The Brown AFMAT PSY3BN page combines an animal-shaped body with a more specific pencil profile than its generic “all type pencils” headline suggests. Its selected Brown option is linked to product 7299030810688, variant 41402503528512 and SKU PSY3BN. The detailed page names graphite and colored pencils, rechargeable cordless use, five settings, and a claimed 2.48-inch minimum pencil length. It names round, oval and hexagonal shafts—do not add triangular pencils from the separate Cyan PSY3 page.

Brown PSY3BN is its own configuration

The exact AFMAT record identifies Brown PSY3BN. The official selected image shows the Brown animal-style sharpener and promotional graphics. It helps identify the pictured finish and housing, but the image’s pencil labels are not a fit test, and its artwork does not establish carton contents. Do not conflate this Brown option with the Cyan PSY3CY because their source pages differ in the shaft shapes they name.

Match the stated range and shape carefully

AFMAT states a 6.5–12 mm range and lists round, oval and hexagonal pencils for this exact Brown page. It also advertises pencils as short as 2.48 inches (about 63 mm). These are manufacturer claims; there is no aperture measurement or independent test of a specific pencil. Check the actual pencil’s widest point, length and shape rather than assuming every shaft within the numeric band will work. Ferrules, coatings and off-center cores can affect a real fit.

The page names graphite and colored pencils. Its recommendation to use a blunter setting for some soft pencils does not establish crayons, chalk or every waxy/extra-soft core. Treat those as unsupported for this model unless the exact instructions provide more.

Five settings and automatic movement

The source describes five adjustable sharpness positions and a feed/sharpen/eject sequence after a gentle press. This is an advertised operating pattern, not evidence of consistent point geometry or a particular length or angle. The exact PSY3BN page does not establish a completion light, shavings-bin interlock or anti-clog gear. A generic “fully automatic” label cannot answer those separate questions.

Charging claims are not test results

AFMAT describes the selected model as rechargeable and cordless, recommends a 5 V / 2 A supply, and says the power adapter is not included. It claims a 2–2.5-hour charge, 600–700 sharpenings per charge and up to 7,000 uses for the replaceable blade. These are maker estimates, not independent runtime or durability tests; battery capacity is not stated. The page does not fully itemize the box or clearly confirm the cable contents, so verify the exact Brown PSY3BN package.

Bottom line

PSY3BN is a candidate for ordinary graphite or colored pencils when its rechargeable design, five settings and AFMAT’s stated size/shape limits align with your needs. It is not a documented answer for triangular shafts, under-2.48-inch pencils, a required tray interlock, a completion LED or broad soft/waxy media. Confirm the Brown PSY3BN identity and do not transfer shape or accessory claims from PSY3CY or another family member.
