works great

Pros

Comments about Alvin Rotary Lead Pointer:

I've used this pointer with 2B leads so I presume it would do well on the HB and 2H leads I also have (but haven't tried). The more lead you let out of the holder and into the pointer, the more you'll have to be careful as to not create what will be little more than a shard of lead as your point. The built in cleaning pad works great.

Useless for softer leads

By kalii

from north dakota

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Alvin Rotary Lead Pointer:

I currently use koh-i-noor 6B 2mm leads for one of my leadholders, and this sharpener continuously breaks the point off before it can be adequately sharpened. Also, I can't get quite as good as a sharpen on this with the harder leads as I can with the built in sharpener on my leadholders.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Alvin Rotary Lead Pointer:

This is the best rotary poniter I have ever used. It was inexpensive (which made me cautious) but it does the job well. I am very satisfied with the product and the service that I received from the company.

Eats soft lead

By Portrait Artist

from Oregon

Pros

Cons

Best Uses

Comments about Alvin Rotary Lead Pointer:

Had to get a replacement. The first didn't work. They don't feel very sturdy and will eat the softer leads. Appears to be working better after some use. Would prefer a sturdier modle

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
