Crayola 1ct Dual-Ended Erasable Highlighter Yellow

Love it. I had one I was already using. I bought this as a spare. When I opened the shrink wrapping to use this high lighter, it was already dried out. So disappointing. My original one was great. I rarely used the erasure feature but knew I could. I hope my next one is good. I love the product.

Pros: - Bright color - ERASABLE....what more can I say?! - Erase mistaken highlighting - Erase when highlighting is no longer neededCons: - Often, a bit of marking stays behind. Don't use this on something that needs to remain pristine. (i.e. I will use these on copies of a script, but never the rented original, as all marking needs to be removed from a script before returning to the company). Update 1/17/2018 (if I go slowly, can get all the highlighter off on scripts that need to be returned) - Usually takes a few swipes before the color is removed, so takes some time if you have a lot to erase (note: wait until completely dry before erasing or taking another swipe at erasing) - Would be great if it came in more colors, but I've never seen a color other than yellow. Would be nice to have! Please make green!The friction highlighters are lousy. The colors are poor, and the friction can make the underlying text blur.

As advertised, you can highlight and "unhighlight". However, one thing I do not like about it is that I can never highlight where I have once unhighlighted. When I try to highlight the section that was once unhighlighted, the color is immediately erased and thus not highlighted. This is true even after the eraser chemical is completely dry after several weeks. It seems like a permanent limitation. It would be nice if I can highlight and unhighlight repeatedly. I have to ask myself before I unhighlight - "is it ok not being able to highlight the section again, ever?"Also, the directly opposite side of the paper often cannot be highlighted after I unhighlight on a regular paper, such as text book page, as the eraser chemical penetrates to the other side.Overall, I find this product interesting and useful in many cases, but I also have to point out that the limitations are significant as I mentioned above.

This product works exactly as you would expect it to and is fun for all ages. You can use it to ensure that you have no excess highlighting mistakes or do what I do and use the "eraser" part to write messages and highlight it to see what it says. I also like to use different colors (because after a while the highlighter part will stop working..like most pens do). I have noticed that a light green works the best and the "eraser" ink will turn out blue. Avery Desk Style HI-LITER green is a great match to this highlighter.

Been using these since I received one as a gift years ago, and I won't use anything else. All other erasable highlighters use a mechanical eraser type thing that is not nearly as efficient. Keep in mind that once you use the eraser 'ink' you cannot ever re-do yellow ink on top.
