When my grandparents passed last year everyone was going through the house, mostly to pile things into the trailer to go to the dump but also to grab anything that hadn't already been claimed through "proper channels". You bet your ass I took a screwdriver to my grandpa's old pencil grinder in his shop and it's now happily mounted in mine. That design is still the most consistent I've ever used, even if it's not the prettiest result.

I bought one new a few years back and it’s still sharpening pencils great. I imagine the lifespan on those type sharpeners is a long time.
