Drill-Powered Pencil Sharpener FARM SHOP Tools 28-1-38 Dale Whitehead and Doug Henry work together making and installing cabinets, and both were tired of interrupting work to sharpen their pencils. Together they came up with the idea of a drill bit pencil sharpener that was fast and could be carried with them at all times. What resulted was the Pro-Sharp pencil kit.
The Pro-Sharp is made of heavy-duty plastic that is able to withstand the power of a standard 1/4-in. drill.
Because it fits almost any drill, the Pro-Sharp can be slipped on to sharpen a pencil in seconds and then quickly removed. It produces a long sharp point.
After building a prototype, Dale and Doug applied for and received a patent. They contacted the C.H. Hanson Co. to make and distribute the Pro-Sharp. The company makes other marking products, including a pencil holder that fits on a tape measure.
The Pro-Sharp kit, including 5 pencils, sells for $5.99.
