AFMAT PS92 Electric Pencil Sharpener for 6–12 mm Pencils, Auto-Stop

The AFMAT PS92 has an ABS housing and a stainless-steel blade, with a vertical design that keeps its footprint compact on a desk. It sharpens pencils from 6 to 12 mm, covering standard and jumbo sizes for a range of classroom, art, and home tasks.

Plug it in to sharpen graphite, colored, sketch, and charcoal pencils. The automatic stop ends sharpening when the point is ready, while the shavings bin opens for emptying.

Need a fine point for detailed drawing, or a blunter one for everyday writing? Choose between two sharpness settings to suit the task.

Best use cases

For classroom desks, shared work areas, and home art stations, the PS92 offers a practical way to sharpen different pencil sizes without relying on a handheld sharpener. Its 6–12 mm capacity supports standard No. 2 pencils as well as many larger colored pencils. The manufacturer also lists triangular, round, oval, and hexagonal pencil shapes as compatible within the diameter range. Soft-core pencils are not recommended.

For a group working with colored pencils, the auto-stop feature helps bring each pencil to a finished point without continuing to sharpen after it is ready. In a home office, the two settings make it easy to switch between a sharper point for writing or drawing and a blunter point for general use. Compared with a simple manual sharpener, this plug-in design adds automatic stopping and adjustable point sharpness, a manual option may suit someone who prefers a non-electric tool.

Strengths

The defining benefit is flexibility: one sharpener accommodates a broad range of pencil diameters, while the two settings let users choose a point suited to the activity. That makes it useful in a classroom where pencils and tasks vary, as well as at an art desk where colored and sketch pencils are part of regular work. The automatic stop adds convenience when sharpening several pencils in a row, and the removable top lid makes the shavings bin straightforward to empty. Empty the bin when it is about one-third full.

Buyers commonly praise its performance with colored pencils, ease of use, and the convenience of automatic stopping. They also value being able to adjust the point sharpness. These impressions align with the product’s range of pencil sizes and its two-setting design, making the PS92 an adaptable fit for everyday sharpening at school or home.

Practical questions

What kinds of pencils can it sharpen? It handles most pencils between 6 and 12 mm, including No. 2, colored, sketch, and charcoal pencils. The listed compatible shapes include triangular, round, oval, and hexagonal.

Can I choose how sharp the point is? Yes. Select the sharp setting for a finer point or the blunt setting for a less pointed finish.

How does it get power, and how do I empty the shavings? The sharpener plugs in using the included 12V AC adapter. Twist open the lid to empty the shavings bin, and do so when it is about one-third full.

When it makes sense

Its automatic stop, broad pencil-size range, and easy-to-empty bin suit shared classroom use and creative work at home, while the vertical form keeps it ready to use on a desk.
