Features

Compact Design
The Westcott 15570 iPoint Ball Pencil Sharpener boasts a sleek and compact design, measuring just 3 inches in length, 3 inches in width, and 3.3 inches in height. This small footprint makes it easy to store in a desk drawer, backpack, or even a pencil case, ensuring that you have access to a sharp pencil wherever you go. The rounded ball shape adds a modern touch to your workspace, and its lightweight construction ensures it is easy to transport between home, school, or office.
Battery-Operated Convenience
This pencil sharpener is powered by 4 AA batteries (sold separately), allowing for cordless operation. The absence of a power cord provides greater flexibility in where you can use the sharpener, making it perfect for situations where a power outlet might not be readily available. Whether you’re in a classroom, office, or on the go, the Westcott iPoint Ball is always ready to sharpen your pencils.
Precision Helical Blade
At the heart of the Westcott iPoint Ball is a precision-engineered helical blade. This blade design ensures that pencils are sharpened with consistency and precision, delivering a fine, sharp point every time. The helical blade is known for its durability, maintaining its sharpness over extended periods of use, making it suitable for a variety of pencil sizes and types.
Auto-Stop Feature
The Westcott iPoint Ball is equipped with an Auto-Stop feature, which automatically ceases sharpening once the pencil has reached its optimal sharpness. This prevents over-sharpening, which can lead to broken pencil tips and wasted pencil material. The Auto-Stop feature ensures that your pencils are always in prime condition, ready for use at a moment’s notice.
Transparent Shavings Reservoir
A transparent shavings reservoir is integrated into the sharpener, allowing you to monitor the buildup of pencil shavings. This feature ensures easy maintenance, as you’ll know exactly when it’s time to empty the reservoir. The clear design also adds a touch of practicality, keeping your workspace clean and tidy.
Durable Construction
Crafted from high-quality materials, the Westcott iPoint Ball is built to last. Its sturdy plastic and metal construction ensures that the sharpener can withstand the rigors of daily use, whether in a busy office, classroom, or home setting. The materials used are not only durable but also lightweight, adding to the portability of the device.
Easily Portable
Thanks to its compact size and cordless design, the iPoint Ball is incredibly portable. You can easily slip it into a bag or drawer, making it ideal for students, professionals, and artists who need a reliable sharpener on the go. Its small size does not compromise its performance, making it a perfect companion for those who prioritize convenience.
No Mess Operation
The EZ-View Reservoir is designed to collect pencil shavings efficiently, keeping your workspace neat. The reservoir is easy to remove and empty, ensuring that your sharpener is always ready for the next task. This no-mess feature makes the Westcott iPoint Ball a practical choice for both personal and professional use.
Safe Shut-Off
For added safety, the sharpener automatically shuts off when the shavings reservoir is removed. This feature prevents the sharpener from operating when it’s not fully assembled, reducing the risk of accidents. It’s an important safety feature, particularly in environments where children might be using the sharpener.
Non-Slip Grip
The base of the Westcott iPoint Ball features four rubber non-skid spots that keep the sharpener stable on flat surfaces. This non-slip grip ensures that the sharpener stays in place during use, providing a smooth and consistent sharpening experience without the need to hold it down.
