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

Works well,simple to use to add details to my sketches, better than eraser pencils, gets through layers of graphite with ease, sometimes too easily, need to get a feel for it,make sure to have AAAs.

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

So overall I like this eraser. I wish it would allow me to give half half stars because I honestly would give it a 3.5 if I could. I rounded up here. The problem is I like the larger eraser only. The tiny ones that seem really convenient are super scratchy and firm. They don’t really seem like they erase much at all. They also make a huge mess with the shavings coming off. That said the larger eraser size is still pretty small and u can get most fine details well. There are a large amount of refills in the box and the size looks like it would be pretty standard if you need more. I just wish the smaller one worked better.A note don’t press really when erasing or it will sound like the motor is giving out. I tend to have a heavy hand when doing anything (something I’m working with sketching) and it took a bit of getting used to. It works great when you aren’t trying to force a hole in your paper!!!😂

What enticed me was the ability to change from a larger eraser to the tiny one although I have found that I rarely switch to the larger size. I struggled at first as with any new tool. I have a different brand that is battery operated but not very powerful so I found myself destroying the tooth of the paper with too much pressure. Now that I have gotten the hang of it I have been able to take areas back to just a barely stained paper from the colored pencils and start over. Granted I have only had to do this in areas less than an inch or so squared but it definitely suits my needs. I find the on switch very responsive without needing much pressure so it feels much like holding my pencil. I would definitely recommend . To date I have only used for graphite, prismacolor and polychromos.

Works great as advertised

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.
