Product Information

Full details

The Faber-Castell Perfection Eraser Pencils (7056) are designed for professional artists, illustrators, and students who require pinpoint accuracy when correcting fine details in graphite, charcoal, or colored pencil artwork. By combining the precision of a wood-cased pencil with a high-quality eraser core, these tools allow for surgical corrections without damaging surrounding work; however, users should be aware that the firm eraser core is best suited for delicate lifting rather than removing large areas of pigment.

FAQs

Can I use these on charcoal drawings?

Yes, they are highly effective for creating highlights in charcoal sketches, though you should clean the tip frequently.

Does this eraser contain PVC?

No, the eraser core is explicitly PVC-free.

What kind of sharpener should I use?

A standard pencil sharpener works perfectly, though a high-quality metal sharpener is recommended for the best results.

Are these suitable for children?

They are safe to use, but as with all pencils, they should be kept away from very small children to prevent potential injury from the sharp point.

Can they erase permanent ink?

No, these are designed for dry artistic media like graphite, charcoal, and colored pencils; they will not remove permanent ink.

Troubleshooting

Eraser core breaks while sharpening

Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp. If the blade is dull, it exerts too much pressure, causing the firmer eraser core to snap.

Eraser is smudging the graphite instead of lifting it

The eraser core might be dirty from previous use. Sharpen the pencil to expose a clean, fresh surface of the eraser.

Wood casing is splintering

Avoid using low-quality plastic sharpeners. Use a sharp, high-quality metal sharpener and sharpen with a gentle, consistent rotating motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for erasing extremely small areas
  • Can be sharpened to a fine point for maximum precision
  • Durable wood-cased design protects the eraser core
  • Environmentally conscious PVC-free material
  • Sturdy enough to erase through various types of drawing paper without crumbling easily

Cons

  • Not intended for erasing large surface areas
  • Requires regular sharpening to maintain a fine tip
  • Can be abrasive on very thin or delicate paper if pressed too hard

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These eraser pencils function exactly like standard graphite pencils. To set them up, simply sharpen the pencil using a high-quality metal-blade sharpener to achieve your desired tip size. Because the eraser core is firmer than a standard pencil lead, ensure your sharpener blade is sharp to prevent the wood from splintering. When not in use, store these pencils in a cool, dry place to prevent the eraser material from hardening. Keep the tips protected with a cap or in a pencil case to avoid accidental breakage or dulling of the point.
