My latest order from Jet Pens arrived today: a nice plastic case with 12
Tombow Mono-R Ippo 2B pencils and a
Tombow Mono Zero round ultra-fine 2.3 mm elastomer eraser with some refills.
Since the
Tombow Ippo hexagonal pencils are meant for school children, one of its sides is painted white across its entire lenght for easy labeling.
The
Mono Zero eraser refills are packed two per tube and are just 2" long with a 2.5" clear plastic plunger attached to them. Each push of the button advances the stick eraser in 0.7 increments. This eraser should naturally be reserved for very specific instances like correcting small areas or making delicate adjustments on complex graphite illustrations, for it would be wasteful to use this precision tool on regular jobs that can already be handled with a conventional block eraser.
The
Tombow round 2.3 mm ultra fine precision eraser is clearly designed to work well in tight spots, and it did a fair job of clearing a good amount of graphite out of the
2B test swatch.
The
Tombow Mono-R Ippo 2B pencil writes and draws smoothly leaving rich dark marks that are quite smudge-resistant on this
Rhodia dotPad. The boxed set of 12 pencils would certainly make a fine present for a kid or artist in your list.

Jetpens is ALWAYS parting me from my money! I have so many things in my wish-list... too bad you don't get jetpoints like thinkgeek gives geekpoints.
I love the Tombow Mono Zero eraser. Easily the most useful tool i have acquired in a good while. Absolutely brilliant is what it is.
