What is an eraser?

An eraser is used to erase writing, drawing, and other marks. Most people associate the term “eraser” with a pencil eraser. Pencil is designed to be temporary and easily removed, making it great for certain types of work like sketching. Students can also use pencils and pencil erasers in school subjects like math. An eraser is useful in any context where a person wants to write, draw, or make a mark without it being permanent.

Popular eraser brands include:

What types of erasers are there?

Pencil erasers are just one type of eraser. There are also special pens that use erasable ink and require a special pen eraser to work. There are also erasers for chalkboards and dry-erase boards.

Each type of eraser is designed for use with a certain type of tool. For example, a person can’t use a pencil eraser to erase dry-erase markers from a dry-erase board. The type of eraser a person needs depends on what medium they want to remove.

What are the different styles of erasers?

In addition to working with different media, erasers also come in different styles. For example, pencil erasers can be attached to the writing implement, or a person can buy separate rectangular, hand-held erasers. This is useful for a person who erases a lot and may quickly use up the provided pencil eraser.

There are also small eraser “caps,” which fit over the end of the pencil. Erasers can also come in different colors, like pink or white.

What is a refillable eraser?

People who erase a lot but don’t want to hold a rectangular eraser in their hand may opt for a pen-style eraser. This is a device that looks like a pen and has a cylindrical eraser inside, which emerges from one end. The person can push up the eraser cylinder as they use it up and eventually replace it with a new one once it’s empty.
