I'm looking to use this in my classroom...my question is if this dispenser would hold bigger pencils?

I don't think so. When I received mine it was broken, missing the ball on one side, I would not recommend purchasing this item.

I don't think they would be able to come out of the dispenser. Regular pencils work because they are the same size as the standard straws

I am using this pencil dispenser in my classroom, it appears that the opening for pencils to drop down would not be large enough for bigger pencils.

inside diameter of the unit appears to be 8.58 mm. It may sharpen your large diameter pencil, but its going to be close and tight. I think I would call the Carl company and ask them before I spent the money.

I don't know that i would use them to hold textbooks sized but maybe paperback novels. I haven't put a whole lot of weight on mine since i use them at artist alley. The times i have used it for heavier storage it has not batted a eyelash though. As long as you don't weight it with 30 math books you should be alright.

My students use it to sharpen colored pencils. Just make sure they're regular colored pencils, and not actually pastels, which are much softer and would not sharpen. I'm a teacher, and a lot of my kids have used them for colored pencils with no problem. Mine is now over a year old, and still working beautifully...

No. For that size pencil you would need one of the models with variable size.

I use it just for straws but all my 5 grandchildren 5 years and under use it all the time.if it can hold up to them then I think it can handle some pencils lol.

They could, depending on how small the items actually are. Beads the size of a pencil eraser do fine, they don't jump dividers. I would imagine smaller items could possibly shift around.

The four larger sections will hold 10 standard-sized pencils each. The smaller middle section holds six. Not much for as many pencils as you have, although these boxes do stack nicely, if that helps.

Yes, if you do not expect each slot to hold more than one sharpie per slot. The elastic is tight at first for normal width pencils. I can get 4 in each slot at a time so I can hold a full set of 48 colored pencils in a relatively small area. Works great with my backpack. Hope this helps as this is very well designed and of high quality. I would definately recommend this product.

I used mine for prismacolor pencils. I can fit two to a space. The bands are pretty stretchy so a copic, probably should fit. I'm not 100% sure though. Hope this helps a bit.

I bought the medium size, and it holds the eraser, a small bottle of cleaning spray, and the four markers I own, with room to hold at least four more, but my markers are not super thick and my eraser is just a hair over two inches wide. You might check yours if you think it's bigger. Otherwise, yes, you don't even need the large size.

Yes! Easily! I just went and tried it for you and it fits with extra room around the pencil. You could even use a thicker tool if you wanted. Not quite as big around as a Sharpee marker but larger than a #2 pencil. Hope that helps. :)

No, it will not. Ten inches is the maximum, 10 1/4 will get stuck. I use it for pencils in my classroom.

I think so - used mine once and loved it! My dispenser is as big as the one inthe picture.

I do believe is meant for pencils with a diameter similar to number two pencils... even though is quite flexible, I don't think is the best choice for fat preschool pencils. You may want to look at this the other way around: By using this pencil grip your preschooler might feel very comfortable using a standard number two pencil (that's what happened with my daughter).

I don't think it will. My sharpener doesn't even sharpen the regular pencils. It's back in the box, my students refused to use it (was used less than a month and was not abused I guess I should throw it away but it looks good and Spent a lot of money on it).

I honestly haven't used it for anything other than regular sized pencils.. It is a VERY good sharpener and I am we'll pleased.
