Guide Review - Papermate Erase-It Eraser Stick Ergonomic Review

Erasers are essential at any desk, whether it is in a school or office. The Papermate Erase-It Eraser Stick is an ergonomic eraser that takes care of the task at hand.

The Erase-It is a barrel/pencil shaped holder with a long eraser stick inside. A click-advance mechanism, similar to a mechanical pencil, advances the eraser.

It has a textured grip and a pocket clip like most ergonomic pens.

But the key to any good eraser is its erasing capabilities. The Erase-It vinyl eraser does a good job of erasing your mistakes. It can leave a faint line so this is not the best art eraser, but for paper work and school work it does just fine.

The Erase-It can handle mass erasing with ease. So it is great for math and engineering work as well as testing. Because of the limited size of the eraser on most mechanical pencils and the similar advancing method, the Erase-It makes a perfect tandem for mechanical pencils.
