I honestly didn’t know the hubs was such a tool guy when I married him. Sure, there were a wide array of duplicate power tools on his old wooden boat, but all boat guys have tools, right? What did I know? Nothing, it turns out as usual.
Now that he doesn’t have an old lady wooden boat he has found other reasons to throw away money invest in power tools. Naturally, there’s the house project. That’s a given.
But being the Renaissance-y guy he is, he has broadened his interests to include watercolor painting. Which means he is drawing.
Which means his raison d’etre in the power tools world has a new angle.
I give you,
Exhibit A:
Did you even know they make battery-powered erasers?? They are not on the school supply list for Bainbridge Island (amazingly enough!).
(By the way, there is no fan attachment here; you still have to blow the eraser crumbs away when you’re done erasing. Can you say, “hassle?”)
What are these for? When you need to get rid of that drawing STAT!!?! Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t art supposed be done in a relaxed state, a pondering-of-life moment?
Where does hyper-erasing come in?
If you are an old artist who can no longer make that flick-flick motion?
If you are so disgusted and can’t stand to look at your work for one more second?
Or maybe you’re just a nut who is enamored with items functioning without you moving a muscle?
Stay tuned next week when we will review battery-powered paintbrushes, friend or foe, and electric brush cleaners, a new era in clean?
What do you think–is an electric eraser cool or dumb? I’d like to hear your opinions.

I agree – powered eraser is serious overkill.
Wow! Fridiculous!
Of course this is coming from someone who only types, never uses pencil, and constantly utilizes “ctrl A delete” so maybe I shouldn’t talk about mechanical erasing snobbery, eh? Heh!

Ha! I love you all for siding with me! (yes, i’m superficial that way)
Although I’m informed the electric eraser does extra special erasing of stuff that ordinary erasers do not do…or something like that.
Whatever, i wasn’t really listening to the hubs defend his position on buying another power tool…. (luv ya, hon!)
I am that old guy who does have some hand medical issues and who likes to sketch and paint. Who are you? That designer who makes painting more enjoyable for me. I am just an old guy who thanks the innovative team for this design.. it’s for me. I need lots of stuff to met my needs. Electric paintbrushes indeed.
