Review on Kneadable Eraser Faber Castell Package by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great erasers! Great for people with arthritis!

UPDATE: I reordered these when I finally completed my first order (see first review below). Unlike the first order, they came in a box with each eraser in a separate box. As noted below, they may have tried to save on shipping by using a regular postal envelope instead of a cardboard box. They can feel a bit sticky and very soft at first, but over time they will firm up and become less sticky. They fit well and last a long time. ORIGINAL REVIEW (circa 2017-2018) So I received this today and found, that they were delivered in a mail bag and not a box. So I opened the bag and all the erasers were there, six of each color: red, blue and yellow. But they weren't in hard plastic cases, as shown here. I know it's not listed in the item description, but it was noticed by another reviewer, so he figured that's how they came up. My guess is that the seller wanted to save postage and time by simply getting rid of the extra packaging. Not fair, I really wanted those separate storage boxes. So. Also, the erasers are bigger than they looked when I took them out and started kneading. It's softer than the gray erasers I've encountered, but I was still able to get my point across. Of course, I don't put a lot of pressure on it. This gives a clean eraser without leaving traces or pencil lines. Overall I am happy with this product and would buy it again and recommend it. Three stars because of the lack of packaging. I will contact the seller and adjust my rating accordingly. I noticed that after using one of these for a while it became firmer. So don't worry, it won't retain the original stickiness you might feel when opening a new one. They still remain soft, making them suitable for people with arthritis or similar problems. EDIT: I received an email from the company about the individual boxes they will be examining, but nothing since. UPDATE 4/2/16: I never heard anything about the cases from the seller. This does not affect their use so I am not concerned and will amend my rating to reflect the quality of the item only. Don't keep the original stickiness you can feel when opening a new one. They are still soft therefore suitable for people with arthritis or other similar problems.
