This is a pretty nice eraser actually, but there's a little bit of false advertising, as the triangular shape does NOT mean that there will always be a sharp point on it - rather, there will always be a sharp LINE, but this is much less precise for fine details than the now-discontinued "Tuff Stuff" eraser. So while not the best for very tiny precision erasing, it's actually very good for a more general usage. The eraser material is gentle but effective.

I keep two mechanical erasers in my pencil case - this one is what I usually use, and the Tuff Stuff for when I need to erase something very precisely.

Nice stick eraser, far superior to any round one I've every tried. It's a little soft for my tastes, but I'm happy with it.

I want to like this eraser, but a couple of flaws keep it from being a favorite.
The triangular shape should allow precision erasing, but once you've worn a corner down, the precision is lost. After a few erasures, you're left with a big round eraser.
The mechanism doesn't hold the eraser in place well, so direct pressure will push the eraser back into the body. Side-to-side is okay, but combined with the above, it loses the precision the triangular shape could deliver.
The eraser itself is good, not abrasive at all, and very effective. I don't find the shavings to be sticky or hard to brush off, and HB markings are 98% removed. If the clutch could hold the eraser in place better, this could be perfect.

Wonderful!!
I purchased a few of these erasers about a year ago and have had fantastic luck with them. I've since tried the other erasers shown here at JetPens but none compared really. They actually hold up. All the other stick style erasers I've tried all back into the tube when you try to use them (I'm a little heavy handed) but these Ain erasers hold up remarkably well. I completely recommend!

wow, using this compared to my steadler mars eraser stick, is so much better, the eraser isn't crumbly and it removes my pencil marks with more ease, i would definitely recommend these :D

It has a superb quality. Erases clearly and neatly. Perfect for young artists.

In response to a couple of previous reviews regarding crumbs/dust sticking to the paper:

I've also noticed this happening but I've found that lightly pressing the eraser to those clumps lifts them with almost no effect on any graphite that might be under those crumbs. There is some but I'd have to break out a loupe or magnifying glass to notice.

On the other hand, I tend to only do non-"production" sketches so I might not be the best authority.

For me this eraser works very, very well and is (in my opinion) a step up from the round click-sticks by which I used to swear. I like the shape much more since I find it to be much more versitile.

Just my opinion. HTH.

Its great as the eraser dust sticks on the paper...
my fan won't blow away then... NICE!
In terms of ergonomics, aesthetics as well as funtionality...

Cool color and the eraser is good. The only thing i don't like is how the eraser sometimes gets sucked back in when you erase too hard. It doesn't stay in place like the Staedlers

I use this erase almost every day. Sturdy, reliable dispenser, holds eraser even with hard or large erasing efforts. It erases well and clean, and with its triangle shape always has at least one good corner to erase with.

For tight spots this eraser is hands down the BEST. The triangle is stiff enough but you hardly have to press down just lightly go back and forth and even 2B lead comes right up. For 2 bucks this is my only eraser.

I love this eraser. It works well for my big math mistakes as well as the fine corrections for my diagrams. The only thing is that you have to even the earaser back out if you have done a lot of detailed corrections. Still the best eraser I've found.

Disappointed. Pentel usually have excellent erasers (the Hi-Polymer block erasers and the original round clic erasers are excellent). This Ain eraser seems to be made of different material and is harder than the hi-polymer & round clic erasers. Sometimes, this also causes the eraser to not be able to erase cleanly at all.

I will stick with their 2 original erasers, which are the best in the eraser market in my opinion.

i love this eraser! (: actually i found one at my local HEB and its more than this. i think i saw it at 3.00. i lost the outer shell of the eraser tho, so im not using it properly anymore. but its A GREAT buy.

Completely agree with previous review. Got this more as a novelty to add to my erasers collection. This is an ok eraser in that it adequately removes graphite marks, but it does tend to leave debris sticking to the paper surface. Its shape is quite comfortable to hold and control for some precision erasing making it ideal for writers, but slightly less useful for artistic applications. My advice for sketching artists would be to try the Pilot Foam eraser or the Boxy eraser that are more efficient and cleaner to use.

This is a nice eraser. Moms...your kids need this! It is comfortable and erases completely. Plus it comes in cool colors!!!

This eraser is, for lack of a better word, ok. It erases well. It's not too abrasive, but does erase graphite cleanly. However, the eraser "dust" sticks to the paper, requiring you to wipe it away with your hand. For everyday writing this may be ok, but for drafting to sketching, wiping shavings away with your hand leads to smearing of graphite, which is not acceptable. I would only recommend this eraser if you don't do any sketching, drawing, drafting, etc. For those purposes it's great.
