Faber-CastellPerfection Eraser Pencil with Brush (Box of 12)

Back in the late 80’s, while working as a bench technician, we used these to clean circuit board contacts, relay contacts, etc.. They’re just hard enough to be abrasive, but soft enough to not cause any damage, or remove any plating. They also don’t leave any residue, like the ‘pink’ or ‘gum-rubber’ erasers do. (Just be sure to brush or blow away any remaining particles.)Several years ago, my last two remaining erasers were almost used up. I looked online for replacements, only to find that they aren’t made anymore. Because of this, prices became insane. People were asking $18 to $20 for old, dried up, half-used erasers. I gave up on finding anymore and sparingly used the ones I had left. I even bought a few burnishing brushes, but they don’t work as well, and they also produce tiny glass fiber fragments.Imagine my surprise, when I found out that these were being made again! It probably isn’t healthy, to be this excited about typewriter erasers, but I ended up buying 12, which should last me forever. They aren’t cheap, but they are indispensable. If you work on electronic equipment, you should own a few of these. If you like them, you might want to stock up. This may be a limited run, as there isn’t much of a demand for typewriter erasers, anymore.

Please remind me of the old-fashioned typewriter erasers. It has a bit of grit to it so that it can take off ink smudges and works well with colored pencils. I like that I can sharpen them to the point size I need. However you will not want to get it to Sharp because it just breaks off. I do buy them in bulk so that I have them available. Once you try them you'll love them.

I originally purchased them for myself to use on my bisque ceramic piece. After seeing how great they are to use I have ordered them 4 times for my Ceramic Club Members. They are a regularly used product for our members. Everyone loves them. We you buy something that WORKS; it is a wonderful feeling.. Thank You Faber-Castell!

I use these eraser pencils to clean silver contacts on protective relays. A sharpened point will get into very tight places. They remove the oxides but not the silver and leave very little mess. I finish the cleaning with a contact burnisher tool. These are well worth the price and are highly recommended.

These are used at work in our lab. They come in very handy with the fine pencil type tip that you sharpen. and the little brush at the end is handy for brushing away the little pieces of particles from the erasing.

I love love love these erasers I just started an art class and find because these are fine it is so easy to erase any fine details without rubbing out a big portion of your drawing.

These erasers are wonderful. We use them in our ceramics club. They are perfect for removing dried glaze boo-boos!

very good quality
