Pros:	Erases illustration paints like ComArt or Golden Airbrush color on semi-hard/hard surface
Cons:	Eraser nibs do hot hold tight in mandril and slide in as you press. Batteries don't last

This is a good product for $12. It will let you see the value of an electric eraser as an airbrush artist. If you like it, you will probably want a real one (powered by a cord). The eraser nibs are only an inch long and slide in a split sleave that the goes into the body of the tool The split sleeve is compressed as it slides in the hole to hold the eraser. This does not work so well and the nib keeps sliding in father as you erase. All in all for $12 I think this is worth trying, you can remove over spray or small mistakes. This can also be used to produce textures which would be almost impossible otherwise.
