Oh snap – I want that! I need a better way to sharpen my contractor pencils!
Bandages not Included
Cool! That’s a totally badass sharpener!
I think I saw this on Dexter.
Not to put too fine a point on it but this is certainly thinking outside the pencil box.
Overkill…I’m thinking this will work not so much as a pencil sharpener, but more like a pencil shortener.
OMG! You can even adjust torque for hard wood pencils! Drill baby drill!
put your finger in …
timeline:
0.1sec fresh pencil 0.2 half pencil 0.3 its gone 0.4 finger get sucked in 0.5 its gone…
and heaven forbid it to lose center… then it would go wild on what ever it lands on.
please don’t let the button stick…..
Probably safer than using the angle grinder to sharpen the pencil.
…what’s the point…
Haha! Another Win!
sharpen your wood here please!
That could create a black hole!
My God man, you’ve just divided by zero.
And, since it’s reversible, you can lengthen your pencil when it runs out.
There-is-no-overkill.
I gotta get me one of those…
“Okay class, stand in line and put your pencils out. I think we can break that 2.3 seconds record of Ms. Eberhard’s 2nd grade.”
Oh man, I so want to see that in action!
I’m guessing this baby does at least 10 pencils a minute.
10 *entire* pencils, that is…
I was working on a similar invention. seriously. its a better idea if the blade for she sharpener is not engaged at all times.
I’ve done something similar to wind-down 500′ of kite string.
This made me laugh way harder than it should have.
I also laughed too hard with the quote from Stefan.
I can see shavings flying everywhere!
It seems like McGyver is back in school!
I’m sorry but that thing is a bit too impractical for me.
I say chuck it.
Suddenly, my recurring obsessive need to stick my finger in electrical pencil sharpers became a hell of a lot more dangerous.
Thank you all!
This site is like the Oscars of stupid inventions.
My only worry is my neighbors finding out where a piece of their air conditioner hose went.
You can tell that the person who made this was not the sharpest tool in the shed.
@Gal
Now I feel bad. D:
The sharpener that makes ALL pencils go “Number 2″.
Fingers. Meh! Who needs ‘em? Not me!
This gives Teachers another meaning of screwing the students pencil!
Remind me to do 3 things…
1) Never eat at the computer.
2) NEVER eat cereal at the computer when reading a kludge thread with you guys around! ROFLMAO! (milk snorted through your nose is PAINFUL!)
3) In the event of a depressing day, come to therifixedit.com and cheer myself up in the comments thread!
I can’t say anything mean about this, in fact I want one of my own now.
I’d hate to see what happens when he accidentally hits the reverse button…
Wouldn’t that just kill the pencil?
Can also be used to manufacture charcoal pencils.
You set the torque to the pencil hardness. Now I can sharpen my #4 pencils. (A #9 pencil is like a stencil knife, but it holds an edge longer.)
Looks like Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor’s kids will be good to go on SAT day.
LOL You win, sir! (But not as much as Rob. That was an epic comment. XD)
@Rob
WIN!
Hmmmmm. Razor blade in cheap, plastic housing whirring at 1200 RPM. Then, jam a wooden stick in the middle. What could possibly go wrong?
@P_Buttercup LOL, Thanks!!
“Look how fast I can sharpen my AAAAARGH MY FINGER!!!”
what happens if a (somewhat creative) Gurren Lagann fan on crack has a pencil sharpener and a blunt pencil.
@ Rob. BRILLIANT!
Call it the “Super Makita Ultra Mega Reversible Pencil Sharpifier XJF90000″ and I would buy one…
I would have told the fixer that this is where he should draw the line. Unfortunately he will need a sharp pencil for that.
YEESSSS!!!!! I totally need one of these for school….for my crazy art teacher….’s face. And, i agree with Jon. Great name.
Wow, ME FTW!! Thanks!! I feel very honored.
Beyonce’s video was better.
@Daniel
LOL Kanye give me a break? Its my first win.
Home run! (love the added ellipses)
@Rob
(No offense. Besides, your comment was voted as favorite.)
Oh, no worries — I thought it was hilarious.
Your kid asks “Dad i lost my pencil sharpner at school today, can i borrow yours for tommorrow?”
Imagine using this to power the gerbil wheel!
@JimDawg
ROFL
I would love to talk shop with the inventor of this jig.

[...] Editor’s Note: Wonder if they took their inspiration from here? [...]
Guy picks up pencil starts sharpening it, then his mate comes into the room, “Hey Mate! you see the game last night?”
and so they talk and talk, and of course, the first guy is still holding down the power button, a few minutes later, he starts to notice a weird tingling feeling in his finger. A few minutes later, his finger starts to hurt, and he’s forgotten that the sharpener won’t just sharpen the pencil….
Seriously, after seeing this it’s the one and only way I sharpen my pencils. The only difference is that I prefer to fix a pencil itself in the chuck rather than hold it by hand – overall stability is much better.
Remind me again why elementary schools allow kids to bring electric pencil sharpeners but not scissors?
A little complicated and heavy.
This is some raw power!
Lee VAlley sells one of these, but its balanced. And what about putting the pencil in the chuck and puting that in a sharpener?
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!!!”
