I honestly haven't used it for anything other than regular sized pencils.. It is a VERY good sharpener and I am we'll pleased.

Yes. I've tried pencils that were maybe 3 inches long or so and it's worked just fine. I've been very pleased with this sharpener so far. Just remember to kind of give me a little twist while you are sharpening or else you end up with a small spot that didn't quite sharpen.

There is a fairly large pencil hole available, but I am not familiar with the tri-write pencil. However, this is the best pencil sharpener I have owned in over 50 years.

Yes. It fits anything the size of a normal pencil or pen. I have used it on crayons. Works great.

works great with regular pencils, but is inconsistent with the softer "lead" in colored pencils. I've never tried it with larger pencils. It doesn't appear to be prepared to accomodate larger sized pencils.

Re: Jane: Can you answer this question about School Smart Electric...?Jane D3:11 PMTo: Amazon AnswersI do not have a large pencil to try. Three different size holes are available and the largest one looks like it could accommodate a 1/2 inch diameter pencil.

The pencil holder itself is less than 3/8 of an inch in diameter. The brown powder that comes from the pencil does not come to a point. It's a flatter surface about 1/8 of an inch wide.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure, but it about the same size as a pencil, very small.

I doubt it would work with larger-diameter pencils. (I don't have any here or I'd try it for you.) Both of the holes on the top are precisely the diameter of a standard Ticonderoga. One side is shallower for a flatter bevel when sharpening, but both holes are the same width.

This model will sharpen the Dixon Ticonderoga "My First" Tri-Write pencils in the largest selector hole if that's the one you mean. It will also sharpen the standard-size Dixon Ticonderoga Tri-Write (triangular) and the larger-diameter round Dixon Beginner/My First pencils. It sharpens all Dixon Ticonderoga pencils that I've tried.

It's for standard sized pencils. I don't think there is a lot of stretch for thicker utensils.

These are 1" with a hole. I can't take it apart but I did some measurements and it looks like it will be a snug fit, but the whole should fit a standard number 2 pencil. Since they're wood, You could also drill them wider if you need.

The center hole is tight, but quite flexible... I believe it might fit if the pencil is more or less the same size as a normal rounded pencil.

Yes, barely. The length of the pouch is about the same as the length of a pencil, so it is a bit tight for pencils, but fits.

Linda - Unfortunately, the interior of the drawers measure 6 and 1/8" by 6 and 1/8" Your pencils would not fit. Otherwise, they are great; we have three of them.

It depends on the type of pencil. These are longer and skinnier than standard erasers.

Yes, it is just like a normal pencil box but double the size. It has a molded plastic hinge.
