E10. Pentel Hyper/ClicEraser
Pentel Hyperaser
For erasing ink from paper. The narrow size makes it ideal for corrections. It is gritty and works for tough corrections, but is surprisingly gentle on paper. A neat, well-designed tool. Highly sought after, but almost impossible to find in the USA. (This eraser is NOT for erasing pencil guidelines. For that, use S86. Magic Rub Eraser $1.00.).
