Overview
Pica 560-12 Jumbo Sharpener For Use With Thick Wooden Pencils & Crayon is a manual jumbo pencil sharpener made for oversized wooden pencils and crayons. This is a sharpener designed for sharpening thick marking pencils and crayons cleanly and quickly. Model number 560-12. If you use larger marking tools that do not fit a standard office sharpener, this is the right category of tool.
What matters here is fit. A standard sharpener is usually too small for jumbo pencils, which leads to split wood, broken cores, and wasted time. The Pica 560-12 is built specifically around thicker pencil bodies, so it is better suited for tradespeople, warehouse users, school and craft applications, and anyone who needs a usable point on larger-format marking tools.
The design is straightforward and practical. It uses manual operation, so there are no batteries to charge and no cord to deal with. That makes it easy to carry as a small accessory in a tool bag, apron, desk drawer, or marking kit. For a simple item like this, reliability comes from keeping the design uncomplicated.
Construction is listed as plastic, which helps keep the sharpener lightweight and easy to keep on hand. The jumbo size is the important detail because that is the main reason to buy this model instead of a general-purpose sharpener. If your marking pencils or crayons are larger than standard, size compatibility matters more than anything else.
This sharpener makes the most sense for users who already rely on thick wooden pencils or crayon for layout, rough marking, classroom use, shop work, or general writing on surfaces where a larger marking tool is preferred. It is a small accessory, but it solves a very specific problem well: getting a point on oversized pencils without fighting the wrong sharpener.
Built for Oversized Marking Tools
The main reason to pick this sharpener is simple: it is made for thicker pencil bodies and crayon that standard sharpeners do not handle well. That means less breakage, less frustration, and a cleaner point when you need to get back to marking.
- Designed for thick wooden pencils and crayon
