Terrific video about my favorite pencil sharpener. For anyone whom may want to know I color everyday and have had my dahle 133 for over five years. It works just as well as the first day I used it.

@HarperSophia 8 месяцев назад

That’s awesome to know

@ShimmeringFocus 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I recently started using colored pencils and was tired of my little manual sharpener. I bought this and was lost on how to use it. I didn’t know you were supposed to pull the top part forward! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now that I’m using it correctly it works beautifully.

@Amethyst678 13 дней назад

Me neither!

@Snickerszn 5 месяцев назад

Just bought this as a backup couple weeks ago. Now I use it all the time for prismacolor. It’s the best tip you can get. My afmat electric is awesome but the tip is way to long and thin. The dahle is shorter more thick at the base but with a very sharp point.

@w.p.2351 3 года назад

I actually figured it out on my own because I also have the Carl angel-5 and you pretty much clean it out the same way. The reason I like the dahle 133 is because it doesn’t leave teeth marks on your pencils!! Yay!!

I will review this video once more when my sharpener arrives to refresh my memory-excited!

@PamelasPassionforPencils Год назад

I am not sure who told you that, but this sharpener does not chew up any part of the pencil. It sharpens it very nicely to a sharp tip and has various settings so that you can adjust it to your liking. I think you will be happy with this sharpener. I can't wait to hear what you think once you receive yours and get to use it.

@Mickey-jn8hz Год назад

I must have been using it properly as I never had any previous problems but …I sure am having some now and I am not using the ultra sharp point either. I am not sharpening as pointy as you sharpened yours. One thing that I do is turn the sharpener around so I can turn the lever with my dominant hand instead of turning backwards like you do but that should not be the cause of the problem. My husband took it apart and no lead was stuck in the mechanism, the leads seem to break in the pencils but remain in the wooden tube…the way you sharpened the blue pencil is pretty much how I sharpen mine., not the last very sharp end as I am a little heavy handed so the first setting was always great for me with no breakage of leads while coloring. I loved the this until this last coloring page that I just did…..

Hello Pamela, after watching this video, i purchased the dahle 133 on Amazon for £8 very good price. I already have the dahle 155 and I am very happy with it. I know how to use these sharpeners, and was not happy when it did not stop sharpening!!!, and it would have carried on if I didn't stop. The 155 automatically stops when the pencil is sharp. Is the 133 supposed to stop too? I came to the conclusion that i only have to turn it twice to get a good point, so I am doing that now. If you know why it is not stopping when it has sharpened the pencil, could you please let me know. Thank you Kevin UK

@PamelasPassionforPencils 3 года назад

Hi Kevin, it seems that it is different for every pencil. When I sharpen my Pablos, it stops automatically, but with my Prismacolors, on the sharpest setting I stop it myself. I assume that it would keep going to what it thinks is the sharpest lead if I allowed it. I just know exactly when I want to stop. Maybe if you play with the silver dial and put it half way.

@kevinworth3311 3 года назад

@@PamelasPassionforPencils Thank you for replying, I am just going to leave it at the sharp setting.

Hi, I also have a dahle 133, and have a question about it. I have been using it for about 2 years now. I was very happy with it, but now I notice that the rubbers in the holder no longer hold the pencil very well. When I start sharpening, the holder pulls in too quickly. , after 1 turn already. As a result, the pencil doesn't sharpen well enough. Have you experienced something like this before? Do you know what to do? Greetings from the Netherlands.

The pencil also turns inside the grip. Secondly, most of the time I can feel that it stops sharpening, but sometimes it just keeps eating my pencil 😢 I use Polychromos and Prismacolors. Any ideas?

Their professional sharpeners are much more heavy duty. They do have steel grips on them that grip onto your pencils though. If you don't want marks on your pencils, then I would stick to the Dahle 133. It's fabulous, sharpens every pencil in my collection, including square and hexagonal, and it doesn't have "teeth" that hold your pencil in place. Happy Coloring!
