Mechanical Pencils With Big Eraser?

These are amazing: http://www.pentel.com/store/clic-eraser

 

And you can buy refills for them. I have had mine since I was in college. As an accounting student erasing came in handy when doing homework. They clip to your pocket just like a pen or your mechanical pencil.

How about a Sumo Grip pencil? I use them religiously and love them. Twist eraser with no weird cap. Click-to-advance. Variety of sizes and colors. Wide girth and rubber grip.

 

And they're CHEAP.

No, that's not blood. That's Noodler's Antietam.

If someone still needs a replacement eraser which will fit the Parker Duofold SR mechanical pencil and have the metal grommet the old eraser was installed in....

Search on the 'net for OHTO 2.0mm Sharp Pencil. Replacement erasers are available for it which are 9mm in diameter.

They will fit into the Parker original metal grommet with a little persuasion and lighter fluid lubricant.

The replacements are a little bit short........FYI

Somehow I seem to have missed the beginning of the thread before now.  Because otherwise I would have said to just get a separate eraser (either one of those white polymer ones, or a kneaded eraser).  There are also "click" erasers, like this: https://www.staples.com/Pentel-Clic-Eraser-with-Grip-3-Pack/product_264291 which have a tube eraser inside them (like a mechanical pencil or lead holder).  

Another possibility might be (if they fit over the end of the OP's mechanical pencil) these: https://www.staples.com/Staples-Cap-Erasers-Assorted-Dozen/product_771352 -- but I don't know how good they are (whereas I'm very familiar with the first three types and use them on a regular basis).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
