Helix Oxford Twin Pack of Erasers, Oxford Blue, Large

These Helix Oxford erasers are large and soft, making it easy to erase pencil marks cleanly without damaging paper. The twin-pack is handy — you get a spare when one runs out or gets messy. They’re durable and don’t crumble easily. Value for money is very good — two quality erasers for a low price. Overall: a practical, reliable tool for students, artists, or anyone who writes in pencil.

These are excellent erasers. They work perfectly, last a very long time and are great value.

Classics that always seem to be a premium brand. These were around when I was at school and they're still going strong today (many years later) Nice quality.

I never remembered being so entranced with school materials until I got these erasers and a pencil sharpener for my kids... Then I Remembered *that* feeling of standing in W.H. Smiths with my mum the weekend before the new school year starter. We'd pick a pencil case (although I tended to go back to my wooden one with a slidey top), and some mathsy things. Our school always wanted us to have a fountain pen, a soft and hard pencil, and an eraser. Back then most kids had "The Big Pink One", this giant slab of rubber that was massively unweildy and had its name in giant black letters across the front. It was so large it would barely fit in pencil cases. Some of us just relied on the little rubber on the tip of the pencil, but I remember that my mum would tend to get a 2H pencil, a 2B pencil and a pair of erasers just like these. A 2H pencil, if you don't know, is semi-hard. It's good for maths and graphs, but not as good as the 2B for doing drawings and shading. But, just using the 2B/2H meant that they could be rubbed out neatly so long as you had a WHITE rubber. The Big Pink One always failed to clean up after itself. It'd leave a faint pinkness to the page, and it was so unwieldy that you couldn't easily get to /just/ the bit you needed to erase. Similarly, the ones on the tops of the pencils were good, but got dirty, chewed, worn down, and soon you were scratching the page with the iron collar around the rubber tip. These white square erasers, however, were downright perfect. They have a nice clean corner (8 to choose from, I suppose), so you could pinpoint the bit to erase. Because they're white, they leave no marks or residue, and because they have the card around them they're not prone to being chewed, snapped or have grubby fingerprints on them. The short and long edges between the corners at the ends are great for slightly larger erasings, say a line graph or some ven-diagram filling-in that went wrong. And finally the nice flat rectangular end is perfect for really big jobs, like erasing whole pictures. Essentially, these are not just erasers, they're a whole erasing toolkit, specifically designed to sit comfortably in the hand, remain functional, do their job and create the minimum of fuss. Let's face it, when you make a mistake, you want to forget about it and move on, right? What's the point of an eraser that forces you to go back and re-work the erasure over and over again? If you're in an exam, neatness counts for marks, and having the ability to quickly rub out your errors, and get on with the right answer translates directly into better grades. As a parent thinking about your children's grades, you need to ask yourself: "Is it better for my kids to have a classical, quality, stylishly designed eraser that gets them better grades, or should I get that sparkly pink unicorn that smears glitter all over their geography homework?". I think we both know that we want our kids to do better at school. Just say "no" to the sparkly unicorn, and say "hello" to the ultimate in pencil-erasing technology. It's not spangly, or futuristic, it's timelessly classic, and when you use it you feel like a GOD. They say that we learn from our mistakes. Well, now you can learn from more mistakes in less time! Make as many mistakes as you like! Get your Ph.D in mistakes, trying all kinds of things while your stylish friend is still trying to get the black smears off a picture they drew of the atom because they stupidly put three electrons in an S-shell (come on, we've all done it, and we know better now!), or gracefully lower those cumulus clouds from their too-lofty location in the final Geography GCSE because we mis-read "strato-cumulus" as "stratus"!! Oh, what mistakes we've made in our lifetimes, and what things we've learned. If you don't buy this eraser it'll just be the first mistake you'll make of many for the rest of your life. Buy this, and every mistake you make from now on will lead you inexorably towards higher-learning, enlightenment and joy. Seriously. These are excellent. They're just right in every way. Get them.

There’s something oddly nostalgic about these erasers—they’re the exact kind you remember from school, but they actually perform better than most of the fancy modern ones. Clean, smooth erasing without smudges or tearing holes through the paper like a wild animal. They’re compact, neat, and last longer than expected. I’ve used them on pencil sketches, notes, and even shading, and they lift the graphite without leaving behind that annoying dirty smear. It’s the kind of eraser you don’t think much about until you try a bad one, then you realise how much you appreciate a reliable one. Plus, they just look classic. No gimmicks, no scented nonsense, just a straightforward, trustworthy eraser. If you draw or write a lot, you’ll be glad to have these in your kit.

Does what it should do!

Excellent rubbers. A staple addition to any pencil case, good value, lasts forever and erases perfectly.
