This was the standard issue classroom pencil sharpener before kids got iPads in the classroom. You'd have to walk across the classroom to use it, which could be cool if you needed to stretch your legs, get noticed by someone you like, or pass a note. The only bad thing was that it worked terribly. It was so hard to keep the pencil straight inside while you sharpened that you'd end up breaking the tip over and over again. Sometimes they would have adjustable holes to fit different sized pencils, but somehow out of eight different holes, none of them would fit well.
Not to mention that the sharpener was always too close to the wall, so your knuckles would smack against it as you turned the crank. Since it took a decent amount of force to turn, you'd always end up banging your knuckles.
