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.

Definitely looks cool, and it is definitely well-built, but I just can't find the functionality. Even though it has all these corners, the more I used it the more it revealed to me that it was a gimmick. I prefer a Pink Pearl to it.

i want these erasers soooooooooooooo badly

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.

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).

In geek terms, this is a 1-pixel eraser. If you're erasing half the page, use a "flood fill". But when you really, really need to get in there close, this is perfect. There's always a sharp line or fresh corner waiting for you to rub it down. Some have said it doesn't erase well, but I haven't had that experience. I erase only small marks on sketch paper made with Hi-Polymer lead, though. That can make a big difference. For me, this chibi is an essential tool, even if it leaves a lot of mess behind.

The Pros: This eraser is super kawaii. It comes in great colors and looks like a tube of lip balm. It's also just generally a great design--you can twist out only as much eraser as you need, and the eraser has really useful points and edges that help with precision erasing.
The Cons: It's all form and no function. The eraser doesn't erase well and leaves smudges. It also tends to accumulate a lot of eraser shavings on the tip which detract from its precision, and are also just generally a pain to pick off.

This eraser is the cutest. It is ultra convenient, as I keep it secured to my pencil case. It is perfect for professor who can't decide how to define something, and I have to quickly change it in my notes before he moves on! Not to mention, the shape is great. Organic chemistry is where I use this the most, as sometimes I just need to erase a single line without messing up a huge drawing. I love these!

i bought this a couple months ago, and i dont regret it.
this eraser is SO CUTE :) (and convenient, as it has that portable strap-thing)
it's size is about the length of my thumb, maybe longer.
i use this to correct tiny mistakes in my artwork, and it makes erasing less tedious.

This is wonderful for fine erasing in drawing projects. There's always a point, so it's really good for precision.

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

Once again, Kokuyo as outdone themselves~. I Love this product, it's very cute. Plus it's able to slip-knot onto zippers, and key-chains. You can even put it on your cell-phone. The top twists off, so there's no worry about loosing your eraser, just in case it gets maybe caught on something. The Eraser quality is also very good. And leaves no trace of pencil marks. (Measurements: 2 1/2 inches tall.)

I bought this eraser mainly based on how it looks, not its functionality. It doesn't erase as well as others, but is good if you just want to erase something small, like a few letters or words. If you're looking for a great all purpose eraser, this one isn't for you. It is really cute though and I always get comments at school about it!

Love it! It takes just a bit of practice, but you can use the corners for erasing small details in pencil (like the highlight on an eye) and use the edge to erase/negatively draw lines.

I really don't understand how Kokuyo could have gone wrong with this eraser. It's a great concept, it's cute, compact, etc. etc. But it FAILS HORRIBLY when it comes down to erasing!

It doesn't erase well, smearing and smudging everything, and the rubber clumps together while sticking to the eraser. This little clump covers the tip of the eraser and it won't erase until you pick it off. It also adds to the smearing and spreads itself around, so the entire point of the precision eraser is gone!!! }:|

Eraser is really good for small errors and detailed erasing like on a drawing or draft.

it's a decent eraser for small areas but not for large ones. The amount of corners on it is nice for getting small places and, if you're into cute things, it looks really nice hanging from a pencil bag or back pack.
It was a bit anoying to work with though. I kept feeling like I was going to break it or that it wasn't sturdy enough to take the pressure needed to get things really clean. Also, I couldn't do large areas with it. just smal tiny areas. Any more than tiny touch ups and the eraseing stopped being so clean.

Uh , i bought this eraser cause i liked it.

but, it doesn't erase that well.

sorry....

So, I will admit that this eraser isn't as nice as a good hi-polymer eraser, as noted by the previous reviewer, it is still a fantastic product. I purchased it specifically so that I could use it to erase the itty-bitty grade boxes in my gradebook for when students' grades change, and it does this wonderfully! Having so many little corners really helps me get into tight spaces without erasing a whole chunk of students' grades. I would definitely recommend to anybody who needs a good tight-corners eraser!

After using it for a while, i am beginning to strongly dislike this eraser. it looks very cute, but as my friends put it, "it is a sucky eraser." I agree it erases very poorly and doenst erase lines completely. i am disappointed

this eraser is so handy! its perfect for erasing fine lines!

this eraser is way too pretty i want all of the supplies sooooooooooooooooo badly

please restock!

Cute!
