roughly 600 sharpens, so it lives on a desk or goes in a backpack without hunting for an outlet.
