I mean, they worked, they weren't difficult to use and you didn't have to worry about batteries, electrical hookups, fried motors, etc. As long as you're still using pencils, why not use hand-cranked pencil sharpeners?

Yeah, an electric pencil sharpener seems like a huge waste of money

They're about the same price.

Maybe at time of purchase. I can almost guarantee the old school one will last longer and cost less over its lifetime.
