Has anyone tried theses erasers with a BIC Atlantic/Velocity mechanical pencil? My pencils erasers don't have the metal, maybe without it?

I am in the same boat. They do not fit with the band, eraser are to big without the metal band to small. I have a pretty good collections of. Mechanical pencil. I have not found one yet that they fit in?

Sorry I don't know but the extra long don't last long. I won't buy them again. I have one with an extra hard rubber tip, but I don't know where I bought. It will last forever. The rubber tip fit over the pencil.

The erasers never run out! They work by friction, and so they don't actually lose little pieces like regular rubber erasers. I often erase something and then out of habit brush my hand across the spot to clear away the little bits of eraser... but there's nothing to brush off the paper! The ink will run out, but the eraser will not.

After doing a lot of reading about erasers I would only use Staedtler erasers that are offered for the little machine. They are made of the same quality as the wonderful Mars eraser. As they say, accept no substitutes. Amazon carries the erasers. Apparently other machines use other sizes.

Hi and no eraser, would not be conducive to highlighter as these are more like paint pigment but would have limited use if using my suggestion to replace leads for a range of standard graphite leads, better really carry pen type or kneadable eraser. There is non copy leads supplied which are invisible to scanners.

Just place the lead under the eraser on top after removing the eraser. Once it is placed, click on the side button and the lead will come down. Works great!

The eraser is 1 1/4". These are the best pencil. I was always a #2 lead pencil girl until my son showed me these. They are the best. They don't break; they don't wear out. I had to reorder because people steal them--all they have to do is ask if they could have it! I erase frequently, but the eraser has never run out. Hope you like them. S.

The black pencils have a different kind of eraser. It's just so much nicer and cleaner than a regular pencil.

YES!! I know what you mean. These are the only mechanical pencils I use and it is because the erasers are excellent. It is definitely worth a try.

I do not believe so, we haven't tried them though. Everywhere I looked it said that you have to use ONLY the Crayola Dry Erase Markers - I've read reviews that said 'normal' dry erase markers did not fully erase. Don't know it this helps you..

No... These are not erasers. They arnt that kind of tool. And can not be used as erasers.

No, the pencil doesn't come with an eraser. It is a drafting, technical pencil. The top of it is pushed in to allow the lead to be adjusted. If you want to erase, you will have to buy a separate eraser.

The erasers are not normal erasers. They erase by friction and do not wear out at all. They do not break down or lose their ability to erase. I've had these pens since they first came out and the erasers are exactly the same as they were when I first bought them. As a side note: do not try to erase pencil lines with them. They will smudge pencil lines. If you have pencil and pen lines, erase the pencil lines first with a regular eraser.

Yes. The itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny near useless little emergency eraser for the times when you forgot or can't find your good block eraser. That one. Near, but not absolutely completely, useless. Also very expensive to replace when you run out of them, so at that point you're better off buying a whole new pencil set. Which comes with more erasers. And buying another block eraser so you don't keep using the tiny erasers up.

No. I've tried it and standard cap erasers do not fit on these pencils. I wish they did... or that replacement erasers were available.

I can not tell you 100% as I have not seen them in a while since I purchased and I bought a bulk order, so only looked inside bag once when received. My wife uses them in 1st grade class. I think they are. Sharpen well and lead is good. Wife mentioned erasers do not stay in as well as some, but 1st graders are hard on any eraser. I hope I am right for your question. Sorry I do not know 100%.

Yes, if functioning correctly the correct sized lead can be fed into the tube once the eraser is removed. It is un-advisable to feed the 5mm and 7mm respectively into the tip, they would tend to break given their thinness.
