The best eraser to use when learning engineering graphics is a white vinyl eraser. These are available in block form or in a convenient pen package. Some (but not very many) mechanical pencils come with a quality vinyl eraser. Be sure to check the quality of the eraser. You will probably need to purchase an eraser separate from your mechanical pencil.
