Need an eraser refill for your mechanical pencil? We have loads of them. In general, it’s best to get the right refills for your pencil model - if we sell the pencil, try looking it up here, then see the ‘Refills & Spares’ section, which should show you the right erasers. It’s surprising how many mechanical pencils do have spares available. Most big brands only use a limited number of different eraser types, which can make things simpler - there are often only two or three different erasers, used by perhaps 10 or 20 different pencils.
If you’re really stuck, and just want to try to make something fit, there are some options. Try to find something the right shape and size, but err on the side of the eraser being a little too large - you can trim it down to fit, either by cutting or just rubbing it on paper to wear it down a bit. The alternative is to cut pieces out from a block eraser, which won’t usually look great, but do you care how the eraser looks? They’re often hidden under a cover, and they soon stop looking good when they’ve been used a bit anyway.
There are also refills here for eraser 'pens', or eraser holders. These can be really good if you do a lot of erasing, working a bit like a mechanical pencil with a thin eraser in place of the lead.
