Are the pencils standard size or do I need a two hole sharpner?

I have a two hole sharpener, but they are narrow like a regular pencil and fit in the smaller hole.

A standard sharpener, but not battery or electric as it will soften the soy lead.

I've been sharpening them in a regular handheld pencil sharpener but it gets stuck when sharpening-it fits in the sharpener but the wood gets stuck. So maybe a two hole isn't a bad option.

No. It just fits regular size pencils. But, this little guy works great. My 5yr old grandson loves this thing and has sharpened every pencil in the house and it just keeps working. We love this sharpener.

Not sure how big your pencil is. This sharpener is also good for normal pencil.

They are about 3/4 of an inch long and less than the diameter of a pencil. They are what I would consider the standard size capsule.

There is one little spot that I put my extra exacto blades in which might be able to fit a small sharpener. But there is only one spot so it would either be a sharpener or an eraser. I guess it would depend on the size of either.

The sharpener gives pencils a midsize point, longer than golf pencils, but not too long. I measured just under 2/3 of an inch from a pencil I sharpened with it.

The five-bin fits markers, the four-bin fits pens. New pencils are too long unless you let them flop on the diagonal but then it doesn't look neat and tidy. I suggest any long, vertical object like pens/markers be held together with a rubber band so they stay upright and don't jam the opening.

Each pencil is a different size lead. One is 0.3mm, one is 0.5mm and one is 0.7mm

I have only "regulation-size" pencils, but it looks like that's the only size that would fit. Maybe ones smaller in diameter, but couldn't say for sure.

3 different sizes, each size for each pencil.0.3 mm, 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm leads sizes.

This sharpener works with a standard size pencil only. The opening is not adjustable so larger pencils (like those used in kindergarten or preschool) will not fit.

A bic pen, a Sharpie or pretty much any ballpoint pen fits nicely. Pencils will probably be too long unless they're all sharpened to the right length. I didn't have a ruler, so, if you have a sharpie or bic that will give you an idea of the difference between what fits and a pencil. Even at a diagonal, a full sized pencil will not fit well. If you shorten them, this will hold many more than 150 pencils. If I was looking specifically for pencil storage, I would get a different box. Your local cigar shop might sell you a nice wooden cigar box for a few dollars. They come in many sizes. Or you might find one here on Amazon.

I taught Kindergarten for many years, so I am very familiar with My First Ticonderogas! (My favorite pencils by far....I still buy them for my own use!) This sharpener does not accommodate the pencils we're talking about, sadly. The two choices are for standard sized pencils, one makes a longer point and one a shorter point, similar to the point you'd see in pre/sharpened color pencils. The sharpener is AWESOME, though!!! Great value and a sharp, precise point every time. I highly recommend it!!! I hope this information is helpful! Happy shopping!! :0)

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 use the larger hole in a two hole pencil sharpener. You can buy here on amazon or at your local retailer. http://www.amazon.com/Maped-Croc-Croc-Sharpener-Expandable-001700ST/dp/B003155XW6/

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

I use the yellow triconderoga pencils without issue. I'm not sure their diameter.
