Stubby Pencil Sharpeners
 
I buy the short golf pencils and when they need sharpening I have two choices. Sharpen with a standard sharpener or take them into the shop and resharpen on the steeper angle with a bench grinder. Anybody know where to get a hand sharpener to resharpen these short pencils to the original angle? The original angle just holds up much better than a regular pencil sharpeners angle. Beer drinkers press down harder I guess.

Around here they'd be writing on the book covers and pages with the pens.

Me too. Tried the golf pencils, figuring who would steal those? In my particular situation, those were gone faster than pens either being pocketed/pursed or just thrown away if the lead broke.

Where?

Lonman June 24th, 2008 05:26 AM

Where else, your local MalWart! That could have read wrong these are 10 packs of pens for $.50 per pack. Not 10 PACKS for $.50.

capnvic June 24th, 2008 01:53 PM

I hit the dollar store for the ten packs of BIC pens, or cheap paper mates.

And..do you mean ten pens in a pack, or how many?
