Advantages: Works well usually, Easy to use, Cute design, Very useful

Disadvantages: Sometimes messy and/or doesn't work efficiently making it even more messy!

The Tipp-ex pocket mouse is a rather good product, so long it doesn't break! You can buy the original Tipp-ex in a small bottle, where you paint on the solution. This is a much more dangerous option as the stuff gets all over your hands and can spill on clothes due to it's thin viscosity, in which case it may ruin them for good!

The Pocket Mouse version comes in a plastic box, shaped rather like a mouse. You actually use its nose/mouth to paste over writing that may need correcting. It works well on normal paper but I wouldn't recommend it for card or anything else. You simply open the red nose and press reasonably hard as you drag it along the writing you wish to cover. It's excellent for spelling mistakes or errors when writing something down as you can go over it and make it white again!

Once you have used the tipp-ex, I would recommend writing over it with a biro. This is because ink pens and roller balls don't work as well on the tipp-ex you are applying. The only problem with the pocket mouse is when the tape inside messes up or you are dragging it across your work and the tape breaks, meaning you have to do one more bit, making it even more messy than before! When used correctly, it works brilliantly but you have to be gentle but subtle with it.

Thanks for reading

Summary: A good office tool, which is very useful and effective if it doesn't mess up
