Tombow Mono Zero Eraser - 2.5 mm x 5 mm - Rectangle - Black Body

This, this product is wonderful. Much more effective than relying on corners. I thought I wouldn't be using it much (and I didn't) until I started drawing comics again, and it's perfect since I work on a relatively small scale. I used to use an eraser guard (thin metal sheet with holes) but this is MUCH more convenient and effective. In fact, I may get the smaller round since for some cases this isn't small enough!

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.

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!
