But the eraser isn't the best

She did think it would be better if the purple top has a purple eraser and so

The extra long eraser which is a full 1.5 inches long is the real bonus and the fact that the eraser can be twisted up or down, much like a chapstick is also a nice touch

This is exactly what does on when retracting the eraser - it gets twisted counterclockwise and sinks in to the pencil

The eraser will not stay in place once you twist it up.

I just love the erasers

These work very well but the eraser can be a pain in the butt

The mechanics of changing the top and inserting the eraser is easy and intuitive

So you can imagine my disappointment when I started my first erasing binge in a practice exam, and noticed the handy twist-out eraser twisting its

Many mechanical pencils have horrible erasers - these have very nice erasers.

who write hard, the grip provides comfort and a lot of control, and the eraser is very good and lasts a long time

Only problem is adjustable eraser keeps moving.

The extra long eraser is great too.

The only complaint I have is that the eraser gets loose easily.

The normal white erasers they usually come with have never caused me any problem at all.

Putting the eraser down on the paper and then dragging it toward me (in the main/power stroke of my erasing) therefore tends to roll the eraser counter-clockwise about the axis of the pencil

Many mechanical pencils have horrible erasers - these have very nice erasers.

Their return stroke would have the same problem as my main stroke (twists the eraser in), but since it's the lighter stroke and not the key to the erasing, it's probably pretty quick and easy to change the erasing method (perhaps subconsciously) such that a _very_ light (or no) pressure is used on the return stroke and the eraser doesn't get twisted in

The best features are that the eraser is replaceable, and the leds store in a barrel that you can see through, so you know when you need to buy more.

I have seen cheaper Paper Mate mechanical pencils, that may not have the cool eraser colors, but are just as effective

This pencil has a nice, replacable white-eraser that completely erases and can be easily extended or retracted (and is quite long).The side-clicker is located so it does not interfere with writing, but can easily be reached when more lead is needed

The lead is strong and the twist up eraser is awesome

The eraser is that great kind that twists up so you have enough eraser to make as many mistakes as you'd like.

The eraser twists up easily and works very well

Then there are the mechanical defects, foremost among these is that the eraser, which is extendable using a rotating bezel, relentlessly retracts itself while you erase, this is typical of the Clearpoint's poorly thought out design.

The eraser that came with the pencil will leave a mess that then cannot be erased by any means.

The eraser is great in this set which not the norm for these pencils.

To put in a new eraser, place the eraser in the hole and twist the very top of the eraser holder to the left

The eraser residue is heavier and dirtier than nicer erasers I've used in the past

They're no as soft, leave streaks when erasing, and don't erase as completely as the old erasers

The top piece of the pencil is ALWAYS the piece that breaks so it was nice to see a package with additional top pieces (and erasers)

Also, the erasers on these are good and delete the problem of needing refills for regular mechanical pencils, but if you erase kind of forcefully the eraser might go back inside the pencil but is not important enough to hinder performance

My boys love them for school - make it easier to write (more) neatly, always sharp, good eraser.

If this were a pack that you could mix and match to make five mechanical pencils, or if this was just the one mechanical pencil with the amazing eraser but without the extra parts, I'd love this product
