Coolest Eraser Ever!


No they are not Poke-balls, but the coolest redesign of the humble graphite pencil eraser: Maped Zenoa . Well that might be a slight exaggeration, but this was still a pretty cool find in the School supplies aisle at Target especially on sale for 97 cents a pop! This nifty erasing gadjet has a rotary protective case that keeps the eraser nice and clean inside a backpack or pencil case until it's needed. Its narrow profile allows for precision erasing of assorted hardness graphite lines as shown in the test sketch in the picture. I would suspect it to be an affordable alternative to the premium Faber Castell UFO eraser which I still haven't tried since it's not so readily available and can be fairly expensive given current currency exchange rates (saw it once at a specialty pen counter for $12 a piece).
