    Because they are badly made.

    Never use the plastic one. You want a good metal Helix one.

    It's a pencil parer.......don't be getting all posh with your "sharpener".....especially when you say rubber and not eraser!

    Go to an artshop and buy proper tools, not a eurostore. Honestly - it's like asking why you can't stream movies on dial-up internet.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Real men use stanley knives to sharpen pencils and rubbers make the baby jesus cry. Shame on you OP:mad:

    Too be fair if some rubbers weren't useless a fair amount of us wouldn't be here.

    But that's all going to change now because it's easy to pretend to be suicidal.

    Oooohhhh topical gag!

    You kids and your "Pencil Sharpeners" and "Parers". How cute.

    Real men use a knife to "sharpen" our pencil.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,734 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    staedtler. for all your pencil-related needs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    Real men don't use knives at all. They just intimidate the things they need sharpened into being sharp.

    Why would Chuck Norris need a pencil, shouldn't carbon rearrange itself to form the patterns he requires?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,040 ✭✭✭paulbok


    click pencil, no parer needed :D
