Thanks everyone for taking the trouble to post.
I've never been a great fan of kit erasers, and the overwhelming message here is that it's not that important, which to be honest, surprises me a little. - which just proves its worth asking the question.
To include an eraser means lots of negatives, without even considering whether the eraser itself is any good. It means a longer pen for a start, and there has to be a method to conceal/expose the eraser which means extra components, which are either going to add to the weight or are going to be flimsy so that weight is not an issue. Ultimately too, it means higher costs, not just for the eraser but for all the extra bits, which in the main, most people are saying, is a pointless annoyance we can all do without. It also introduces an element of contention - its all very well telling customers where to buy a pen refill, its another telling them where to buy a replacement eraser. If it's not there in the first place, there is no discussion necessary.
Thanks for your input - its really appreciated. It's members of this forum who but the kits at the end of the day, so your say in the design process is always welcome.
