The ME Ultimate Sharpener is so versatile, you can use it to sharpen 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm pencils. And it comes with a special transformer that allows you to choose a round or pointed tip for your pencils, according to your personal preference. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: The ME Ultimate Sharpener has two openings—one for 8mm pencils on the left side, and one for 10mm pencils on the right side. If you remove the circular adapter, as shown below, the ME Ultimate Sharpener will also sharpen 12mm pencils. Simply remove the white circular adapter when you want to sharpen 12mm pencils, and replace it to sharpen 10mm pencils.

Step 2: For pencils with a rounded tip, just sharpen your pencils with the white transformer attached to the sharpener.

Step 3: If you prefer a pointed tip, remove the white transformer by gently pressing down on the white peg sticking up from the sharpener at the end of the blade. (Please note, each side of the sharpener contains its own transformer).

Step 4: The ME Ultimate Sharpener also comes with its own unique tool for easy cleaning. This is the only tool you’ll ever need to clean your sharpener. Simply remove the cleaning tool by tugging on the white circular tip under the two sharpener openings. Once you’ve removed the tip, just slide it along the blade and under the transformers to remove any debris. (For faster, easier cleaning, you may want to remove the transformers as well). Once you’ve removed all of the debris, return the cleaning tool to its spot, and you’re ready to go!
