  Feel The Pentel Hi-Polymer..., August 3, 2010

By todavecave

Feel
The Pentel Hi-Polymer Ain Eraser is slightly softer than the Staedtler Mars Plastic Eraser, but definitely more solid than the Boxy Eraser. I find the Mars Plastic Eraser to be more ridged and the Pentel seemingly hit the sweet spot with me.

Use
I like this better than the Staedtler Mars Plastic Eraser. It left slightly fewer shavings behind and because it is slightly softer it had that feeling of "getting into the paper" and really erasing. The Boxy Eraser still did best concerning left behind dust/shavings. However the Boxy is very mushy and half as thick making it slightly trickier to hold/use especially with my large hands. The Pentel and Mars are nearly identical, with the Pentel being slightly taller and a smidge wider.

Value
Solid value over the Boxy as the Pentel is twice as thick and a 1/4 taller. The Mars however can be had for around a $1 so overall value goes to the Mars. All 3 are good erasers period. It is there unique characteristics that make them desirable.
- Staedtler Mars Plastic Eraser for most rigid body material and best value concerning price.
- Pentel Hi-Polymer Ain Eraser for a slightly softer body than the Mars and slightly better performance concerning leftover eraser shavings.
- Boxy of course for softest body, least amount of shavings and those that are left are usually clumped up, and of course its solid black color.

A love working with this shape. It's very comfortable and covers a nice area. The erasing is smooth and clean. I mostly use it for erasing my blue pencil and it picks that up just as well as it picks up graphite. A very good buy.
