Modern Fuel "Lifetime" Mechanical Pencils

Mar 26, 2015

The reason I didn't back this on Kickstarter was because of the eraser. It's awesome that he provides extras with each pencil, but there is no information on how to get more later on, or if he made the erasers a "standard" size (like what a BIC pencil might use). I would hope they are a common size that could be bought from a larger company that has a smaller risk of going out of business. Otherwise, $90 is a lot to risk on something that I might have to buy custom erasers for or that I can't get an eraser for in 5 years.
His Kickstarter page indicates that he is the only source for more erasers for this specific pencil:
"The erasers will be available in packs of five, if not before the end of the campaign, certainly soon after it finishes. I understand that as soon as the eraser wears down on a mechanical pencil it starts sitting around. I don’t want that to happen. I will also make them reasonably priced and convenient to buy online well after the Kickstarter project."
Does anyone know what type of erasers the refills are and whether or not you have to buy them from him every time you want more?

wrelamMaybe, you can cut one out of any regular-sized eraser you have. Or try to get a similar one from a wooden pencil then cut it.

wrelamHey @wrelam, re: erasers - They are 6mm x 10mm size, and will be available on Amazon beginning in early April; we'll post a link to Andrew's store here so members can find it easily.

JonasHeinemanThanks for contacting him and finding the exact dimensions of the eraser. That's exactly the information I was looking for!
Also, I just measured the eraser on a BIC pencil (

), and it is 6.5mm x 10mm.
