Tombow Mono Eraser Set - Zero Round Tip Black Eraser With Refills (Pack of 2)

What an amazing little gadget ! I have found this really useful for tidying up the lines on my graphics , cleaning up tiny errors and even used it to "draw" white lines into a smudged area of graphite. It lifts pencil as well, if not better, than the bog-standard plastic artists eraser and does not damage or abrade the surface of even the softer papers. This is not for using on large areas of course , for that I use a Derwent mechanical eraser, but I find this a valuable addition to my collection of erasers.

I've been using a Staedtler stick eraser for years and works fine. However, it's a bit thick (about 6mm dia) and difficult to get at a line without rubbing out nearby adjacent lines. So sometimes, I cut the end to make a wedge shape to get a sharper edge. I've often thought there would be a market for a finer, narrower eraser and here it is. Can't fault it really: small diameter; feeds like a mechanical pencil (so can be pushed back into the barrel for protection in transit); similar white 'rubber' material as the Staedtler, so rubs out with little smudge; small, compact design (smaller than the Staedtler) and a really excellent visual design too. It's very lightweight, so probably easily damaged if you stood on it, but hey, it's only 4 quid. As someone who draws often, using a small pocket notebook, it's perfect.

Excellent are tool, a must for portrait artists.

The eraser is great. However, the black colour makes it hard to spot when you are in the middle of a drawing surrounded by lots of graphite pencils and trying to locate your eraser. All the other colour options seem to be easier to spot. So, I would recommend getting another colour if you want it for art.

Good for detailed erasing

Perfect for correcting fine drawings. I didn't managed to load a refill, so I had to buy another one, but it least one eraser strip lasts a long time.

Great piece of kit, wouldn’t be without one

The Tombow mono eraser is a rubber that I often use whenever I am writing and drawing and would be nervous about erasing something small with a huge block rubber for those intricate drawings and mistakes. To make the rubber inside a pen is quite clever… no, ingenious! Because you only have a small piece at the end of the standard wooden pencil which is often the right size but it wears down quickly, butthe Tombow mono eraser lets you erase with precision without the use of an eraser shield or use any big chunky eraser.
