OK, here's my nominee: my X-acto electric pencil sharpener ( Model #19xxCN ). I really like a sharp pencil, it helps me make accurate joinery, this pencil sharpener gets pencils the sharpest! I'll bet a lot of you have the old type hand crank pencil sharpener that you mount to walls, similar to the one I still have as a back-up. You can see the difference between the two pencils in the photo. Both are #2 pencils that just came out of each respective sharpener. You decide....
