This is the best cap eraser I have found in recent years. The quality of the material is very good and erases w/o leaving any traces. Since the piece is made thick, it does not have any tendency to come off the pencil. I have tried store brands from Office Depot, Office Max and Staples and found them all too thin and flimsy. They come off the pencil while erasing and you have to use three or four of them for each pencil. None of that problem ever encountered with these Arrowhead Pink Erasers.

These erasers are amazing, and quite durable. I use them as the pencil toppers for my students. They have withstood several weeks so far, and there is no sign of wear & tear. I really don't have anything negative to say about these erasers, they are just down right awesome.

I bought these after being disappointed in the quality of the office supply store ones I had bought. We homeschool our two oldest and with two young kids working on handwriting everyday outside a classroom environment where pencils are used up and not lost we found ourselves using up the erasers on the pencils long before the pencil itself. These work great and eliminate the need to have the kids keep a separate eraser in front of them (and keep those big erasers off the floor where the baby can chew on them!). The price is very, very reasonable for so many and they last so long that I can't see needing to buy more in the next decade or so. They are so durable that they can be transfered from one pencil to the next for weeks. A ten pack would be ideal, plenty to last through the year but for the great price on the big box I can't complain. The only concern I have is that they may begin to get dry before we use them all so I've put them in a ziploc bag.

You can't buy these in small quantities, but frankly, if you give them in small packages to friends and family (12 of them are 50 cents, 24 of them are $1 if you're basing on this costing $6) you'll really go through them quickly. I use them for work. Erase cleanly and quickly, don't rip or tear the paper. Very little "dust", and not crumbly at all. I'll buy these again...in like, five years, when I run out.

I'm a teacher and I use them in my classroom. The cheaper pencil top erasers break the tops off very easily and don't last. I got these not expecting them to be any better but they are surprisingly well made. They are very solid feeling and don't bend and snap off like the cheaper ones do. They also stay on the pencils better. They are well worth the money since they are going to last a lot longer. Do yourself a favor and buy these over the cheap standard ones.

What can be written about an eraser? Only that these are the best pencil cap erasers around!!!!!! They're extremely durable, fit well on the pencil, don't flip off while erasing, and leave very little "eraser dust" behind. They don't leave smudges and don't tear the paper, either.

Great value for a great product! I'll keep what I need for this year and donate the rest to my class.

Highly recommend!

I agree with the other reviews: these are the best pencil-cap erasers I've found in recent years. I have tried all the others, including the pretty-colored ones, from grocery stores, drug stores, Target, and office supply stores--they are all too flimsy and split within weeks, even if they are just sitting on a pencil not being used--they are a waste of money! Finally I have found these pink Paper Mate Arrowhead cap erasers from Amazon.com, and even though they are made in China, they are thick, sturdy, and serviceable. They have the old-fashioned quality I remember and want. They do the job and they are well worth the modest price. What a treat it is to find these at last.

The Arrowhead erasers are made from a very good quality material. They last and remove pencil marks cleanly and easily.
In addition to the traditional use of erasing pencil writing from paper, I use the erasers for several other chores.

*Cleaning leather
Eraser removes minor scuffs from leather shoes, handbags, and coats. This saved me a lot of money from not having to do professional cleaning.

*Clean off crayon marks
A visiting toddler made a drawing on my wall, I had trouble removing it until I tried an eraser which worked!

*Remove scuff marks from wood floors
One pair of my winter slippers leave black marks on my wood floors.
An eraser takes them off without damaging the floor.

*Cushion picture frames
Some of my wall hangings seem to have a mind of their own and keep moving slightly askew. I glued the tips of erasers to the bottom corners of the frames and the picture now don't move, hang perfectly, and leave no marks on the wall.
A have a wall clock on a shiny finish painted wall. The clock would get adhered to the wall for years, even though the painting has been done years ago. I glued a tip of erase to the back bottom of the wall clock to create a bit of a space between the back of the clock and the wall - problem solved!

*Remove residue from stick-on labels
I use erase to remove the gummy substance on book covers or picture frames left by the price label. This works better than soap and water. Eraser just peels them off without damaging the item.

Arrowhead Pink Cap Eraser is great! I recommend it.

Ali Julia review

This was the item i was looking for. It is hard to find a good pencil top eraser. These are a very thick rubber that does not crack or get streched so they fall of of your pencil.

I used to be annoyed by trying to use store-brand erasers - yes, I'm looking at you, Staples! They were flimsy and would split and fall off the pencil after only a few uses. These Paper Mate ones are great - really sturdy, they hold on to the pencil and stay there, and they erase really well too. No complaints at all. I recommend them.
