Many of you remember pencil sharpeners
that look like this from your childhood:
Look at that, nice and metal, no flimsy plastic parts, durable and long lasting. In fact, as long as it doesn't get wet, it will outlast you. Now everyone's buying cheap pieces of crap like this worthless piece of shit:
And this is made by the same company
Xacto, no relation. Now while it may look cool, and while it might
be convenient because it's electric, it's not practical for more than
one user and it's not practical for —jobs where you have to sharpen
several pencils in one session;— it overheats when you do that and
there's no cooling fan. And even if you're not using for that, if
it's used by everyone in a single office, it will break within 10
days and no one will replace it or even notice it's broken for like a
year.
I think they do this stuff on purpose
so they can make more money by selling more pencil sharpeners.
