Sakura SumoGrip Block Eraser, Black, Small B80, 2.125 x 0.875 in, 3 Pack

These are actually more than hype - they are the real deal. When you homeschool young boys, you get to see the carnage of a penciled mistake in the student workbooks. With pink erasers, and white erasers, and basically every other style of eraser, you get an attempt from the kiddo - sort of - to erase a mistake, and hope it didn't destroy the work page in the process. You also get teeny tiny pieces of eraser dust - everywhere. That gritty stuff sinks into carpets or just sits there on the desk or in the pencil area until someone comes along to clean it. Add to that, what was supposed to correct a mistake by erasing completely, barely faded it with the half hearted attempts from a young kid to get on with finishing the work. What's left behind bleeds through to the correction making the entire thing an illegible mess. I stared at these a long time, digging in my heels like a sullen kid, just KNOWING that the claims made here were all hype and clever marketing. Equate this eraser with broccoli - you may not love it, but it's really good for you. Pros: - Less mess. The strings are longer and easier to gather up. - You stand a much better chance of fully erasing. The others still show pencil lines. - These last a long time with heavy use. The B80 size is perfect for a grammar school age kid. - Less pressure needed to erase = less damage to the paper. Significantly less. This cannot be overstated. - Seems to "smudge" less than others used. - Kids seem to recognize their value and seem to want to take care of them - they actually keep them off the floor and away from the dog, who is always looking to snatch up a random pencil or eraser. - Work just as well for colored pencils too. Cons: - Maybe "slightly" more expensive than a standard eraser, but it seems to be in a very small degree. Considering the significant improvement over it's primary job - "erasing" - it actually is worth the extra dime/quarter per eraser. This item in the 3 pack is about $4 total - It's cheap enough to test out without feeling like you are destroying the school budget. You won't go backwards or reach for Papermate/Pentel brand again, no matter how many they sell in bulk. You just won't.

Honestly, this is by far the best block eraser I have ever used. Until I got the SumoGrip Block Eraser, I thought all erasers were just the same! I will say that I feel this will get used up faster, but I think it erases cleaner than old-school block erasers.

TL;DR - Buy more of these erasers than you think you need because they're perfect and you'll use them for everything. These erasers are nearly perfect. They clump incredibly so there's minimal eraser left overs, they're dark so they don't get visibly dirty, they have a little sumo guy on the cover, and they completely DESTROY pencil on paper. You could pencil over the same spot for an hour, and these erasers would still make a completely clean line through the spot you erased. Okay, maybe not THAT strong of an eraser, but I've rarely ever had to go over a heavily pencilled spot more than twice with a proper amount of pressure. Speaking of pressure, these erasers barely require any of it! Seamless erasing with barely any effort. Not to mention that these have barely ripped papers I erase on, even when I'm going ham with all my might just to see how big of an eraser shaving clump I can make. If I have one thing to say about these, is that you HAVE to buy more than you intend to use, because they will be gone faster than you think, not because they have bad longevity, in fact, they have incredible longevity because they're so efficient. You have to buy more because you'll just use them more than you'd use your run of the mill Walmart eraser. You'll be turning to these for nearly anything, including things that don't need erasing. I don't know how, but they're just fun to use with how efficient they are. They even work decently at erasing colored pencil, but I haven't experimented much because I don't use colored pencils.

Great quality product and the erases as advertised. I recommend it

Amazing eraser. I had heard good things about this eraser in comparison to the fabled tombow mono. This eraser is every bit as good if not better than the mono. It has a slightly tougher, stiffer, more rubbery feel, but it erases like a champ. Even darker 2b-5b pencils are no match. It feels like it also picks up more of the graphite than other erasers like the mono, but that could just be the black color of the eraser. The only downside is that it does appear to get used up more quickly than some others, after a few lines of erasing it had eaten up a good amount of the product. But that is probably why it works so well if it’s really removing a lot of material. Overall great product. For the price it isn’t too bad 3 erasers for $6-7 is about in par for a premium product, and one of the oldest performing erasers I’ve used.

Okay, how many erasers out there claim to be the best? They all say they erase cleanly... but how many actually do? I’ve tried a few that didn’t live up to the hype. So I kept searching—because I use pencils every day. Then I came across the Sakura SumoGrip Block Eraser – Microporous Erasers and thought, why not? It’s just $7. But this time? Total win. I love these erasers! Finally, one that actually works—no more scrubbing the same spot 10 times. Small heads-up: if you’re erasing a lot, it does leave some tiny residue. The pieces can be so small they vanish when you try to pick them up. But I use a plastic pad to catch it, which is no big deal to me. Bottom line: I found my go-to eraser. It erases clean and doesn’t leave all the marks behind. Mission accomplished.

These erasers are fantastic. You can find them on eBay for comparable price. I've I'm send them for years and I got spoiled on my them. This is part of my last Amazon transaction ever. They lie and cheat til they get your money. Then that was wrong information. Our supervisor told you. Amazon asked me to rewrite my review. So neverbuy from amazon. Youll be the one taking it in the ass from them

First off they come in packs of 3 and in different sizes. I could not find various colors but they may have not been available at the time of my purchase. Great product love these SumoGrip erasers a good finish eraser they are easy on most ink pigments no fading. Initial sketch penciling is removed with ease leaves no smudged marks at all and stays clean after use something most erasers, even the top brands can become a little dirty and need to be cleaned. More importantly no eraser to paper smudging as long as your using H series pencils or pencil leads like 2H, 3H,4H and the like. You heavy handed guys n gals with your B series leads that some love to use you troublemakers though sumo’s still work well on softer leads points but can still leave faint lines. One of the best products I’ve ever encountered hands down or up! However you choose to celebrate highly recommend SumoGrip

Simplemente las mejores gomas que existen, ya las he pedido varias veces, en verdad casi no dejan basura y borran excelente.

best eraser i've used so far, erases easy, no smudging, little pressure

La calidad del producto permite un trabajo muy limpio, muy recomendable.

The SumoGrip Black Eraser is truly a unique gem among erasers. Its black color sets it apart from the crowd, but what really makes it stand out is its remarkable combination of being slightly harder in texture than a typical eraser while requiring minimal pressure to erase pencil writings. It's like having a powerful yet gentle eraser at your fingertips! I was initially drawn to the sleek black design of the SumoGrip, and I must say, it looks even better in person than in the product images. But beyond its stylish appearance, this eraser packs a punch when it comes to performance. The slightly harder texture gives it a sturdy feel, allowing for more control and precision during erasing. Despite its firmness, the SumoGrip glides effortlessly over paper, making pencil markings vanish with incredible ease. I was pleasantly surprised by how little pressure is needed to erase even the darkest pencil lines. It's a game-changer, especially for those who have struggled with erasers that smudge or tear the paper. The SumoGrip's erasing capability is nothing short of impressive. It leaves behind a clean, smooth surface, and I haven't experienced any smudging or ghosting after using it. It's like the pencil marks were never there in the first place! One of the key advantages of this eraser is its longevity. Due to the harder texture, it wears down at a slower pace compared to softer erasers, so you get more use out of it before needing a replacement. It's an economical choice for both students and professionals alike. The comfort and ease of use are unparalleled. I find myself reaching for the SumoGrip even for the smallest corrections, as it's a joy to work with. It's perfect for detailed work, sketching, and any task that demands precision erasing. In summary, the SumoGrip Black Eraser is a real winner in my book. Its unique black color adds a touch of sophistication, and its slightly harder texture paired with its effortless erasing ability make it a must-have tool for any pencil user. Whether you're an artist, student, or office worker, the SumoGrip will undoubtedly elevate your erasing experience. I highly recommend giving it a try – you won't be disappointed!

Don’t bother trying any other erasers - this one does a top notch job - it wipes pencil marks clean and does not leave any smudge marks.
