Battery Operated Pencil Eraser for Sketching Pencils/Drafting/Drawing/Graphite Pencils, Couture Creations Creative Detailer Tool, AFMAT Electric Eraser Kit for Artists, 140 Refills

First off, this will not work for every ink, on every paper type, but, for myself, I bought this item specifically for using in crafting and cardmaking (using many different types of ink mediums). I have not tested it yet on all the types I have.., I just got it today. I chose this Afmat model because it was the most similar to couture creations version of a electric eraser, Which is highly recommended by many card making artists. But that one is hard to find in stock as well as more expensive and there's That 6.99 for shipping as well. It works fantastic on pencil, I haven't tryed it on colored pencils or watercolor pencils, or any type of pen yet, but I've also had great results on some ink pad smudges I made so far, just to test iT. As long as you get the smudges as soon as the ink is dry enough to erase, but not a ten year old smudge that's permanently in the card stock it has worked on most of the inks I've tryed, not all, but inks are all different, there are many types, including inks from pens, water color, or alcohol. Speaking of, different, cardstockS will have different results, but I'm not getting into that at this point, I have alot of paper to go thru, so that'll take some time. Today I used Neenah solar white classic crest, 80#. Good results were with hero arts premium dye ink, gina k dye ink (dye inks absorb quickly into paper, so you have to catch it fairly quickly) sss dye ink, just a few to see if it works. It did work very well. But, Not on deep dark colored ink smudges from heavy blending. Red ink seems to be the worst to get out. Pigment inks (stay on top of paper) it worked for the ones I tryed, like delicata, color box, hero arts unicorn white, but I didn't wait long to erase these, just until the surface was dry, so I didn't ruin my paper. It did work as well on light smudges from distress ink, and oxides, but again, I only tryed light smudges, that were new and just dry to the touch. I've yet to try hybrids, or amalgam inks, stayzon, (or other types of inks that are solvent based). It works very much like a Tombow mono sand eraser, which I've been using for years , but without having to actually do the work, since this electric eraser does it for you. Easier to hold the button down, then scrub away at your smudge. And it's actually priced very fairly, the sand erasers aren't that much less. I definatly prefer this (method) of getting rid of ink than using my mono sand eraser. The only thing I think could be an improvement possibly, is too have a sand eraser as an option to purchase, I think that would make this even better. But I'm happy with the results I've gotten so far, I'll be playing with it, using different ink types and cardstock types. Just so I know what ink to use on what kind of paper, for the project I'm working on (like a cardbase that I'm using ink direct to the paper, without using a separate panel on top ) so I can not worry about smudges and have to start over. I wouldn't mind a smudge I can't get out so much on a card panel, that's only a waste of one small piece, goes into the scrap bin, but I do not want to waste an entire card, I spend too much money haven't them all cut for me at staples, to waste them. I'm glad I got it, and very happy with the results so far, even if it doesn't work for some other inks or paper, I've got plenty of choices in what I've tryed already. I hope this helps, all you can do is try it with what you have in your stash, if it doesn't work for you, it's still a great eraser for your pencil drawings or lines you draw on your cards or scrapbooks or journals, to align things correctly. It wouldn't go to waste. I just want to know how to order more erases, can't find them from this brand yet. But I'll be searching.Deb

I grew up in the 70's and my dad was a draftsman, he always used a large heavy electric erasers, this item is great, it's lite weight, and does the job, even erasers pencil marks on wood,

I love the size and shape of this little eraser. Although a little heavy, it is really easy to hold. The motor spins fast, making easy to effortlessly perform fine retouching.On the other hand, button requires some effort to press, which creates tension on the wrist. It would be great if the button had two functions: pulse, and hold. That way one would be able to take advantage of its length, making it work more like a pencil.

The media could not be loaded. How have I lived this long without an electric eraser? This thing makes life so much easier. I love that it has two sizes of erasers, the small one is only about 2.5mm diameter and it's great for erasing small mistakes and cleaning up sketches without losing too much of your work. This thing is seriously fantastic, no complaints. The erasers go fast, but even 140 refills will should last a long time, I've only used about 1 eraser and I've had it for a month and i use it daily. One minor warning: be prepared for eraser dust!Highlights:•Erases some more permanent marks (like pen and sometimes bits of dried watercolor.)•Erases quickly!•Erases accurately, especially with the smaller size eraser, but both are great for detailed erasing.•Easy to operate and and adjust the erasers. The cartridges that hold the different size erasers will hold them snug so as your eraser gets shorter you can keep inching it out and it doesn't slide back down when you use it. (See my picture, which shows how short of an eraser I'm currently working with)•Sleek design, I got the white one and it doesn't look cheesey sitting in my pen stash. And it's not super bulky.Cons:•Takes a bit of adjustment to get use to where you're erasing (but it's easy enough to see what you're doing).•The eraser dust flies far and wide.•It's a little noisy but not more than you'd expect. (See video)Overall, I'd recommend. I actually ended up buying 3 (one for myself, my mom and grandma. My mom hand writes appointments for her business in pencil and really enjoys having a erasers that can accurately erase a single line or name without disturbing the rest of her book. And likewise, my grandma wanted hers to make corrections while balancing her check book.)

Love this electric eraser it runs on 2 AAA batteries and comes with a bunch of refill erasers works great!

Good eraser, I like the option to switch from thicker to thinner lines. This option is quite useful. A little light on the power. I will need to switch batteries more often than with other electric erasers I have had.
