This eraser is just brilliant. It reaches into tiny places with near surgical precision, and does a great job removing pencil marks. I can't recommend it highly enough.

A friend of mine got me this in a trip and it was so useful for my drawings that I got multiple refilling packs! I won't be running out of this eraser anytime soon!

It has been so good getting to the smaller areas that my bigger erasers couldn't get to as easily when I'm doing an all pencil pic.

I recommend any artist who needs help getting the smallest areas in their pictures to use this!

This eraser looks really great. The housing length is 12 cm long and .9 cm wide. The eraser is only 5 cm long and .2 cm wide. When you purchase the refill the actual eraser is less than half the length of the packaging(bad). There is an advantage of using this over a block style eraser for precision erasing(ei. drafting). It's entirely made of plastic save the guide pipe. It's a tad on the light side but still feels good to use. The advantages do out weight the price(again for precision).

I think some people reviewing this eraser are missing the intended purpose for this tool. This eraser tool works perfectly at removing small areas; it is very precise and erases perfectly with ease. This eraser is fast becoming something I always want to have around. The length of the refill eraser isn't really a good indicator for how long it will last. The areas I'm using it for are small and so far the eraser itself is lasting a lot longer than I expected.

This eraser is absolutely amazing! If you're looking for an everyday eraser this is not the thing for you, however it's perfect for sketching when you need to reach into small areas and remove some graphite. Also, if you buy this, make sure you buy lots of refills as well - you will need them.

The eraser feels dry and faily hard but doesnt leave behind alot of 'eraser slivers' like ye olde rubber erasers. Its also not gooey & greasy like a few erasers that just smear your graphite all over the page! LOVING this eraser! Do not use it to erase big areas unless you want to go broke. It is meant to erase parts of the eyelashes you are drawing and other details which it does with righteous fury.

This is an awesome little thing. I think the silver body of the eraser is quite visually appealing, and makes it seem very professional. The actual eraser itself does a good job of erasing things precisely and cleanly. Definitely a must for lovers of good erasers!

It looks very cool! like it!

I have the round one and I LOVE it! I'm a fine artist and I my main eraser used to be an old (15 years) Tombow black and orange click eraser, but this has now replaced it and I only ever use the other one for large spaces. My only wish is that they would put more eraser on the plastic stick, but this eraser is so awesome that I'm happy to buy extra refills.

Nice addition to an eraser collection and quite effective for making small corrections in tight spaces.

These are the best. The thin eraser is fantastic for fine detail work. Just make sure to purchase extra refills as the eraser is only about 2 inches in length.

I love this product. The eraser erases very well, but does wear down quickly. If you use a regular block eraser for larger errors and only use this for precision erasing, the eraser lasts for a reasonable amount of time.

I have to write a rave review about this eraser! I'm an artist and my drawings are very detailed (http://www.jeremiahjwhite.com) so I need a small eraser in areas to bring out tiny highlights or to make tiny corrections. The eraser with the smallest point available in local art stores is the Sanford Tuff Stuff Eraser, which has actually ruined parts of my drawings by randomly leaving behind some sort of residue. Not only that, it isn't that effective either. It doesn't remove as much graphite/charcoal as it should and requires a lot of rubbing.

In my long search for a precision eraser, I finally found the Tombow Mono Zero Eraser. I was worried that it would let me down like previous erasers, but I had to give it a shot. I'm glad I did, I love this eraser! It's stiff enough (like pink pearl erasers) to allow great control and precision. I even sharpened it and even that point was strong! It removes a lot of graphite/charcoal and requires less rubbing (which makes for sharper details in drawing.)

One concern I had after reading some reviews on it was that the eraser wouldn't last that long because of it's short length. That's no longer a concern after using it on my last drawing, which was quite large. If you only use it on small areas, as intended, it'll last you a long time. Like many artists, I use a variety of erasers. Gotta have the right tool for the job. If I need to erase a larger area than what's appropriate for the Mono Zero, I'll use a larger eraser like my blue Staedler Mars plastic eraser holder.


In the near future, I think I'll buy more of them so I always have one nearby.

The circle is muuuuuuuucccccccchhhhhhhh better than the horrible rectangle piece of junk.:)

I also use a TuffStuff, but this is just that much better! I love the precision I can get with this eraser. It's strong and erases very well considering it's tiny tip. I highly recommend it!

I primarily use a Tuff Stuff for small mistakes, but this Mono Zero very precise corrections possible. It is now an essential part of my kit. Make sure to get a handful of refills though. The erasers are not long, maybe three inches or so with a plastic lead for the advance mechanism. I'm very happy with the quality and it's unique size. Thumbs up!

Finally a miniaturists' eraser! Been waiting for this for decades. Kudos to Tombow. I use this baby all the time. Any precision freak would.

I've had this eraser for about a year now, but I must say I don't use it as often as I thought. I'm a huge fan of my Mono Block eraser and thought this would be similar, but the eraser is actually a different material. My guess is because if it was this thin it would crumble, so it's harder in this small pen version.

It does work well, but I still yearn for the effectiveness of my Mono Block in a small form.

I understand people's objection to the short length of the refills for this eraser, but I don't know of any other eraser (other than perhaps electric ones) with the precision of this one. As an animator I need that precision all the time -- for cleaning up lines or just erasing exactly the part of the line that I want to erase. Tiny is awesome!

Speaking of which, this is a great eraser to use with the Pentel PG-2 pencil (Which uses super-tiny 0.2mm lead).

While the standard circle style Mono Zero easily found a use in my kit, this one is still struggling to find it's place. The flat thin shape of the eraser makes it difficult to make sense of what it's ideal function is.

It's too wide to be precise, unless you use the corners of the eraser, in which case it's hard to see what you're erasing. It can be used as an all around eraser intended for a less precise function taking advantage of it's wide coverage. In that case it's kind of a rare beast to be used for everyday use. Keeping a healthy stock of refills might prove difficult in the long run.

Again, like the other models of Mono Zeros, the eraser does not extend to the bottom of the barrel. It's about three inches long with a plastic lead extending the length which feeds into the advance mechanism. While it sucks to have an eraser shorter than expected, the quality is tops. Tombow definitely knows how to make things disappear. Plus, it looks way cool.

Not a long eraser but very very accurate. The eraser portion itself is only about 2 inches, but its great for erasing very minute details.

This is a great eraser. I have no idea how other reviewers run out of it so quickly. I use mine every time I draw, and I've only replaced the eraser one or two times (I've had mine for 3+ years). It's easy to refill, use, and store or carry around. I bought one as a gift for another artist and they swear by its irreplaceability! This is NOT for erasing large areas, obviously. You want this for very fine detail work, in which it will never fail.

These are the best. The thin eraser is fantastic for fine detail work. Just make sure to purchase extra refills as the eraser is only about 2 inches in length.

Wonderfully useful for erasing small areas. Eraser is quite solid in use, won't slide back in while erasing. Doesn't quite stack up to the chunkier Boxy or Staedtler erasers in terms of erasing power, but who will notice if your corrections are so small?

its kinda short and it doesnt rub that well.
but its nice looking and reaches the smallest areas so its alright.
