Guide Review - Maped Eclipse Eraser Ergonomic Review
Maped has taken their drafting quality, PVC-free vinyl eraser and shaped it into a cool, inviting and usable form. They have taken a flat triangle or square and curved it into a scoop shape. A hard, plastic piece has been added at the top to give you a firm grip. The result is a great ergonomic eraser for school, the office or the studio.
The eraser's scoop shape, plastic grip and textured surface give you a positive, anti-slip grip. The result is more comfort and control with less fatigue and cramping.
Maped’s drafting quality vinyl material removes pencil marks without damaging paper, even vellum. It is soft and flexible and won't tear or smear your work.
The eraser is about a fourth of an inch thick, allowing for both detail and gross erasing.
