Product review : Bostitch "Twist -n- Sharp" pencil sharpener

I used to actually believe that the basic , metal two hole pencil sharpener was a no nonsense, reasonable choice of manual pencil sharpener. I sneered upon those who used 'handy' pencil sharpeners that catch the shavings for you. I was wrong. Most of those handy pencil sharpeners didn't work for me. Then I used my friend's ( Hi, Digi ) Bostitch sharpener. It was like my pencil was touched for the very first time. This device sharpened my pencil to completion in a way no manual, handheld pencil sharpener had ever sharpened my pencil before. Now I have finally realized it was necessary to purchase one of my own, and my pencil and it are joined in unholy matrimony.
