German term or phrase: Bleistifte anspitzen
penso di avere compreso il significato della frase, ma sarei più tranquilla se mi confermaste questa espressione idiomatica, si tratta di una lettera nella quale l'acquirente si lamenta di difetti alla macchina presso il fornitore

Unserer Herr XXX hat mehrfach darauf hingewiesen, dass wir eine Kanalabstufung von XXX als geeigneter ansehen und auf einer [modello e marca di una macchina] keine Bleistifte anspitzen wollen

... non intendiamo usare [xxx] come temperamatite


Explanation:
Non penso che si tratti di un'espressione idiomatica molto usata e così la prenderei quasi letteralmente. Vediamo che cosa pensano i colleghi...

"fare la punta alle matite"


Explanation:
Da noi esiste il corrispondente in dialetto (è una bella e colorita espressione)

Insomma non vogliono che il loro investimento dia risultati paragonabili a quelli che potrebbe fornire un temperamatite di poco costo!
