Features

Versatile Pencil Compatibility
The AFMAT PS29 sharpener accommodates a wide range of pencil sizes, from 8mm to 17mm in diameter. This versatility makes it an ideal tool for artists, designers, and professionals who use various types of pencils, from standard No. 2 pencils to thicker colored pencils.
Adjustable Point Length
One of the standout features is its adjustable point length. You can set the sharpener to create super-long pencil points, up to 17mm, which is especially beneficial for detailed work and shading. The extended point lasts longer, reducing the frequency of sharpening and ensuring that even expensive colored pencils have a longer lifespan.
Powerful Motor
The sharpener is equipped with a high-efficiency motor that can sharpen pencils to a super-long point in just 5-8 seconds. This speed and efficiency make it an excellent choice for high-volume use in studios, classrooms, and offices.
Helical Blade
The sharpener features a durable helical blade made from high-strength stainless steel. This blade can withstand continuous use and is designed to sharpen pencils up to 3000 times without dulling. The precisely cut blade minimizes lead breakage, ensuring a smooth sharpening experience.
Noise Reduction Technology
Operating at a quiet 55 dB, the AFMAT PS29 is designed to be used in quiet environments such as libraries, offices, and classrooms without causing disruption. This low noise level is achieved through advanced noise reduction technology.
Safety Features
The sharpener includes several safety features to protect users. It automatically stops when the shavings tray is removed, preventing accidental operation. Additionally, the sharpener’s auto-stop function ensures that pencils are not over-sharpened, preserving their length and usability.
Super Long Pencil Point
This sharpener can produce a super long tip up to 17mm, which is perfect for shading large areas quickly and for maintaining a sharp point longer than standard sharpeners. Thicker leads will benefit from this long point, while standard No. 2 pencils will not achieve the same length.
Two Sharpness Options: Sharp & Blunt
With the sharpness adjuster, you can choose between sharp and blunt settings. The sharp setting is ideal for fine details, while the blunt setting is better suited for rough sketches or general writing. This flexibility makes it a versatile tool for different scenarios, including studios, classrooms, and offices.
Heavy-duty Helical Blade
The heavy-duty helical blade is crafted from high-strength stainless steel, capable of sharpening pencils up to 3000 times. This durable blade is designed to handle consecutive use without encountering frequent lead breakage. If a lead does break, simply insert a harder pencil with 2KG of pressure to eject the broken lead.
Fit for φ6-12mm Pencils
This sharpener is compatible with a wide range of pencil sizes, from small to large (φ6-12mm). Whether you’re using artist pencils, standard No. 2 pencils, or almost any other type, the sharpener accommodates them all. The auto-stop function ensures pencils are not over-sharpened, and the design requires only gentle pressure for operation.
Cordless & Rechargeable
The AFMAT PS29 comes with a built-in 2000 mAh lithium battery, allowing it to be used up to 5000 times after a 2-hour charge. It can be charged using a USB cable connected to a laptop, power strip, or even a car charger, making it portable and convenient for on-the-go use.
Rechargeable Long Point Pencil Sharpener
With a fast sharpening time of 5-8 seconds, the sharpener also features an auto-stop function to prevent over-sharpening. The LED indicator lets you know when the device is charging (flashing) and when it is fully charged (steady blue).
Suitable for All Types of 6-12mm Pencils
The sharpener is compatible with various pencil shapes, including triangular, hexagonal, oval, and round pencils. It is suitable for No. 2 pencils, colored pencils, and sketch pencils, though it is not recommended for very soft charcoal pencils or eyebrow pencils.

Tips for Best Use

Avoid pressing the pencil too hard during sharpening to prevent damage.
Not suitable for soft-core pencils or eyebrow pencils, as this may cause lead breakage.
For optimal performance, use the sharpener with pencils that have thicker cores to achieve the longest points.
Do not continue sharpening after the pencil is done, as this may lead to unnecessary wear on the pencil and the sharpener.

Usage

Power Up: Plug in the AC adapter and connect it to the sharpener.
Insert Pencil: Place the pencil into the sharpener’s hole, aligning it with the desired point length.
Sharpen: Gently push the pencil into the sharpener. The device will start automatically and stop once the desired sharpness is achieved.
Remove Pencil: Take out the pencil once the sharpening is complete.
