      ​@@Thatone0690the Pink eraser does literally everything that was being discussed as long as you, y'know, know how an eraser works.
      Use the ends when you want to erase something tiny, use the angled face to erase a big gap, use the sides of the eraser to erase like one line of text at a time.

But otherwise, we don't actually need a very specialised eraser for everyday uses. I never had a specialised eraser and it never bothered me.

    For those that don’t know it’s easy to clean your erasers even the ones at the end of your pencils. All you need is your dirty graphite covered eraser and have a pair of jeans on. I personally bring my knee up to my chest use it as a stable surface of sorts to rub my dirty graphite and pencil lead covered eraser on. The friction between your jeans and the eraser, well eraser the graphite and pencil lead off your eraser My old art teacher taught me it when she saw my pile of eraser covered in graphite and pencil lead.

      Artist here and I would not recommend doing this. This can wear the fabrics down on your jeans. And trust me, lots of fabrics WILL wear. Espevially light colored denim? The graphite will definitely leave streaks. I did this too throughout my schooling and during art classes. Try to carry a strip of fabric with you in your pencil case or art bag! Cut up a old towel or rag. Hope it helps. It definitely works, but value your pants more 😅

    You can always trim the pink one with a knife.
    The ones built into pencils are the real problem erasers. Either they get overused or they fall off after a few uses. They also get thrown away with the pencil when the pencil gets dropped one too many times.

When full of material You dispose it but it takes A LOT to do it..... Look for it at an artist's store at your country!

    Every eraser has its own purpose and reason for existing. Almost all pink erasers are there for a few primary reasons that I won't list here, and the most important one is price. All erasers are absolutely abrasive to a certain extent or otherwise cause some kind of interaction with the surface and the media. The question you need to ask is what is the most effective way of doing the job you need while also being able to reduce the overall damage or make the damage work for you.

      @mansoorsaleem525 What was shown was a kind of artist eraser and I have used similar erasers. Some erasers come in these mechanical devices that keep them from being broken during use but they are absolutely able to erase very well. Certain people who have their quirks will only use a certain type of eraser or something like that. There are also many people who are actually obsessed with using every possible amount of an eraser before switching to a new one or those who can't stand to use it on the end of their pencil. As a matter of infact, most normal wood pencils will completely run out of the eraser well before you ever get to 1/4 of the pencil used. In other words, Basically you won't have used even 1/4 of the overall length of any kind of pencil before you have completely used up the eraser on the end of your pencil. You can get to about 1/3 if you completely remove the eraser from the end of the pencil and go to enormous efforts to use it.

      @hirsutuscanis Erasers are kinda like an arcane thing on a very minor scale. Some artists actually have a thing for their special erasers and what exactly they are using them for. There are erasers that are moldable like clay, then you have plastic erasers that are as soft as a bit of tissue paper. You also have erasers that are so hard that they start to crumble as soon as you scrub them across the surface. Then you have erasers that come in dispensers and might be almost as thin as 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 pencil graphite. These erasers each have their own special reasons for existence. However, they have been co-opted for many other uses over the years.
