Comment #5 JimAnnabel from Charlotte, NC (Contact Member) -

I contacted Elmers Co. which is now the owner of the rights and patent to the Hunt Mfg Co (Boston) pencil sharpener located in Statesville, NC. Hunt was bought out by Elmers Glue.

Their customer service says there is no parts, especially the large gear for the Model 17, 18, 24 and 41 available.

They said there was an aftermarket mfgr. that has stopped making the gear. Call them and get the story at 800-879-4868

I purchased a Boston School Pro electric pencil sharpener about a year ago. The blades are dull and need to be sharpened.I live in Ontario Canada. I need to know if I can ship my pencil sharpener back to the manufacturer to get the blades resharpened. How much would this cost in Canadian dollars? Also what is the web site address and street address of the Hunt corporation in Statesville North Carolina? Also I will need there telephone number.

I tried to find the web site on the internet but had a very hard time locating it.

The model number is 167X

Please let me know ASAP.

Thank you,

David Bouwman

Hi,

Do you repair Sharpeners? I teach preschool and we have the

The Boston School Pro model 167X.

It use to sharpen the pencils and colored pencils wonderfully.

But now it does not sharpen them at all.

I did make sure that No broken lead was stuck in the sharpener. The blades seem sharp. It's like the position of the pencil is not right to sharpen.

Is this something you could repair? If so do you have an idea on the cost?

Thank you,

Deb Barbuch

According to their customer service, replacement parts are no longer available for the pencil sharpeners.

Hunt merged with Elmers a few years ago. Their customer service can be reached at:

I am looking for a plastic gear for a Hunt model 17 electric pencil sharpener. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Comment #14 Frank Thaxter (67.188.164.112) -

I would also like the answer to the question above...need Model 17 gear .

Comment #15 Marilyn (99.0.11.65) -

I'm looking for the same thing some other people are. The plastic internal gear for my Boston Hunt pencil sharpener, Model 18. I too called Elmers Co. and they said these parts are no longer manufactured. I'm very disappointed, because I've had this sharpener since college(1982)and it has sentimental value. If anybody has any other information on where I might be able to find this part, please respond. Maybe if someone has this same model that has a different broken part and is going to throw it away, I could use that gear. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Marilyn

Comment #16 Tim Bratt (98.144.17.94) -

To all of you that are looking for the small motor gear and larger cutter gear replacement for the X-acto model 41 electric pencil sharpener, I have the following information:

1. Spodaco is defunct. Don't try them.

2. Rushgears.com will make any gear you want but the prototype will cost you the price of numerous pencil sharpeners.

3. I called the Hunt customer service line, and indeed we are all screwed, because they make the gear overseas, and don't sell the replacement part to schmucks like us who want to fix stuff for cheap. We indeed are a throw out society. Anyway, the customer service lady, who was the highest up I could talk to said nobody complains, so nothing is changed. She said if enough people complain, then they will reconsider selling the replacement gears to us again like they used to over 10 years ago.

Please help me by lodging a formal complaint to the following number: 1-800-879-4868. Only when their customer support is flooded with calls will something positive happen.

Best wishes for the average guy

To comment #16 Tim; complaining is a good idea. I'm on it. I hope others will do the same. Marilyn and her long time broken model #18 pencil sharpener.

Hi I have a hunt boston pensil sharpner 17. Its plastic gear is broken but its still in working condition. If somebody have the same broken one please email me , I will pay for the shipping. or if somebody wants my sharpner please let me know

Comment #20 Liz (168.221.157.124) -

If there is a machinist out there that can make a simple mold of gears to cast them in metal you will have some buyers.(however soft the metal, it will outlast the lousy plastics that the Boston Sharpeners have)

I have the gear for Model 18 (which cracked and I glued it, only to have it crack in another place) which can be used to make the mold.

Anyone out there that can do this?

Email me at herz888@aol.com

Thanks,
