Does this sharpener do a good job with colored pencils?

NO! It breaks the lead...in fact, in all my small pencils (#2) the leads would break. The fat kindergarten pencils worked fine. My sharpener has been retired to the trash.

It works with colored pencils. I'm not sure if there's a difference watercolor & regular colored pencils.

I can not answer that question. I do not allow my students to sharpen colored pencils in it. They use the individual sharpeners for them. I have heard to many times that colored pencils can tear up a pencil sharpen and I do want to take that chance. But it sharpens the heck out of a #2 pencil. :)

Yes it will work with colored pencils, but most art instructors will tell you not to. The fear is that the softer lead will be ground down too easily. The auto shut off will help prevent that from happening tho so personally I don't have a problem with my students using it - judiciously.

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.

Yes, it sharpens any wooden pencil as long at the diameter fits in one of the holes. Mine works great!

Regular colored pencils, yes. Larger or triangular shaped pencils, no. It only sharpens standard pencils and colored pencils but it is the best pencil sharpener I have ever used and I am a teacher and have purchased many pencil sharpeners.

If the pencil fits into the slot (it does not matter if it is flat or round) it might work. I have only sharpened my kids pencils for school and it works very well.

Yes, it does sharpen the kindergarten fat pencils. I just sharpened the "My First Ticonderoga" pencil which is the beginner pencil used for toddlers learning how to write. I have a 7 and 8 year old and it worked perfectly to sharpen their fat pencils.

I am not able to answer your question. I ordered this sharpener a short time ago and have not used it yet.

Absolutely. I use an array of pencils from Prismacolor/Faber-Castell/Fantasia and the sharpener works well. This by far, has been the best one.

Yes. I have sharpened Crayola colored pencils and it always works great for me!

For the short amount of time it worked, I did use it to sharpen colored pencils. I did not try triangular pencils. I would not recommend this sharpener. It only lasted a few months and I've already had to replace it.

Yes it sharpens evenly around the diameter. It does take a lot of the pencil off at a time.
