Paper Mate Arrowhead Pearl Erasers Reviews Summary

Erasability

Pros:

• "These fit so well, erase easily and completely and DO NOT break at the end of the pencil."
• "These are AMAZING because they erase ten times better than normal ones, and they don’t wear out."
• "Erases well and you cannot beat the price! (2.97 for one gross)"
• "These cap erasers are nearly indestructible and cleanly erase without tearing."
• "They're made of a high-quality, smudge-proof material that effectively removes pencil marks without leaving any residue."
• "They fit snug on the end of our pencils. They erase really well with minimal pressing."
• "They erase clean and seem to hold up just as well as when I was young."

Cons:

• "So sad, EVERY SINGLE one of these has split."
• "The teacher said they are a bit hard (I think they were ripping the paper or else leaving big gobs of used eraser bits)."
• "They are cracking on any pencil I use unless I take a drill bit and make the hole bigger."
• "But the pencil lead accumulates on the eraser turning it black. The next time you erase something the black residue smudges on the paper."
• "They bend when you try to erase and eventually break apart at the bending crease after very few uses."
• "The worst part about these is that they really don't work well at all, unless your lightly and I do mean lightly making pencil Mark's."
• "Paper Mate should be ashamed of selling such an terrible product! I bought these a month ago and intend to THROW AWAY the 135 or so I have left."

Durability and Fit

Pros:

• "These erasers are fantastic. My school-aged daughters burn through the erasers on the back of their pencils way before the pencil is used up."
• "They're thick and sturdy and very durable."
• "They last long enough that your pencil will be too short before you need another eraser cap."
• "They're VERY durable and most importantly, they erase really really well."
• "These erasers are tough and stay on the pencils!"
• "These are the best erasers ever! They stay tightly on pencils, don’t break, and erase well."
• "They are very sturdy and durable, and they last quite a while."

Cons:

• "They fit very snug around the pencil, so occasionally I've had the original eraser come off, but that's usually with cheap pencils."
• "They fit well enough if you really push them on the pencil, kind of dig the end in because are kind of tight. Otherwise they pop off."
• "Fantastic but DONT LET YOUR STUDENTS REMOVE THEM ONCE ON because most of the time they will remove the metal eraser holder off the top of the pencil and then the metal is stuck in the eraser top and you have to remove it with tweezers....just don’t remove it and save yourself."
• "Maybe too snug because it pulls off the metal eraser top with it."
• "These do not stay on mechanical pencils-not long enough 'sleeve'."
• "It supposed to be 144 count but there were only 104 count."
• "However, there definitely wasn't 144 in the box like there was supposed to be."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Great quality and great price, exactly what I was looking for."
• "We go through a lot of erasers at work, these are the absolute best for the money."
• "The price is so great that I don't feel that I am at a loss."
• "Great price for the amount of erasers."
• "Really worth what you're getting and can't beat the price!"
• "The box of 144 for $4.49 (as a Prime add-on item) is a great price at about $.03 each."
• "The amount of erasers for the price is a steal. Definitely recommend."

Cons:

• "The box was packaged in a bag so it was destroyed."
• "But beware of Amazon's terrible packaging."
• "The box was crushed so I had to put them in a bag."
• "I'm dinging it a star because the box came open, the erasers were spilled out all over the box, and one was missing (yes, I sat there and counted 143 erasers)."
• "I bought the damaged box option, the box only came with 127 bc of that I’m assuming."
