Mechanical Pencil with an Eraser included

[BigguyZ]

OK, I have a customer who just bought a Jr Gent II for her brother. However, at his work he primarily uses pencil, so she's interested in a pencil for him. I think she would like one that has a built-in eraser. I'm not a fan of those personally, but I figured that you all would have more experience with pencils, and would be able to advise on what kits have an eraser built in, if she so wishes to go down that route.

Thank You,
Travis

The Berea PerfectFit has a built in eraser.

I've not seen any kit that has an eraser that is worth the trouble. They are all pretty small and break off (the eraser material, not the mechanism) as soon as you try to use them (YMMV).

You can do a "Pentel" pencil conversion. It has an eraser on the end under the cap. Check the library for a how to. Example pic attached. If you dont want to try one of these, contact me, maybe I can help.

Why not try a Junior Gent Pencil? It's 7MM, and if memory serves has a slightly larger than standard eraser.

FYI Good luck trying to find replacement Schmidt erasers for the Jr Gent Pencil. I bought some online....the only place I could find...that had tubes with 10 erasers in it for...get this $9 a tube. So I got 30 erasers for $27 bucks. The pentel erasers will fit in the schmidt holder but you have to cut and glue the eraser in.

When using a mech. pencil, I always find it much easier to use a Pentel click eraser. You never have to take the cap off the pencil and it lasts MUCH longer than the dinky built-in model.
