Why it's buy-it-for-life

Owner reports heavy daily use for about 7 years with no issues; describes modern (under 10-year-old) X-Acto units as powerful yet fairly quiet.

    Modern (<10 years) X-acto sharpeners are beasts. Fairly quiet beasts, no less. I've had mine 7-ish years and use it heavily.
