The QuietSharp Glow provides the ultimate blend of performance, safety, and style for the classroom or studio. Its 6-size selector dial is TriWrite compatible and has been designed for easy manipulation by small hands. Once the pencil is inserted, the high performance, thermally protected QuietSharp motor delivers quiet stall-free operation and 70% faster sharpening speeds. To extend pencil life and reduce classroom disturbing noise, the SharpStopTM system automatically shuts the sharpener down when sharpening is complete. Then the unique SharpGlow illumination will light, creating a soft blue glow around the dial to provide a visual indicator. Our patent pending XHC cutter cartridge technology provides 10X longer life and features tool-free removal for fast and easy cleaning or replacement. The high volume shavings tray features our patented MagnaSafe tamper proof safety switch which shuts down the motor when the tray is removed. The unique curved shape and sleek brushed metal case offers class-leading style and classroom survivability. Antimicrobial protected.
