Kokuyo KadoKeshi Stick Mini Twist Eraser - Pink

Really cute design and color! I love the pink and the aspect of having so many fresh corners to erase with.

The actual function of the eraser is just so-so. It left some pencil marks behind and would be fine for school work or general writing. I wouldn't plan to use this for drawing, though.

I'll buy the refills, but for any serious documents I prefer the Tombow Knock eraser (sold on JetPens, btw).

these are real neat and actually eraser really well ! They also look cute on your pencil case as a keyring !

Cute!

I am very fond of Japanese office products. Often when I visited Japan and certainly when I lived there for extended periods, I would come back to the US with a stash of new things: small staplers, notebooks, mechanical pencils, pencil cases, etc..

This twist eraser aroused my curiosity and has a number of positive features. It is compact. It erases cleanly. Refills are available. It is not absurdly expensive. I suppose if I wanted to attach it to something the strap might be useful. I make too many mistakes to want to bother attaching and detaching an eraser. Do I regret that I bought it? No. Would I buy another one? Probably not. Although it is compact, this is only because it is short. It is about as big around as a more "conventional" eraser stick. I don't find the level of control over what I erase to be as good as with a Sanford Tuff Stuff Eraser Stick. The Tuff Stuff Eraser is tapered at the tip (like a mechanical pencil) so you can actually see where the eraser is, unlike with this one where the holder/case tends to obscure where the actual eraser and the many corners are. I don't own one yet, but the Tombow Mono Zero line is what seems to come closest to the Sanford eraser. For more extensive erasing I prefer the Rotring Tikky Eraser which advances the eraser stick and at least used to be made in Japan. The Pentel Clic Eraser series has one version that has a flat metal case with a rectangular eraser that is useful for erasing ink, but might fit some pencil erasers with a similar form factor.

So, not a bad product by any means, but perhaps too much on the cute novelty side for me and not quite as well suited to my own needs as other products on the market, and other products available at this site.

The purpose of the corners are to make it easier to erase particular lines without accidentally erasing something else in the process.

I was lured to purchase this since I am a big fan of the 28-Corner Eraser version. I use my planner as a scrapbook/sketch book and needed something portable that doesn't collect dirt everywhere. I especially loved how the cap has a strap attached to it as opposed to the Tombo Mono One where you can loose the cap in an instant. However, this mini stick eraser is a bit too soft for my taste. I would be erasing something and the eraser would bend increasing the effort to erase a simple line. I love the concept and the cap for this particular mini twist eraser, but the Tombo Mini One Twist eraser is the best so far from my experience.
